I have a different Brother machine but when I bought it they told me not to oil or lubricate it. I have to bring it in for service for that. There are instructions for dusting the lint out but not for oil. I used to oil and lubricate my Kenmore myself 30 years ago.
Once I downloded the manual, I realized that it doesn't show oiling points anywhere in it. Thought that it is really weird.
I also find that on the thread guide to thread the machine, while it is stitching, it comes unthreaded on 5 & 6. I find the only way to get through a design without that happening is to put my finger under #5. Really dangerous I know. But I find that my thread don't break anymore either.
This should help. If it does not work send me a PM since I have downloaded into my computer.
