Cleaning
Turn off the power switch before carrying out
cleaning, otherwise the machine may operate if the
treadle is depressed by mistake, which could result in

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 un-
der any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting
and diarrhoea.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
Maintenance and inspection
Maintenance and inspection of the sewing machine
should only be carried out by a qualified technician.
Ask your Brother dealer or a qualified electrician to
carry out any maintenance and inspection of the
electrical system.

tary hook
Turn off the power switch before inserting or
removing the plug, otherwise damage to the control
box could result.
If the power switch needs to be left on when carrying
out some adjustment, be extremely careful to observe
all safety precautions.
Use both hands to hold the machine head when tilting
it back or returning it to its original position. If only
one hand is used, the weight of the machine head
may cause your hand to slip, and your hand may get
caught.
Use only the proper replacement parts as specified
by Brother.
If any safety devices have been removed, be abso-
lutely sure to re-install them to their original positions
and check that they operate correctly before using
the machine.
Any problems in machine operation which result from
unauthorized modifications to the machine will not be
covered by the warranty.
