Be sure to observe the precautions described in the labels.

Label locations

Please put a drop of oil onto the hook once a day before use.

Machine Structure and Features

■Three-dimensional materials can be embroidered

Since the embroidering surface is a cylindrical arm, three-dimensional or tubular materials such as bags and T-shirts can easily be positioned in order to sew beautiful embroidery.

1Cylindrical arm

■Embroider while replacing the thread spool a minimal number of times

Before starting to embroider, touch the thread color

sorting key () to rearrange the embroidery order and sort it by thread colors. For example, when embroidering after simply arranging the same pattern to be repeated side-by-side, you will need to replace the thread spool multiple times with each pattern. However, by using the thread color sorting function, the thread color order will be rearranged to embroider the same color at one time, allowing you to embroider while replacing the thread spool a minimal number of times.

The thread color sorting function cannot be used with overlapping patterns.

■Insert line feeds in character patterns

While entering character embroidery patterns, touch the line feed key () to arrange the following characters on the next line.

You can check the entered characters easily by touching .

■Four thread spools can be prepared for embroidering

Up to four thread spools can be prepared on a spool stand for the next color change. By hooking the thread on the thread cutter/holder, the thread can be smoothly replaced with that of the next color.

1 Thread cutter holders

2 Spool stand

■ Embroidery positioning marker

The needle drop position can be easily found with the LED pointer.

1Needle drop position

■Safety mechanism

The machine is equipped with a locking mechanism that helps prevent injuries from accidental operation. The machine can only be started after the machine is unlocked. The color of the “Start/Stop” button changes to inform you of whether or not the machine is locked.

		started.

■ Automatic threading mechanism

Using the automatic threading mechanism, the needle can easily be threaded.

■ Available embroidery area

Designs with a maximum size of 200 mm (H) × 200 mm (W) (7-7/8 inches (H) × 7-7/8 inches (W)) can be embroidered. When the optional sized frames are used, you may select from many additional styles and sizes of embroidery projects.

■ Various built-in patterns

In addition to the many built-in character patterns, embroidery patterns and frame patterns, using optional embroidery cards greatly expands the machine’s pattern library.

■ Embroidery pattern editing

Lettering and embroidery patterns can be combined or a text arrangement can be placed within an embroidery grouping.

Operating Precautions

The necessary points to ensure the correct operation of this machine are described below.

Power supply precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the power supply.

WARNING

•Use only regular household electricity for the power source. Using other power sources may result in fire, electric shock, or damage to the machine.

•Make sure that the plugs on the power supply cord are firmly inserted into the electrical outlet and the power supply cord receptacle on the machine. Otherwise, a fire or electrical shock may result.

•Do not insert the plug on the power supply cord into an electrical outlet that is in poor condition.

•If any of the following occur, turn off the embroidery machine and unplug the power supply cord, otherwise a fire, an electric shock or damage to the machine may result.

•When you are away from the machine.

•After using the machine.

•If a power outage occurs while the machine is being operated.

•If the machine is not operating properly, for example, when there is a loose or cut connection.

•During electrical storms.

CAUTION

•Use only the power supply cord included with this machine.

•Do not plug this machine in with extension cords or multi-plug adapters with many other appliances plugged into them, otherwise a fire or an electric shock may result.

•Do not plug in or unplug the power supply cord with wet hands, otherwise an electric shock may result.

•When unplugging the power supply cord, be sure to first turn off the machine, and then grasp the plug when unplugging the cord. Pulling on the cord may damage it or result in a fire or an electric shock.

•Do not allow the power supply cord to be cut, damaged, modified, forcefully bent, pulled, twisted, or bundled. In addition, do not place heavy objects on the cord or expose it to heat, otherwise damage to the cord, fire or an electric shock may result. If the power supply cord or its plug is damaged, stop using the machine, and then take the machine to your authorized Brother dealer for repairs before continuing use.

•If the machine is not to be used for a long period of time, unplug the power supply cord, otherwise a fire may result.

•When leaving the machine unattended, either the main switch of the machine should be turned to OFF or the plug must be removed from the socket-outlet.

•When servicing the machine or when removing covers, the machine must be unplugged.

•For U.S.A only

This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade wider than the other). To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this plug is intended to fit in a polarized outlet only one way.

If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not modify the plug in any way.

EMBROIDERING TUTORIAL

Needle precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the correct choice of needle for your machine.

CAUTION

• Your machine is designed to use household embroidery needles. The factory recommended needle is “HAX 2 130 EBBR” (Organ). Schmetz needles 130/705 H-E may be used as a substitute. Use of any other needles

may break the needle or thread or damage the needle-threading mechanism or result in injuries.

• Never use bent needles. Bent needles can easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.

Checking the needle

Embroidering with a bent needle is extremely dangerous since the needle may break while the machine is operating.

Place the flat side of the needle on a flat surface and check that the distance between the needle and the flat surface is even. If the needle is bent or the tip of the needle is broken, replace the needle with a new one. (Refer to “Changing the Needle” on page 72.)

■ Good needle

■ Bad needle

If the distance between the needle

and the flat surface is not even, the

needle is bent. Do not use a bent

needle.

2	Needle type marking

Bobbin precautions

Be sure to observe the following precautions concerning the bobbin.

CAUTION

•Only use prewound bobbin (COATS “L” type/TRU-SEW POLYESTER “Filaments”) or bobbins designed specifically for this machine. Use of any other bobbin may result in injuries or damage to the machine.

•Use a bobbin thread that has been correctly wound, otherwise the needle may break or the thread tension will be incorrect.

COATS

Polyester

Upper thread recommendations

Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the upper thread.

Note

•It is recommended that rayon or polyester embroidery thread be used (120 den × 2 / 135 dtex × 2 / 40 weight (in Americas and Europe) / #50 (in Japan)).

Fabric recommendations

Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the fabric.

Note

•Your machine can embroider fabric that is up to 1 mm (1/16 inch) thick. If thicker fabric is sewn, the needle may bend or break.

•When embroidering overlapping stitches, it is difficult for the needle to penetrate the fabric, possibly resulting in the needle bending or breaking.

•Attach stabilizers to thin or stretch fabrics. (Refer to “Attaching Iron-On Stabilizer (Backing) to Fabric” on page 76 for information.)

•When embroidering large pieces of fabric, make sure that the fabric is not caught in the carriage.

Display recommendations

Be sure to observe the following recommendations concerning the use of the operation panel display.

Note

•Only touch the display with your finger or included touch pen. Do not use a mechanical pencil, screwdriver or any other hard or sharp object. In addition, do not apply extreme pressure to the display screen, otherwise damage to the display screen may result.
