INDUSTRIAL SEWING MACHINE MAINTENANCE TIPS

Introduction

As a professional seamstress, it’s important to keep your machine in good shape. You can always count on your sewing machine to get the job done, but if you don’t take care of it, your machine won’t work as well and may even break down completely. Here are some tips on how to keep your sewing machine in good working order:

CLEANING THE MACHINE AFTER EACH DAY.

• Use a damp cloth to wipe the machine. This will remove dust and dirt from the machine, which is easy to do because it should be cleaned after each use.
• Use compressed air to clean the machine. If there is any dust that cannot be removed with a damp cloth, you can use compressed air to blow off any remaining dirt or grit that may have gotten stuck around the parts of your sewing machine.

GREASING MECHANICAL LINKS.

Grease is a lubricant that consists of a solid substance that is thick at room temperature and becomes liquid when heated. Grease is used to reduce friction and wear between moving parts. It also helps prevent corrosion, which can cause damage or failure of metal parts like bearings.

When it comes to sewing machine maintenance, one thing you should do regularly is grease the machine’s mechanical links. These are metal rods that connect two components together in order to transmit power from one part of the machine to another (for example, an arm connected by a link could move up and down). They need regular greasing because dust particles can get stuck on them over time which makes them more likely not only fail but also catch fire!

LUBRICATING THE HOOK RACE.

To lubricate the hook race, use a small amount of oil. Do not over oil; you don’t want any excess fluid to get into your machine and cause problems with operation or performance. Clean off any excess oil and reassemble the hook race. This is an important step because if you over-lubricate your machine, it could create unnecessary friction between moving parts which will slow down or stop your sewing machine entirely!

How often should I lubricate my hook race?

Lubrication of a hook race should be done at least once every six months and more often as needed (for example, if you notice that you are having trouble inserting needles into your machine).

CLEANING AND OILING THE THREAD TAKE-UP LEVER AND BREATHER.

The thread take-up lever and breather are exposed to dirt and lint from the sewing machine. The following is how to clean these parts:

• Use a clean cloth with an oil or grease to clean the surface of the thread take-up lever and breather. You can also use a brush to remove dirt from these parts if you don’t have any lubricating oil or grease at hand.
• Use a brush with lubricating oil or grease on it to rub over all surfaces of the thread take-up levers and brearers

LUBRICATING THE THREAD STAND.

• Lubricating the thread stand:
• The thread stand is a small cylinder located on top of your industrial sewing machine. It holds the bobbin and transfers it to feeder mechanism when you turn the handwheel to wind thread onto it. Oil should be applied to this part every time you change out your needle or replace any parts in your machine’s tension system.
• To lubricate, remove all needles from their holders and then apply oil with a clean cloth or cotton swab to each hole in which they were mounted before reinstalling them. Do not overfill these holes; just use enough so that they are fully coated but don’t drip down onto surrounding components, which could damage them as well!

LUBRICATING THE STITCH FORMING MECHANISM.

• To lubricate the stitch forming mechanism, apply sewing machine oil to a cotton swab and gently rub it over the stitch forming mechanism.
• If you are using a rotary hook machine, check for any damage or missing parts on your machine before oiling it. This may include checking for broken hooks and needles, worn out pressers (if applicable), loose pulleys or other components that could cause injury to you while operating your industrial sewing machine repair service business if they fail while in use.
• Always wipe off excess oil from your stitches after lubricating them with sewing machine oils or greases – never leave oil residue on any part of an industrial sewing machines’ internal mechanisms as this will attract dirt which can lead to problems later down the road when trying to maintain optimal performance levels in all areas where

LUBRICATING THE PRESSER FOOT BAR SCREW AND PRESSER BAR SCREW.

The presser foot bar screw is used to adjust the height of your sewing machine needle. The presser bar screw is used to lower or raise the position of your needle.

Lubricating these two screws will help ensure that you can easily change their settings when required.

You should use a light oil for lubricating these bolts, such as sewing machine oil or WD-40, since they are made of steel and may rust if not properly oiled.

ADJUSTING BOBBIN WINDER TENSION.

The bobbin winder tension should be adjusted so that the thread winds evenly onto the spool. The correct tension is achieved when, on the left side of the bobbin case, there is a slight indentation in the tape that indicates an approximately equal number of turns around both sides. This will also ensure that a reasonable amount of thread has been wound onto each side of its respective drum.

The correct level of tension can only be achieved if all other factors affecting winding efficiency are taken into account: type and condition of thread being used; type and condition of bobbins available; quality control measures put in place to ensure that both sides have equal amounts wound onto them before winding begins (i.e., making sure you’re using good-quality bobbins).

EVERYDAY MAINTENANCE OF YOUR SEWING MACHINE WILL RESULT IN A LONG LASTING SEWING PRODUCT

Every day, your sewing machine must be serviced for a long-lasting and reliable product.

• Every day, lubrication of all moving parts is essential. A common misconception about sewing machines is that they do not require lubrication. Many people think that because the machine moves so fast, it does not need to be lubricated as often as other machinery would need servicing. This is not true! It is important to keep your sewing machine running smoothly by using appropriate oil or grease on all parts of the device that move frequently throughout its working cycle.
• Every day, cleaning of areas such as bobbins, thread guides and tension discs/arms are necessary in order to maintain optimal performance from your machine (and make sure it doesn’t break down). If you have any questions about how often these should be cleaned; consult with an expert technician before starting any maintenance process yourself!

Conclusion

With the right tools, maintenance and cleaning can be done in a short amount of time. As a matter of fact, most of these tasks only take a few minutes at most. The key to maintaining your machine is doing it regularly and not waiting until something breaks or starts malfunctioning before taking action.
