Lubrication
and Oil
Drainage
Important
As this is a ultra
high speed
machine, DO NOT
run the machine
before oiling and
assuming the
direction of the
motor rotation.
Remove the rubber plug and fill the
lubricant oil (Singer Oil) until the
indicator of the oil level between 'L'
and 'H' lines of the oil level sight
window. After that put back the
rubber plug.
H
L
When using the machine for the
first time, or a machine that has not
been used for some time, oil the
needle bar top, the guides and
looper before running it.
Figure 5aFigure 5b
To preserve the machine, change
the oil after the four weeks of use.
After that, the oil must be changed
every six months. To change the oil,
simply remove screw indicated on
Figure 6. After draining the oil,
replace the screw and fill the
machine with new oil.
This machine has an oil filter that
must be cleaned every month or
changed as needed. To replace the
oil filter, simply remove four screws
and remove the top cover indicate
on Figure 7. Then remove three
screws and remove oil filter cap.

Replacing the upper knife
1. Loosen screw ‘1’. Move lower
knife holder ‘2’ to the extreme left
position. Tighten screw ‘1’ temporarily.
2. Remove screw ‘3’ and then upper
knife ‘4’.
To install a new upper knife, turn
the handwheel until the upper knife
holder reaches the lowest position of
its stroke. Overlap the cutting edges
of the upper anb lower knives by
0.5~1.0 mm according to the overedge width (Figure 11).
3. Overlap the cutting edges of the
upper and lower knives so that midpoint ‘A’ on upper knife ‘4’ and the
midpoint of lower knife ‘6’ are
crossed (Figure 12). Loosen screw
‘1’. Make sure the upper and lower
knives mate positively. Then tighten
screw ‘1’.
4. Place a thread between the upper
and lower knives. Check the cutting by
turning the handwheel.

Thread Tension
Adjustment
Important
The thread tension
should be adjusted
according to the
type and thickness
of the cloth,
sewing thread,
sewing width,
stitch length and
others. Therefore
the pressure of the
tension nuts or
thread guides
should be individu-
ally adjusted for
each case.
The following adjustments are related to Figure 16 &17.
Tension Nut 1: controls the needle thread or the left thread in
case of two needles.
Tension Nut 2: controls the thread in the right needle.
Tension Nut 3: controls the thread in the lower looper.
Tension Nut 4: controls the thread in the lower looper.
Tension Nut 5: controls the thread of the safety stitch.

Inspection
When Machine is running, oil will
be sprayed into the oil window. If
no oil sprayed, please check oil
level (see topic 3.3)
If the machine was idle for a long
time, oil the top of the needle
holder, guides and looper guides
before resuming the operation.
The oil should be changed every
four months. To replace the oil,
follow the instructions of topic 3.3.
The oil filter should be cleaned
every month or replaced by a new
one as necessary. To clean or
replace the oil filter, follow the
instructions of topic 3.3.
Frequently check if all safety
devices are properly installed and
adjusted.
Check all screws that fix and hold
the machine head that should be
properly tight.
(Operating)
OK!
