Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the power switch and disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet 
before opening the cover of the control box. Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in severe 
injury. 

 

Do not allow any liquids to get onto this sewing machine, otherwise fire, electric shocks or operating problems may 
occur. 
If any liquid gets inside the sewing machine (machine head or control box), immediately turn off the power and 
disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet, and then contact the place of purchase or a qualified 
technician. 

 

Use the sewing machine in an area which is free from 
sources of strong electrical noise such as electrical 
line noise or static electric noise. 
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 voltage 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 power 
consumption. 
Insufficient power supply capacity may cause 
problems with correct operation. 
 

The pneumatic delivery capability should be greater 
than the requirements for the sewing machine's total 
air consumption. 
Insufficient pneumatic delivery capability may cause 
problems with correct operation. 

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 humidity should be within the range 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.

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.

Machine installation should only be carried out by 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 approximately 88 kg. 
The installation should be carried out by two or more 
people. 
Do not connect the power cord until installation is 
complete. If the foot switch is depressed by mistake, 
the sewing machine might start operating and injury 
could result. 
Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting it 
back or returning it to its original position. 
Furthermore, do not apply excessive force when 
tilting back the machine head. The sewing machine 
may become unbalanced and fall down, and serious 
injury or damage to the sewing machine may result. 
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. 

All cords should be secured at least 25 mm away 
from any moving parts. Furthermore, do not 
excessively bend the cords or secure them too firmly 
with staples, otherwise there is the danger that fire or 
electric shocks could occur. 
Install the safety covers to the machine head and 
motor.

 

If using a work table which has casters, the casters 
should be secured in such a way so that they cannot 
move. 
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. If the oil 
and grease get into your eyes or onto your skin, 
inflammation can result. 
Furthermore, do not drink or eat the lubricating oil or 
grease. They may cause diarrhea or vomiting. 
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
