CAUTION
Environmental requirements
Use the sewing machine in an area which is
free from sources of strong electrical noise
such as high-frequency welders.
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 volta
g
e for
the machine.
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 sewing
machine's electrical consumption.
Insufficient power supply capacity may cause
problems with correct operation.
The air supply should have a capacity greater
than the machine consumption. If air is not
supplied sufficiently, a machine malfunction
may occur.
The ambient temperature should be within the
range of 5°C to 35°C during use.
Temperatures which are lower or higher than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The relative humidit
y
should be within the ran
g
e of
45% to 85% during use, and no dew formation
should occur in any devices.
Excessively dry or humid environments and dew
formation may cause problems with correct
operation.
Avoid exposure to direct sunlight during use.
Exposure to direct sunlight 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.
Do not use this machine outdoors.
Installation
Machine installation should only be carried
out by a qualified technician.
Never operate the sewing machine with any
ventilation openings blocked.
Keep the ventilation openings of the sewing
machine free from the accumulation of lint or
dust.
Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified
electrician for any electrical work that may
need to be done.
The sewing machine weighs approximately
700 kg.
The installation should be carried out by four
or more people.
Do not connect the power cord until
installation is complete, otherwise the
machine may operate if the start switch is
pressed by mistake, which could result in
injury.
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.
When securing the cords, do not bend the cords
excessively or fasten them too hard with staples,
otherwise there is the danger that fire or electric
shocks could occur.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves
when handlin
g
the lubricatin
g
oil or
g
rease, so that
no oil or grease gets into your eyes or onto your
skin, otherwise inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil or grease under
any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting
and diarrhoea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
Secure the machine with the adjustment bolts on
the sound floor so that it will not move.
