Proper lubrication is a crucial aspect of machine care that can significantly extend its lifespan. By following these steps regularly and storing your machine correctly, you'll enjoy seamless tufting for the long term.
**Step 1: Gather Your Supplies** Before you start, make sure you have all the necessary supplies ready. You'll need: - 3-in-One lubrication oil (or similar machine oil) - A lint-free cloth and a small new paint brush - Your tufting machine's manual for reference (if available)
**Step 2: Prepare Your Workspace** Ensure you're working in a clean and well-ventilated area. Clear any debris or dust from the machine to prevent contamination during the lubrication process.
**Step 3: Identify the Lubrication Points** In Geoff's video, he demonstrates the specific areas of the tufting machine that require lubrication.
**Step 4: Apply Lubrication** With your lubrication points identified, carefully apply a few drops of 3-in-One oil to each location. Be mindful not to over-lubricate, as excess oil can attract dust and debris.
**Step 5: Operate the Machine** After lubricating the necessary parts, run the tufting machine for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly. This will help ensure that all moving components benefit from the lubrication.
**Step 6: Clean Excess Oil** Use a lint-free cloth or a small brush to wipe away any excess oil. This step helps prevent oil buildup, which can lead to problems down the line.
**Step 7: Store Your Machine Properly** Refer to our "How to Store Your Tufting Machine" blog post for detailed instructions on storing your machine to keep it in optimal condition between use.
