WARNING

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.

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 90 kg. The installation should be carried out by two or more people.

Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete. If the foot switch is depressed by mistake, the sewing machine might start operating and injury could result.

Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting it back or returning it to its original position. Furthermore, do not apply excessive force when tilting back the machine head. The sewing machine may become unbalanced and fall down, and serious injury or damage to the sewing machine may result.

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.

The pneumatic delivery capability should be greater than the requirements for the sewing machine's total air consumption. Insufficient pneumatic delivery capability 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.

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.

3. INSTALLATION

3-15. Lubrication

CAUTION

Do not connect the power cord until lubrication is complete. If the foot switch is depressed by mistake, the sewing machine might start operating and injury could result.

The sewing machine should always be lubricated and the oil supply replenished before it is used for the first time, and also after long periods of non-use. Use only the lubricating oil <JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation Sewing Lube 10N; VG10> specified by Brother.

* If this type of lubricating oil is difficult to obtain, the recommended oil to use is <Exxon Mobil Essotex SM10; VG10>.

1. Fill the arm-side oil tank with oil.

2. Move the work clamp arm (1) as far as it will go to the right when looking from the front of the sewing machine, and then slide the outer cover L (2) into the inner cover L (3) so that the lubrication hole in the bed is visible. Pour oil into the bed side oil tank through this hole.

NOTE:

Be sure to fill the machine with oil when the oil level drops below the one-third level in the oil sight glasses (4) or (5). If the oil level drops below the one-third level in the oil sight glasses (4) or (5), there is the danger that the sewing machine may seize during operation.
