Sewing machines, with proper care, can last for years or even decades. The easiest way to find the information you need is in the technical documentation for a specific product. But if it is lost or not too accurate, it doesn't matter - the problem is easily solved. It is very important to immediately write down separately which oil to use and how often to use it. If no information is available, it remains to use only regular machine oil.

Important: you cannot use containers and accessories that were previously used for any other tasks for lubrication. In the process of work you will need:

• suitable lubricating fluid;
• lint-free napkin;
• syringe;
• brush;
• tweezers;
• old kitchen oilcloth;
• screwdriver.

It is very good if at least some of these devices and tools are included. But when you need to buy them yourself, you need to go to a specialized store or to a department of a large supermarket.

The key elements that need to be lubricated are the shuttle and the parts around it. The machine is de-energized and placed on an oilcloth. Next, using a screwdriver, unscrew the screws that interfere with the removal of the case. When it is dismantled, it is time to use a brush to remove dust and dirt, accumulated fibers from different places.

Some people apply it directly from a dispenser bottle, but the distribution accuracy and processing efficiency will then be lower. It is worth remembering to bring the tip as close to the part as possible, and then release a few drops of oil. You cannot use too much lubricant, because it is no less harmful than a lack of it.

Before lubrication, be sure to clean:

• shuttle;
• compartment where the shuttle is located;
• shuttle movement mechanism;
• spool cap.

It is worth walking with a brush even where there seems to be no dirt. Just a few invisible, almost particles of dust are enough to spoil the quality of the lubricant. In manual typewriters, it is traditionally advised to add the rotating parts of the handle. In the foot - the movable elements of the pedal.

After installing the case back it is necessary to immediately assess whether everything is correctly delivered and whether it is well fixed... The test is very simple: several test lines are sewn in idle mode. This will properly distribute the lubricant and get rid of excess in some places.

New sewing machines are lubricated every 6 months. Starting from the 3rd year of operation, this must be done every 3 months. But you also need to focus on emerging noises, on difficulties in work; sometimes both forces the use of the lubricant before the deadline.

DEven if your Jaguar sewing machine is well oiled, it still needs to be properly set up. The first step is to screw on the spring to press down on the thread. At the same time, make sure that the cap prevents the spool from untwisting. Rather, it can unwind, but only with a sharp pull up. The next step is to pass the upper thread through the feeding system.

It is very important to make the right decision every time exactly how to pull the thread. The machine will sew smoothly and beautifully only when the threads are intertwined. Their tension can only be adjusted with a special mechanism (top) and a shuttle adjusting screw (bottom). Dangling loops will be eliminated by pulling up or loosening the top adjuster.

The adjustment of the presser foot pressure in the latest models is automatic. But sometimes it is necessary to use manual adjustment. For sewing on thick fabrics, raise the foot as high as possible.If the seam does not go well, check to see if the foot is too loose. Additionally, you will have to adjust the needle piercing force and sewing speed.

The more difficult the manipulation, the slower the machine must run. To affect the length of the stitches, loosen the nut on the handle. After the lever has been moved, its handle is again fixed with a nut. When planning to bartack, the lever is lowered below the zero position and reverse stitching is performed.

But there are other relevant points in the instruction manual. It prescribes to disconnect the device from the network during a long pause in work. When the break occurs automatically due to the thread hitting the shuttle, the pause will take 20-30 seconds. You can resume work in 3 minutes. To do this, press the switch again.

You can remove the drawer for accessories by sliding it to the left. When it returns to its place, the table is moved in the opposite direction, achieving the entry of the pins into the holes. Open the box by pushing the lid up and back. The Jaguar Mini sewing machine contains many plastic parts.
