Oiling the Rotary Hook on a Commercial Embroidery Machine

How do you oil the rotary hook on a commercial embroidery machine? Here is a training video that can help with almost any commercial embroidery machine that you have. Every machine does have it's own oiling procedure, however there are some basic oiling tips that work for every embroidery machine including Tajima, SWF, HAPPY, Melco and Toyota embroidery machines. Oiling is essential for every machine to function properly and to keep your machine in good condition. There are two main areas to oil on a regular basis: the rotary hook and the main reservoir. The recommendations below are based on actual production use of the machine. For instance, oiling the Rotary Hook is recommended for every 4 hours of production. That does not mean to oil the hook twice a day if you are NOT actively using the machine. Applying too much oil can cause problems.

Oiling the Rotary Hook
For every 4 hours of production, 1 drop of oil should be placed in the Rotary Hook.

2) Place 1 drop of oil on the bottom of the Rotary Hook, see picture below:
3) After oiling the hook and with the bobbin case still removed, press the trim button once. This will spread the oil evenly on the rotary hook.
