2 Notes on safety

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.
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 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 start switch is pressed 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.
This sewing machine should only be used by
operators who have received the neccessary
training in safe use beforehand.
The sewing machine should not be used for
any applications other than sewing.

ing machine.

DANGER
CAUTION
Installation
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.
Have two people present to hold the machine
head with both their hands when tilting it back
or returning it to its original position.
Sewing
Do not touch any of the moving parts or press
any objects against the machine while sew-
ing, as this may result in personal injury or
damage to the machine.
If an error occurs in machine operation, or if
abnormal noises or smells are noticed, imme-
diately turn off the power switch. Then con-
tact your nearest Brother dealer or a qualified
technician.
If the machine develops a problem, contact
your nearest Brother dealer or a qualified tech-
nician.
