301 needs oiling
 

I know how to oil my featherweight but I can't find a manual or info on oiling my 301. Actually I prefer to use the 301 for classes, it is a workhorse. Any help will be appreciated.

I am not familiar with that machine, but IMO you can't go wrong dropping oil in any likely hole and anywhere you see two parts moving against each other. Of course not in the motor though.

You can download a manual for free from the Singer site. http://www.singerco.com/uploads/down...d14d6145d0.pdf

I have one and like Tom W says, download the manual and follow that. That's what I do.

Me, too. :)

I follow my manual religiously.

Thank you. Found it and printed it out.

I have the 221 featherweight and it needs oiling and grease. So do this often.

if it moves it needs oil ...if it has gears it needs grease. same on any machine

Could someone share with me information on what cleaning products you can use on light color 301 singer?
I have a machine that someone sewed in their kitchen and has grease build up on it. I tried a gentle bath with soap and water and the paint was removed.
