This you can easily do yourself. Since your Pfaff sewing machine has been rt made from the finest quality materials, the only part that has to be oiled occasionally is the sewing hook. Therefore, remove the bobbin case and put a drop of oil into the hook raceway every so often. You need no expert either for cleaning the parts in the machine arm and in the vicinity of the sewing hook. You can do this yourself with the aid of the small soft brush included in the accessory kit. Remove the needle, the bobbin case and the sewing foot. Remove the lint that accumulates in the vicinity of the machine feed with a soft brush. To do this. remove the needle plate and drop the machine feed. The needle plate of the Pfaff 1211 is simply pulled forward and lifted up (see arrow in ill. at top right). The needle plate of the Pfaff 1212 must be unscrewed with the screwdriver included in the accessories. Take care that no lint accumulates between the teeth of the machine feed. Accumulations of packed lint are best removed with a toothpiCk or a similar wooden object. 59
