Thank you very much for buying a BROTHER sewing machine. Before using your new machine, please read the safety instructions below and the explanations given in the instruction manual.

With industrial sewing machines, it is normal to carry out work while positioned directly in front of moving parts such as the needle and thread take-up lever, and consequently there is always a danger of injury that can be caused by these parts. Follow the instructions from training personnel and instructors regarding safe and correct operation before operating the machine so that you will know how to use it correctly.

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

1. Safety indications and their meanings

This instruction manual and the indications and symbols that are used on the machine itself are provided in order to ensure safe operation of this machine and to prevent accidents and injury to yourself or other people.

The meanings of these indications and symbols are given below.

Indications

DANGER The instructions which follow this term indicate situations where failure to follow the instructions will result in death or serious injury.

The instructions which follow this term indicate situations where failure to follow the CAUTION instructions could cause injury when using the machine or physical damage to equipment

and surroundings.

Symbols

This symbol ( ) indicates something that you should be careful of. The picture inside the triangle indicates the nature of the caution that must be taken.

(For example, the symbol at left means “beware of injury”.)

This symbol ( ) indicates something that you must not do.

This symbol ( ) indicates something that you must do. The picture inside the circle indicates the nature of the thing that must be done.

(For example, the symbol at left means “you must make the ground connection”.)

2. Notes on safety

DANGER

Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the power switch and disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet before opening the face plate of the control box. Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in severe injury.

CAUTION

Environmental requirements

Use the sewing machine in an area which is free from sources of strong electrical noise such as electrical line noise or static electric noise.

Sources of strong electrical noise may cause problems with correct operation.

Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage should be within ±10% of the rated voltage for the machine. Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this may cause problems with correct operation.

The power supply capacity should be greater than the requirements for the sewing machine’s power consumption.

Insufficient power supply capacity may cause problems with correct operation.

The ambient temperature should be within the range of 5°C to 35°C during use.

Temperatures which are lower or higher than this may cause problems with correct operation.

The relative humidity should be within the range of 45% to 85% during use, and no dew formation should occur in any devices.

Excessively dry or humid environments and dew formation may cause problems with correct operation.

In the event of an electrical storm, turn off the power and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet. Lightning may cause problems with correct operation.

Installation

Machine installation should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified electrician for any electrical work that may need to be done.

The sewing machine weighs approximately 56 kg. The installation should be carried out by two or more people.

Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete, otherwise the machine may operate if the foot switch is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting it back or returning it to its original position. Furthermore, after tilting back the machine head, do not push the face plate side or the pulley side from above, as this could cause the machine head to topple over, which may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground connection is not secure, you run a high risk of receiving a serious electric shock, and problems with correct operation may also occur.

All cords should be secured at least 25 mm away from any moving parts. Furthermore, do not excessively bend the cords or secure them too firmly with staples, otherwise there is the danger that fire or electric shocks could occur.

Install the safety covers to the machine head and motor.

If using a work table which has casters, the casters should be secured in such a way so that they cannot move.

Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil and grease, so that they do not get into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result.

Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.

Keep the oil out of the reach of children.

If you want to sew a pattern other than standard patterns, you can create your original pattern using the PS-3000. Consult with your local Brother sales Office for details.

Note when creating additional data (program nos. 200 - 999)

When sewing data with a small number of stitches (15 stitches or less) is sewn repeatedly (short cycle operation), the upper shaft motor may overheat and the “E150” error code may be generated.

The programs shown below have been preset into the sewing machine. Any program is available as long as the needle drops down in the hole of the button.

When sewing programs that do not have crossover stitches, the thread is trimmed after sewing of one side is completed, and then the other side is sewn.

3-1. Table processing diagram

The thickness of the table should be at least 40 mm, and it should be strong enough to bear the weight and vibration of the sewing machine.

If the distance A between the insides of the legs is less than 740 mm, move the control box installation position to the left (B = 254 mm).

Check that the control box is at least 10 mm away from the leg. If the control box and the leg are too close together, it may result in incorrect sewing machine operation.
