Brother Z-8560A, Z-8550A manual Easy maintenance, Environment-conscious, Sewing examples

Easy maintenance

Greasing timing is notified automatically

The running time of the machine is stored, so that a notification for greasing, which is indispensable for dry head sewing machines, is automatically displayed on the panel. (Please use Brother’s special grease of good durability.)

Adoption of the CF (CompactFlash) card as storage media

Data passing among sewing machines are easily made. Sewing patterns created using PC (with sewing data programming software PS-300B) can be added by simple operation at the operation panel. Version upgrade of sewing machine control software can also be done with a CF card.

Environment-conscious

The Z-8550A and Z-8560A are environment-conscious sewing machines, certified according to the Brother Green Label’s standards such as “Energy-saving capability: a reduction of 35% or above compared with the previous models”, “A reduction of lubrication oil consumption of 30% or above by lubrication-free technology” and “Use of lead-free solder in all PC boards”.
