responsible for any accidents or problems resulting from modifications made to the machine.
Do not handle the power cord with wet hands. Otherwise, it may cause electric shocks.
Do not set up the printer in a dusty environment. If dust collects inside the printer, it may cause fire or
electric shocks or problems with correct operation.
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.
Do not bend the cords excessively or fasten them too hard with staples or anything similar to secure
cords. Otherwise it may cause fire or electric shocks.
If a foreign object gets inside the printer, immediately turn off the power, disconnect the power
cord, and contact the place of purchase or a qualified technician. If you continue to use the
printer while there is a foreign object inside, it may result in fire or electric shocks or problems
with correct operation.
Do not allow the printer to come into contact with liquids. Otherwise it may cause fire or electric
shocks or problems with correct operation.
If any liquid gets inside the printer, immediately turn off the power, disconnect the power cord,
and contact the place of purchase or a qualified technician.

Environmental requirements
Use the printer in a place which is adequately ventilated. A slight odor is generated when the printed articles are
being fixed by heat.
Setting up and moving of the printer should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
The printer machine weighs 171 kg (376 lb) (main body 128 kg (282 lb) + lower unit 43 kg (94 lb)).
Transporting and setting up of the printer should be held in the proper way. Otherwise it may fall down and
cause injury.
When the printer falls down, disconnect the power cord and contact the place of purchase or a qualified
technician. If you continue to use it, it may result in fire or electric shocks or poor printing quality.
Do not place the printer on a shaky table or high shelf or other unstable location. Otherwise it may tip over
or fall down and cause injury. For information on the table that supports the printer, contact the dealer.
Do not set up the printer in a place where it will be affected by vibration. Otherwise the printing quality may
be degraded or the printer may fall down, which causes injury or results in failure of the printer.
Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete. The printer may operate if the power is turned
on by mistake, which could result in injury.
Do not climb onto the printer or place heavy objects on top of it. Otherwise it may become unbalanced and
tip over or fall down and cause injury.
Be careful not to touch the claws of the mounting portion on the upper side of the rear cover. Otherwise you
may be injured.
This printer should only be used by operators who are appropriately trained in its safe operation.
Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the printer and avoid placing any objects. Otherwise your hand
may get caught between the platen and an object, which may result in injury.
Do not handle the platen while printing. If your hand gets caught between the platen or the T-shirt tray and the
covers, it may be injured.
Do not put your hands inside the covers while the printer's power is turned on. Otherwise your hands may touch
against moving parts and this may result in injury.
When the pretreatment is applied to printed objects (like a T-shirt) with a spray or pretreatment applicator,
sprayed mist is generated. So wear a pair of plastic gloves, a mask and protective glasses (or goggles) designed
to shield against liquid splash, and fully take care of the air ventilation when you are working with it.
When a problem occurs with the operation of the printer, contact the place of purchase or a qualified technician.
Be careful not to get your fingers caught when closing the front cover, otherwise it may result in injury to your
fingers.
When you mount or replace the head, be careful not to get your hands or fingers caught. Otherwise you may be
injured.
Do not drink liquids such as the ink, maintenance solution, cleaning solution, pretreatment, or waste. They may
cause diarrhea or vomiting.
Avoid causing your eyes or skin to make contact with the ink, maintenance solution, cleaning solution,
pretreatment or waste. It may cause inflammation. In case of contact with eyes, do not rub but immediately rinse
the eyes with water.
Keep the liquids out of the reach of children.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the grease, so that it does not get into your eyes
or onto your skin.
It can cause inflammation. Do not drink or eat the grease. It may cause diarrhea or vomiting.
Keep the liquids out of the reach of children.
When replacing parts and installing optional accessories, be sure to use only genuine Brother parts. Brother will
not be held responsible for any accidents or problems resulting from the use of non-genuine parts.
When replacing parts or installing optional accessories, be sure to follow the procedures described in the
Instruction Manual. Incorrect procedures could cause injuries or problems.
Do not move the platen by hand. Otherwise the printer may be mechanically and electrically damaged.
Ensure there is adequate space left in front of the printer and avoid placing any objects. The platen may be hit
and damaged.
Use the printer in an area which is free from sources of strong electrical noise such as electrical line noise or
static electric noise. 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 printer. 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 printer's power consumption.
Insufficient power supply capacity 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.
The printer is not suitable for use in places where children are present.
