Notes on the motorNOTAS SOBRE ELMOTOR The normal operating speed of this sewing ma- La velocidad normal de funcionamiento de estachine is 1,300 stitches per minute, which is quitefast compared to the normal operating speed of300 to 800 stitches per minute for the ordinaryfoot-operated sewing machine. The bearings in the motor are made of a specialsintered, oil-impregnated alloy mounted in oilsoaked felt to withstand long hours of continuousoperation. Continuous operation of the sewing machine cancause heat to build in the motor area, but notenough to adversely affect its performance.It is important to keep fabric and paper away fromthe ventilating holes on the back and sides of themachine so air can get to these holes. When the motor is running, sparks can be seenthrough the ventilating hole in the motor bracketon the side opposite the hand wheel. Thesesparks are produced by the carbon brushes andthe commutator, and are part of the machinesnormal operation.máquina de coser es de 1.300 puntadas porminuto, lo que resulta bastante rápido comparado con la velocidad normal de 300 a 800 puntadas por minuto de las máquinas de coser normales que funcionan con pedal. Los cojinetes del motor están hechos de unaaleación especial impregnada en aceite sintéticoy montada en un fieltro impregnado en aceite,para poder funcionar continuamente durantemuchas horas. Un funcionamiento continuo de la máquina puede contribuir a calentar algo la máquina en lazona del motor, pero no lo suficiente como paraalterar su rendimiento y funcionamiento.Sin embargo, es menester mantener los orificiosde ventilación de la parte trasera y en los lados dela máquina sin tapar con tejido o papel durante eluso, para que el aire pueda circular por losorificios.
