Installation

Avoid setting up the sewing machine near sources of strong electrical noise such as high-frequency welding uipment.

If this precaution is not taken, incorrect machine operation may result.

CAUTION

Sewing

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

Keep children away from the sewing machine.

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

Be sure to wear protective goggles when using the machine.

If goggles are not worn, there is the danger that if a needle breaks, parts of the broken needle may enter your eyes and injury may result.

Always use the proper needle plate. Any wrong plate can cause needles to break.

Do not use a bent needle.

Attach all safety devices before using the sewing machine. If the machine is used without these devices attached, injury may result.

Do not touch any moving parts, press any objects against the machine, or pull/push the cloth during sewing. Doing so may result in personal injury, machine damage, or needle breakage.

Do not touch the pulse motor and sewing machine bed section during operation or for 30 minutes after operation. Otherwise burns may result.

Never drop or insert foreign objects or a screwdriver into the ventilation openings or the machine inside.

Touching any high-voltage area may result in an electric shock.

Never damage, alter, heat, or put a strain on the power cable as well as other cables. Doing so may result in a fire or an electric shock.

Turn off the power switch at the following times, otherwise the machine may operate if the start switch is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

•When threading the needle

•When replacing the bobbin and needle

•When not using the machine and when leaving the machine unattended

•When cleaning the machine.

Do not get on the table. Table may be damaged.

Do not operate this machine where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.

If the controller is exposed to water or a chemical agent or if its entry is found inside the controller, turn off the power switch immediately. Continuing to use the machine under such a condition may result in a fire or an electric shock.

If an error occurs in machine operation, or if abnormal noises or smells are noticed, immediately turn off the power switch. Then contact your nearest Brother dealer or a qualified technician.

If the machine develops a problem, contact your nearest Brother dealer or a qualified technician.

Cleaning

Turn off the power switch before starting any cleaning work, otherwise the machine may operate if the start switch is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil or grease, so that no oil or grease gets into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result. Furthermore, do not drink the oil or grease under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.

Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
