Please read this manual before using the machine.

Please keep this manual within easy reach for quick reference.

Thank you very much for buying a BROTHER sewing machine. Before using your new machine, please read the safety instructions and the explanations given in the instruction manual.

With industrial sewing machines, it is normal to carry out work while positioned directly in front of moving parts such as the needle and thread take-up, and consequently there is always a danger of injury that can be caused by these parts. Follow the instructions from training personnel and instructors regarding safe and correct operation before operating the machine so that you will know how to use it correctly.

Installation

Machine installation should only be carried out by a qualified technician.

Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified electrician for any electrical work that may need to be done.

The sewing machine weighs approximately 30 kg. The installation should be carried out by two or more people.

Secure the table so that it will not move when tilting back the machine head. If the table moves, it may crush your feet or cause other injuries.

All cords should be secured at least 25 mm away from any moving parts. Furthermore, do not excessively bend the cords or secure them too firmly with staples, otherwise there is the danger that fire or electric shocks could occur.

Install the beltcovers to the machine head and motor.

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

Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil, so that it does not get into your eyes or onto your skin.

If care is not taken, inflammation can result. Furthermore, do not drink the lubricating oil. Diarrhea or vomiting may result.
