INSTRUCTION MANUAL

Please read this manual before using the machine.

Please keep this manual within easy reach for quick reference.

BAS-300E Series

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.

Chapter 1 Preparations of operation

Handling of floppy disk

Do not force open the shutter for direct contact with the magnetic area.

Do not bring disks near magnetic matters such as magnetic screwdriver or the back side of the programmer.

Do not store floppy disks in an extremely high or low ambient temperature.

Do not use floppy disks under high humidity.

Do not use or store floppy disks in a dusty place.

Do not store floppy disks under direct sunlight.

Do not bend the disk. Do not put things on the disk.

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.
