2. THE TREADLE. To enable the trt-adle to be worked. without
injury to the machine, first raise the prcssur foot and disconnect the upper
whcr-I from the machine and allow it to revolve loosely on the shaft.
[t is very essential to work the trcadle steadily; therefor: it will be
well to practise and thoroughly accustom the feet to its in ition prior to
working the machine.
If the machine is worked without any fabric being used. the presscr
/,. i'oot should always be lifted by the lever (l9‘l, as shown in illustration, to
prevent injury to the teeth ol' the feeder (ill).
After having learnt to work the trcndlc, take a piece of shirting, putVfivww it under the prcsscr foot, fastrn tho uppcr wheel and work the machine,
wit/mm liar/”y Il/n'm/nl {ln- ”mi/z, so as to learn to guide the fabric. Try

To remove the work, raise the needle to its highest point,
presacr-ftmt by which means the tension will be disconnected autom-
and draw the fabric with the left hand from the left side upwards -
three inches, then cut both threads.
It in removing the work the lower thread breaks, take out the shuttle,
draw out some thread and liroceed again as above described.
It may be athanlagcous here to describe the manner in which the
stitches ate produced by this machine:
The needle passing through the fabric leads part ol the upper thread
below the needle-plate. In rising. it forms a small loop in the thread which
is caught and spread by the point of the shuttle passing the needle. This
loop, through which the lower thread is carried by the shllttlt:, is then taken
up by the thread-lewr. and tightened by the formation ut the next stitch.
13. TO CLEAN AND OlL THE MACHINE. If you constantly
Use the machine. it should be cleaned twice a day and well oiled. Before
oiling. raise the presser-foot, rtfnttltt‘ the shuttle, and hating oiled, run the
machine rapidly a minute, then wipe off all superfluous oil with a piece of
rag. lie sure. that every part is clean, before commencing to st u.
There are nine small holes made for oiling. one in the front of the
face plate mar the needle-liar 12), three on the top of the arm. one atcach
end ofthc shatt and one near the spool-pin, two at the base of the arm (near
the trade mark) and tl‘rt t: near the throat-plate l'T-Bi. To oil the crank which
