Environmental requirements
Use the sewing machine in an area which is free
from sources of stron
g
electrical noise such as
high-frequency welders.
Sources of stron
g
electrical noise ma
y
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.

45% to 85% durin
g
use, and no dew formation
should occur in any devices.
Excessivel
y

Installation
Machine installation should onl
y
be carried out b
y
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 200 kg.
The installation should be carried out b
y
two or
more people.
Do not connect the
p
ower cord until installation is
com
p
lete, otherwise the machine ma
y
o
p
erate if
the foot switch is de
p
ressed b
y
mistake, which
could result in injury.
Hold the machine head with both hands b
y
two or
more
p
eo
p
le when tiltin
g
it back or returnin
g
it to its
original position.
Furthermore, after tiltin
g
back the machine head,
do not
p
ush the face
p
late side or the
p
ulle
y
side
from above, as this could cause the machine head
to to
pp
le over, which ma
y
result in
p
ersonal in
j
ur
y
or damage to the machine.
Be sure to connect the
g
round. If the
g
round
connection is not secure, you run a high risk of
receiving a serious electric shock, and problems
with correct operation may also occur.
Install the belt cover and the frame side cover to
the machine head and motor.
If usin
g
a work table which has casters, the
casters should be secured in such a wa
y
so that
they cannot move.
Be sure to wear
p
rotective
g
o
gg
