Notes On Safety - Brother HM-8180 Instruction Manual

2. Notes on safety

Use the sewing machine in an area which is free
from sources of strong electrical noise such as
high-frequency welders.
Sources of strong electrical noise may cause
problems with correct operation.
Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage
should be within ±10% of the rated voltage for the
machine.
Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The power supply capacity should be greater than
the requirements for the sewing machine's
electrical consumption.
Insufficient power supply capacity may cause
problems with correct operation.
The pneumatic delivery capability should be
greater than the requirements for the sewing
machine's total air consumption.
Insufficient pneumatic delivery capability may
cause problems with correct operation.
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 more than 40 kg. The
installation should be carried out by two or more
people.
Do not connect the power cord until installation is
complete, otherwise the machine may operate if
the treadle is depressed by mistake, which could
result in injury.
Hold the machine head with both hands when
tilting it back or returning it to its original position.
Furthermore, after tilting back the machine 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 machine.
Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground
connection is not secure, you run a high risk of
receiving a serious electric shock, and problems
with correct operation may also occur.
CAUTION
Environmental requirements
Installation
HM-8180 (English)
The ambient temperature should be within the
range of 5°C to 35°C during use.
Temperatures which are lower or higher than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The relative humidity should be within the range of
45% to 85% during use, and no dew formation
should occur in any devices.
Excessively dry or humid environments and dew
formation may cause problems with correct
operation.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight during use.
Exposure to direct sunlight may cause problems
with correct operation.
In the event of an electrical storm, turn off the
power and disconnect the power cord from the
wall outlet. Lightning may cause problems with
correct operation.
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 belt covers 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 no oil
gets into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise
inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil under any
circumstances, as it can cause vomiting and
diarrhoea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
