Embroidery machines require daily maintenance to ensure smooth and reliable operation.
Daily maintenance includes oiling the rotary hook, checking your software for maintenance prompts, and removing any lint build-up.
Please follow the steps below to complete the daily maintenance:
Frequency:
Perform these steps daily before beginning operation, and periodically throughout the day as needed. We recommend oiling the rotary hook periodically, 2-3 times a day.
Process:
- Remove the bobbin case.
- Clean lint from under the bobbin case spring.
- Clean the trimmer area with compressed air.
- Apply one drop of oil to the hook oiling area.
- Reinsert the bobbin.
- Confirm completion in the software, if prompted.

Cleaning:
Use compressed air to remove lint and dust from the hook and trimmer area. For better access, you may need to remove the needle plate or hook guard.
Tools:
Use your operator's kit for oiling and cleaning. Purchase a can of compressed air or a compressor.
General Tips:
Check Software Prompts: It is good practice to regularly check your software for maintenance prompts, as the machine will often indicate when maintenance is due.
Preventative Care: Consistent daily maintenance helps prevent major issues, reduces thread breaks, and ensures smooth overall operation.
