The only exception is if you know the machine has not been used in years, in which case put one drop of oil in and then put in the lubricant. From then on, only use the lubricant" I can tell you that the book has excellent diagrams, and I feel reasonably confident now that I will be able to maintain my 'new' Featherweight, so I reccommend it - AND he signed it for me too!
