    I don't use it. My dealer stressed not to so I don't.

    I have used canned air and computer vacuums and have no problem with either one.

    Have any of you thought about using a vacuum? Works the opposite of canned air and sucks out the lint...

    Thanks so much for the photos. As an occasional sewing instructor I am glad to pass on this tidbit to my students.

    I had to laugh at the statement that no owner can get to or should get to. I can take the housing off every machine I have, even my computerized one. Top and bottom. If you can use a screwdriver you can take the housing off. Once you get the housing off you can use the canned air. The only part I do not take off is the turning wheel. It is too complicated to get put back right because of the clutch.

    I've always known NOT to blow the lint out, so common sense would tell you that canned air blows too!
