I don't turn mine off either. The only time I unplug my Bernina is when I go away. I just feel better knowing that it's not plugged in.

Never turn it off to clean and oil.

I do turn off to clean and oil, as well as change a needle. It's something instilled in me from many years of working on electrical equipment. Kind of a "lock out, tag out" for safety.

Me either...I don’t turn it off to do routine cleaning and a drop of oil. I do unplug my machine when I go on vacation even though it is in a surge protector.
|
No, I never turn it off or unplug it to clean and oil.

My quilt machine I clean and oil the bobbin area after every bobbin change and I don't turn it off for the same reason you stated. My sewing machine I don't turn off either when cleaning the bobbin area. Wouldn't be able to see well without using a small flashlight.

Mine would not have been turned on yet when I clean it. I have a goose neck desk light to see into the corners.

This is my procedure, too. |
Mine has the "lock" feature so the needle can't move while it's on. I use a surge protector and never think to unplug it. Is this something I should be doing? I don't turn mine off to clean, but I do use the lock.
