Notes on safety

2
Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the power switch and disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet
before opening the face plate of the control box. Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in
severe injury.
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
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 65 kg.
(311F-0), 70 kg (311F-L, 326 F-0) 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 foot switch is depressed by mistake, which
could result in injury.
Hold the machine head with both hands by two or
more people 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.

DANGER
CAUTION
Environmental requirements
10% of the rated voltage for
Installation
BAS-311F-0, 311F-L, 326F-0
The ambient temperature should be within the
range of 5 to 35 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.
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 cover and the frame side cover 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 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.
Furthermore, do not
