Oiling the Rüffler.
The
Rüffler
requires
an
occasional
oiling
of
all working parts to pre
vent
them
from
sticking.
A drop of oil at each
point
indicated
in
Fig.
100
is
sufficient.
If
possible sew on a waste
piece
of
material
after
oiling
to
prevent
your
work
from
becoming
soiled.
If
the
Ruffler
does not plait evenly, a
drop of oil may remedy
the trouble.
