That one is a little different but it does zigzag and has a similar slider. I think you are correct. I will keep looking for places to lubricate the machine. ...
That is a clearer manual than the one I found. Yes, a little different - the bobbin is in front rather than the side. But the oiling places are probably easier to see.

I'm still learning how these things work. XD
Thank you for letting us know what it was. Glad that got figured out. I wondered about that. I was concentrating on some other things.
