The tufting gun is an electric machine that needs to be oiled and cleaned as often as possible. Otherwise, your tufting gun may overheat and cause the motor to stop. In this article, we’ll help you take proper care of your tufting gun.
Care and maintenance
Lubricating the tufting gun may seem unimportant to some, but failing to lubricate your machine could shorten its lifespan.
To do this, you’ll need two accessories:
- A paintbrush or small brush
- Lubricating oil
Where should I apply oil to my tufting gun?
First, make sure to turn off your machine before carrying out the maintenance steps.
The first step in maintaining your tufting machine is to remove excess wool fibers using a paintbrush or a fine brush. We recommend doing this every time you use your machine. Otherwise, excess fibers will accumulate in the gears of the tufting gun and eventually damage the motor.
The second step is to lubricate your tufting gun with lubricating oil, which you can find at any store. We recommend using 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or clear, odorless oil. You should lubricate your tufting gun at least twice a month, and more often depending on how much you use it.
You can then turn on your machine and press the trigger to spread the oil evenly.
