Joe, I have no idea what i'm doing, mechanically. You aren't sticking your nose in at all--thank you! I actually ordered another bottle of triFlow from Sew Classic this morning, along with a tube of grease. It's great, and thank you for speaking up Mary Ann

Wow! $50 and a table. And fiddlies? You did extremely well. One knob pulls out and one pushes in. I'm not in front of my 401 now, but I think it is the one with the indicator on the left that pulls out and the other pushes in. Enjoy!

I'll share my secret with you. I work on a lot of previously unloved machines and many are seized or reluctant. I use Tri-Flow SPRAY and then let it sit. It's not a pressurized spray. You don't need that much. It works every time!

How do you contain the spray? I hate cleaning up after something sprayed in a machine. Just dropping the T-F in works real well for me.

The Tri-Flow spray that I've got came with one of those little straws....that keeps it from spraying all over.

I guess I've never needed more than the squeeze bottle with the plastic straw.

I get close and don't use much. I've never had a problem with overspraying. I do cover the table with newspapers, but have never really needed to for tri-flow. What's left over in the machine will drip out. Like I said, don't use much. Get the spray in the black plastic bottle with the trigger sprayer. Tri-Flow smells good and I don't think it's toxic.

I find that bottle is nowhere near as helpful.

The black plastic bottle is the size of a large windex bottle. You have to search for it. I think I got it on e-bay some time ago. It lasts a long time.
