CAUTION

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 160 kg. Use equipment such as a crane or hoist when installing the machine head and adjusting the height of the table. If you try to lift the machine head yourself, it may cause injuries such as back injury.

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. In addition, do not subject the machine head to extra force while it is tilted back. If this is not observed, the machine head 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.

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.

Use a table with a height of 84 cm or less. If the table is too high, the machine head may become unbalanced and fall down, and serious injury or damage to the sewing machine may result.

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. If the oil and grease get into your eyes or onto your skin, inflammation can result. Furthermore, do not drink or eat the lubricating oil or grease. They may cause diarrhea or vomiting. Keep the oil out of the reach of children.

Sewing

To prevent problems, do not use objects with sharp points to operate the LCD panel.

This sewing machine should only be used by operators who have received the necessary training in safe use beforehand.

The sewing machine should not be used for any applications other than sewing.

3-18. Lubrication

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.

CAUTION

・ 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 N10; 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 oil tank and the bed oil tank with oil. NOTE:

Be sure to add more oil when the oil level drops down to about one-third full in the oil gauge window (1). If the oil drops below the one-third full level in the oil gauge window (1), there is the danger that the sewing machine may seize during operation.

2. Pour oil in through the two holes of the shuttle race base assembly so that the felt (2) is lightly moistened. If it is difficult to add oil, you can also remove the rubber cap (3) and pour in the oil through the hole.

NOTE:

3. If using the needle cooler (4), fill it with silicon oil (100 mm2/s). (Refer to "4-3. Threading the upper thread" for details on using the needle cooler (4).)
