Installation

I(:\ Machine installation should only be carried out by a \..Y qualified technician.

0	Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified electrician
	for any electrical work that may need to be done.
A	The sewing machine weighs approximately 56 kg.
V	The installation should be carried out by two or more
	people.

f(;'\Do not connect the power cord until installation is \..Y complete, otherwise the machine may operate if the foot switch is depressed by mistake, which could

result in injury.

A 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.

0 All cords should be secured at least 25 mm away

from any moving parts. Furthermore, do not t<::"\ excessively bend the cords or secure them too firmly

\..Y with staples, otherwise there is the danger that fire or electric shocks could occur.

A Install the safety covers to the machine head and V motor.

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

move.

t<::"\ Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when \..Y 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.

A CAUTION

Sewing

tC'\ This sewing machine should only be used by \Y operators who have received the necessary training

in safe use beforehand.

tC'\ The sewing machine should not be used for any \Y applications other than sewing.

0 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.

A Tuin off the power switch at the following times,

~otherwise the machine may operate if the foot switch is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

•When threading the needle

•When replacing the needle and bobbin

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

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

move.

A Attach all safety devices before using the sewing L.:!:::l. machine. If the machine is used without these

'devices attached, injury may result.

A Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any L.:!:::l. objects against the machine while sewing, as this

may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.

If an error occurs in machine operation, or if abnormal 0 noises or smells are noticed, immediately tum off the power switch. Then contact your nearest Brother

A If the power switch needs to be left on when carrying L.:!:::l. out some adjustment, be extremely careful to observe

all safety precautions.

A 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.

0	Use only the proper replacement parts as specified
	by Brother.
