Preparation; Before Setting Up - Brother BAS-343E Instruction Manual

3. Preparation

Machine installation should only be carried out
by a qualified technician.
Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified elec-
trician for any electrical work that may need
to be done.
The sewing machine head weighs more than
200 kg. The installation should be carried out
by two or more people.
Do not connect the power cord until installa-
tion is complete, otherwise the machine may
operate if the foot switch is depressed by mis-
take, which could result in injury.
Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground
connection is not secure, you run the risk of
receiving a serious electric shock.

3-1. Before setting up

CAUTION
Hold the machine head with both hands when
tilting it back or returning it to its original posi-
tion. Furthermore, after tilting back the ma-
chine 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 ma-
chine.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves
when 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.
Avoid setting up the sewing machine near
sources of strong electrical noise such as high-
frequency welding equipment.
If this precaution is not taken, incorrect ma-
chine operation may result.
