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 face plate 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
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 electrical 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 to 35 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.
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.
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 more than 65 kg.
Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete, otherwise the machine may operate if the foot switch is depressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
Hold the machine head with both hands by two or more people when tilting it back or returning it to its original position.
Furthermore, after tilting back the machine head, do not push the face plate side or the pulley side from above, as this could cause the machine head to topple over, which may result in personal injury or damage to the machine.
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 belt cover and the frame side cover 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, otherwise inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the oil or eat the grease under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting and diarrhoea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
