Even if the machine itself does not need oil -

Pfaff class used to tell us to put a dab of oil on the needle holder and on the spindle for the bobbin. Not the machine.

Juki America has some manuals (including 2010) on the legacy page, and says that current manuals can be found on the machine's page. You would need to look up the F600 and try to find the manual there.

Thanks Weezy for your info but I do have the manual. There's just nothing in there about oiling or burnt out light bulbs or the kind of bobbins you need which I find frustrating!

That manual is over 100 pages!

I don't think you will find much but there are some reference manuals for the Juki F series on the bottom of the pages.
Sort of look like repair manuals.

The heading is "Related Manuals for Juki F series."

The 2010 does have a repair manual as it is not electronic.

I came across this posting that might be helpful.

That was a very helpful post and I tried it. I put a couple drops of sewing machine oil where the picture showed. I was having an issue with the bobbin area vibrating and it is sewing great now!!! Thanks So Much Katier825!

When I bought my F600, I ask for bobbins and he sold me a pack of Brother bobbins. I can't tell those from the originals that came with the machine except for a slight color difference.

Canned air shouldn't be used to clean out a sewing machine. You're actually blowing lint further into the machine. Especially bad for a machine with any electronics in it. Much better to get one of those sets of mini vacuum attachments and suck the lint out.

Actually, it's the propellant in canned air that causes the problem. Repair people blow the machines out using a heavy duty compressor.

I use a bulb blower made to clean the CMOS screen in digital SLRs once a week with brushing, then the vac and the suction tools once a month. It's strong enough to blow the lint out of where the brush won't go.

The best hint I've found is use a pipecleaner instead of the brush.

Pipe cleaners are a good thing to use. I also use the little dental brush thingies meant for cleaning braces.

I have a Juki 85. I don't need oil, but I need some sort of washers in my bobbin case to keep the dang bobbin from jumping up and down and playing jingle bells. Every time I start sewing I the ding a lings make me think I'm going to break a needle. I've seen washers for bobbins. Are they made from metal, plastic, or felt, anyone know? Sylvia
