Oiling the BERNINA 880/830/820
It is very important that YOU, the new owner, know how to correctly oil your Bernina 830/820 sewing machine.
Many tension problems can be avoided if the hook system receives the much needed oil on a regular bases. I know you asking me “what is on a regular bases”, and I would say every three full bobbins I would give it a drop of oil. Remember, we are sewing and embroidering faster than everyone else on the market.
Important!
1. Use ONLY the oil provided with your new sewing mach ine. Do not use the “other” oil from
your previous Bernina or something you buy someplac e else!!
2. Follow the direction precisely and your machine wil l be thankful to you.
Let’s start!
1. I recommend you to take the needle out of the machine, before you start oiling your Bernina. It
takes ten seconds to take that needle out… so just do it.
2. Open your bobbin case door. The bobbin case is swinging out.
3. Take your bobbin out.
4. Take a look at the picture below. The red arrow is pointing at the round silver screw.
DoNOT proceed until you see that screw!
5. Against everything you ever learned about how to turn you handwheel on a sewing machine, grab
your handwheel and turn it AWAY from you. You see it in the first picture below. Turn it until the
screw with the red arrow is about at 1 clock. You will hear a clicking noise while you do this,
which is perfectly normal.
6. Now turn the handwheel in the “normal” direction like you see in the picture below. As you start
turning, the hook will start to swing into the machine. Stop turning when the hook is in about an
angle of 30 degrees like you see it in the second picture. It will make it much easier for you to oil!!
7. The arrow is pointing exactly where you need to put a drop of oil.
8. Now take the bottle of oil and put the metal tip directly on the spot, (golden looking ring) and
squeeze a nice drop of oil on that ring.
9. Please read all the way to the end now! We are not done…yet!
Do not insert a bobbin now!! But rather lift up your bobbin cover slowly half way up, until the
machine starts to turn the hook in into the correct position and swing it back into the machine.
10. Now re-open the bobbin case door, load a bobbin and insert the needle.
11. You have successfully oiled your Bernina 830/820.
