You Need To Clean Aerosol Can Making Machine In Correct Steps

2020-07-30

1. Take the Machine Apart

First, unplug your Aerosol Can Making Machine. Take out the bobbin casing, lower the race cover and remove the hook. Take off the presser foot and throat plate.

2. Grab a Brush

Brush out any lint that's built up in the bobbin casing and throat plate.

Pro Tip
Most machines come with a small plastic brush, though any anti-static brush or pipe cleaner will work. (You can usually find them at office supply stores.) Skip canned air though: it can invalidate your machine's warranty and push lint further into the machine.

3. Oil the Machine

Check your manual for detailed instructions on if, when and how to oil your machine. (Some are self-lubricating, so if that's the case you can — and should! — skip this step.)

Pro Tip
A little oil goes a long way and yes, it's totally possible to over-oil your machine. If that's happened, run some muslin or scrap fabric through the machine until it comes out clean and without oil stains.

4. Reassemble the Machine

Place the hook, bobbin casing and throat plate back in their respective places. Change your needle and reattach the presser foot. Replace the bobbin, thread your machine and you're ready to sew!
