INSTRUCTION MANUAL
Thank you very much for purchasing the Brother Industrial Sewing Machine.
Please read this "Programmer Instruction Manual" and the separate volume "Programmable Electronic
Pattern Sewer Instruction Manual" carefully before using the machine.
Operation of this industrial sewing machine is usually carried out in front of moving parts such as the
needle and the needle thread take-up. These parts may cause personal injuries. Please follow the
operational and safety instructions by the experts/instructors and use this machine correctly.

Handling of floppy disk
Do not force open the shutter for direct
contact with the magnetic area.
Do not store floppy disks in an extremely high
or low ambient temperature.
Do not bring disks near magnetic matters such as magnetic screwdriver or the
back side of the programmer.
Do not use floppy disks under high humidity.
Do not use or store floppy disks in a dusty
place.
Do not bend the disk. Do not put things on
the disk.
Do not store floppy disks under direct sunlight.
Avoid contact with solvent or drink.
Do not remove the disk out of the drive during
the access lamp is lit.

Programmer
Chapter 1 Preparations of operation
Protecting data in floppy disks
Write-protection is available for a floppy disk to prevent undesired data deletion.
A write-protected disk is read-only. It is recommended to provide write-protection for disks
which contain important data.
To do so, slide the write-protect notch to open the slot as shown below.
Slide the notch in this direction to prevent data loss or overwriting.
Slide the notch in this direction to write data.
Setting a Floppy Disk to the Floppy Disk Drive
Insert a floppy disk straight into the slot. The label side of the disk must face the front.
Press the eject switch to remove the disk out of the drive.
Do not press the eject switch during the access lamp is lit. This may lead to data corruption.

Notes for programming
Pattern sheet
Use thin plotting paper or prepare copies of pattern sheet.
The pattern sheet is designed in the original scale. Adjust the size to magnification (2,
5, or 10) for magnified input.
Stitch length
Setting range between 0.3 and 12.7 mm is available.
Stitch count
Maximum available count is 20,000.
