An overlock requires more frequent maintenance than a conventional sewing machine since a lot of lint is produced when the cutters are cutting the fabric. With a forward brushing movement, use the lint brush to remove any lint. We recommend lubricating after every 24 hours of use. Use sewing machine oil. Do not use any other oil.
