[2] Notes on safety
DANGER
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.
CAUTION
Environmental requirements
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.
Installation
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 120 kg.
Installation of the sewing machine and adjustment of
the table height should be carried out by four or
more people.
Do not connect the power cord until installation is
complete. If this is not done, the sewing machine
may operate if the start switch is pressed by mistake,
which could result in serious injury.
Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting
it back or returning it to its original position.
In addition, do not subject the machine head to extra
force while it is tilted back.
If this is not observed, the machine head may
become unbalanced and fall over (together with the
table), 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.
If this is not observed, fire or electric shocks may
result.
Install belt covers to the machine head.
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, so that it does not get
into your eyes or onto your skin.
If care is not taken, inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the lubricating oil. Diarrhea
or vomiting may result.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
