If using a work table which has casters, the casters
should be secured in such a way so that they cannot
move.
Attach all safety devices before using the sewing
machine. If the machine is used without these devices
attached, injury may result.
Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any
objects against the machine while sewing, as this may
result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
Do not touch the motor cover during operation and for
one hour after operation has finished, otherwise burns
may result.
If an error occurs in machine operation, or if abnormal
noises or smells are noticed, immediately turn off the
power switch. Then contact your nearest Brother
dealer or a qualified technician.
If the machine develops a problem, contact your
nearest Brother dealer or a qualified technician.
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 un-
der any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting
and diarrhoea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
If the power switch needs to be left on when carrying
out some adjustment, be extremely careful to observe
all safety precautions.
Use both hands to hold the machine head when tilting
it back or returning it to its original position. If only one
hand is used, the weight of the machine head may
cause your hand to slip, and your hand may get
caught.
Use only the proper replacement parts as specified by
Brother.
If any safety devices have been removed, be abso-
lutely sure to re-install them to their original positions
and check that they operate correctly before using the
machine.
Any problems in machine operation which result from
unauthorized modifications to the machine will not be
covered by the warranty.
