Thank you for this video, I’m in NSW and purchased from my local dealer. He didn’t tell me any of the information you show in your videos, thank you so much.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Glad I could help. Who is your local dealer please?

I have removed all of the oil wicks from the top part where the needle bar is and put grease. Made my machine much cleaner, no contamination of my sewing area or work anymore. Working on slow speed makes the oil pump obsolete

Thanks for sharing

Thank you very much from Russia! You are the best!!! Few people show information for this car

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Thank you

I've just acquired a used H5 and this video along with the others you have are very useful. The fold out booklet that cam with it isn't much use to explain the functions etc, so I'm wondering if you know where I could get a manual for it. Looking online hasn't yielded much success so far. Thank you

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

The only manual for these machines is the little fold out page it came with, there is no manual as such like you get with a domestic machine. This is because they are usually in a manufacturing environment with trained users and technicians on site to rectify any issues. This is why we have done the videos we have.

@@ozcommercialsewingmachines Thank you, I've managed to source some extra information and I do have the leaflet that originally cam with it. Your videos have been a godsend so thank you so much for doing them. all the best

[@zenithstolemysoul]

Great video. I have this machine and no idea that any of this was necessary.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks Peter, you must be a mind reader, I was going to request this video. I have the h2-cz, fantastic machine, terrible instruction manual.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Glad that we could be of help, enjoy your lovely machine.

[@sallyrycroft4874]

Thanks for this, I wasn't aware you had to do any manual oiling.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Glad we could be of help to you :)

[@joshuajames9224]

Great, ordered a long spout lubricator.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Thanks for watching Joshua, we hope you like and learn from our videos.

[@MikkoRantalainen]

Can you use regular sewing machine oil for every moving part or do you need thicker oil for some parts?

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Regular sewing machine oil or white machine oil is fine. The jack machines use grease to lubricate the top of the walking foot mechanism, your machine would have come with a syringe of it.

[@lucindagilmour8591]

Thanks Peter, appreciate the video. I was told when I purchased by my H5, that I only needed to put oil in the sump once a month and other than that I didn’t need to do any other oiling. How often should I be doing what you just demonstrated?

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Hi Lucinda, thanks for watching. I would suggest doing this every 3 - 6 months depending on how much usage the machine is getting.

[@janerodgers4830]

Thank you for this. Very useful.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

You're very welcome!

[@lizfuller755]

Great video, Is there a way of reducing the amount of oil on the wicks at the back of machine near the raise footer bar - oil is dripping onto the flat bed!

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Hi Liz. Not really, they tend to settle down after a while from new, but if they are causing issues for a prolonged period, you can dab them with a cloth periodically, if it becomes excessive you can cut the cable ties and trim back the wicks, this part of the machine requires minimal lubrication, so if you decide to shorten the wicks, be aware you will need to manual oil these areas when necessary. Hope this helps.

[@sharonlomas3720]

I’m having the same issues.

[@farhadfadayi7389]

great video. thanks

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

You are welcome!

[@Дмитрий-х8ъ4ь]

Is it possible to lubricate machine components with paste-like lubricant?

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

No, only sewing machine oil. Grease gets put in one place at the back of the machine where instructed.

[@xolilemabuza4840]

Hi Peter, I also have a Jack H2 machine and I am having trouble with it. My stitches don't come out right, the stitche from the bobbin thread is loose or doesn't show at all on the bag. Could you please help?

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Are you able to send through a photo to the email address so we can see what is going on please?

[@Manutrail]

Thanks for this vidéo, can you explain how you change the thread cutter on a 2060 G please ? ,

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

No sorry, you will need to take it to your local technician for that.

[@ShariMason-Sewn_in_Sunshine]

Which oil in particular should i be using?!??

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

You should be using white machine oil which is the same as sewing machine oil.

[@hamzatouhami6137]

What about the area that says put solid grease. What should we put there?

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

You need to get a grease that is suitable for gears on an industrial sewing machine to put in there.

Is H5 a more powerful machine than H2 for leather work?

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

No sorry, they have exactly the same 750 watt motor powering them.

[@nauxsi]

@@ozcommercialsewingmachines thanks mate. What is theunique difference to opt for h5over h2...?

[@valerierosel2399]

Thanks for the video. You blocked a few places to oil, but very helpful anyway.

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Thank you :) It was a difficult video to do because of all the little tight places I had to get to .

[@jenniferluchetti7751]

Thanks for the video but your camera blocks sometimes

[@ozcommercialsewingmachines]

Thanks for the feedback Jen, was a difficult video to make with all the tight spaces.
