CAUTION
Environmental requirements
Use the sewin
g
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.
The
p
ower su
pp
l
y
ca
p
acit
y
should be
g
reater than
the re
q
uirements for the sewin
g
machine’s
electrical consumption.
Insufficient
p
ower su

l
y
ca
p
acit
y
ma
y
cause
problems with correct operation.
The ambient tem
p
erature should be within the
range of 5 to 35 during use.
Tem
p
eratures which are lower or hi
g
her than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The relative humidit
y
should be within the ran
g
e of
45 % to 85 % durin
g
use, and no dew formation
should occur in any devices.
Excessivel
y
dr
y
or humid environments and dew
formation ma
y
cause
p
roblems with correct
operation.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight during use.
Ex

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 sewin
g
machine wei
g
hs more than 36 k
g
.
The installation should be carried out b
y
two or
more people.
Do not connect the
p
ower cord until installation is
complete, otherwise the machine may operate if
the treadle is de
p
ressed b
y
mistake, which could
result in injury.
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.
When securin
g
the cords, do not bend the cords
excessivel
y
or fasten them too hard with sta
p
les,
otherwise there is the dan
g
er that fire or electric
shocks could occur.
If usin
g
a work table which has casters, the
casters should be secured in such a wa
y
so that
they cannot move.
Use both hands to hold the machine head when
tiltin
g
it back or returnin
g
it to its ori
g
inal
p
osition. If
onl
y
one hand is used, the wei
g
ht of the machine
head ma
y
cause
y
our hand to sli
p
, and
y
our hand
may get caught.
Be sure to wear
p
rotective
g
o
gg
les and
g
loves
when handlin
g
the lubricatin
g
oil, so that no oil
g
ets into
y
our e
y
es or onto
y
our skin, otherwise
inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil under an
y
circumstances, as the
y
can cause vomitin
g
and
diarrhea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
Use a lam
p
which is rated at 6 V AC and 20 W or
less. If a lam
p
with a hi
g
her ratin
g
than this is
used, it could cause the lam
p
wires and the
transformer to overheat and burn out, which could
result in fire.
