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.
Avoid setting up the sewing machine near
sources of strong electrical noise such as high-
frequency welding equipment.
If this precaution is not taken, incorrect machine
operation may result.
The casters should be secured in such a way
so that they cannot move.
Machine installation should only be carried out
by a qualified technician.
Contact your Brother dealer or a qualified elec-
trician for any electrical work that may need to
be done.
The sewing machine weighs more than 720 kg.
The installation should be carried out by four

Do not connect the power cord until installa-
tion is complete, otherwise the machine may
operate if the start switch is pressed by mis-
take, which could result in injury.
Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground
connection is not secure, you run the risk of
receiving a serious electric shock.
When securing the cords, do not bend the cords
excessively or fasten them too hard with
staples, otherwise there is the danger that fire
or electric shocks could occur.
