MCI
*Keep sterilants away from all moving and electrical components!
-sterilants are corrosive and will damage your machine if used carelessly.
*Operating range: 3-6.5 volts
*Please note that this machine is very effective at low volts/speeds.
*My preferred voltage for shading with the MCi is 4.5-5 volts.
*Polarity isn’t crucial, but the machine will run more efficiently with positive down.
*The impact screw can be backed off, but ideal to still have a minute impact to reduce motor shaft strain.
*Turning the impact screw in too much will result in stalling the machine or putting too much strain on the motor. Ideal impact is about 1/4-1/2 turn clockwise from the point of zero impact.
*This machine is cartridge friendly, but best to use lower tension cartridges if going that route.
*Please refer to the MCi setup video on my YouTube channel for further clarification.
*After a few years, the bearings may dry up. You may use A SINGLE DROP of sewing machine oil on the bearings. DO NOT FILL THE MOTOR WITH OIL!!!
*Enjoy your machine!
