Turn off the power switch before starting any cleaning work, otherwise the machine may op- erate if the start switch is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil or grease, 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 un- der any circumstances, as they can cause vom- iting and diarrhoea.

Keep the oil out of the reach of children.

Ask your Brother dealer or a qualified electri- cian to carry out any maintenance and inspec- tion of the electrical system.

•When carrying out inspection, adjustment and maintenance

If the power switch needs to be left on when carrying out some adjustment, be extremely careful to observe all safety precautions.

Use only the proper replacement parts as speci- fied by Brother.

If any safety devices have been removed, be ab- solutely sure to re-install them to their original positions and check that they operate correctly before using the machine.
