If using a work table which has casters, the casters
should be secured in such a way so that they cannot
move.
Attach all safety devices before using the sewing
machine. If the machine is used without these
devices attached, injury may result.
Do not touch any of the moving parts or press any
objects against the machine while sewing, as this
may result in personal injury or damage to the
machine.
If an error occurs in machine operation, or if
abnormal noises or smells are noticed, immediately
turn off the power switch. Then contact your nearest
Brother dealer or a qualified technician.
If the machine develops a problem, contact your
nearest Brother dealer or a qualified technician.
Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when
handling the lubricating oil, so that it does not get into
your eyes or onto your skin.
If care is not taken, inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink the lubricating oil. Diarrhea
or vomiting may result.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting
it back or returning it to its original position.
In addition, do not subject the machine head to extra
force while it is tilted back.
If this is not observed, the machine head may
become unbalanced and fall over (together with the
table), and serious injury or damage to the sewing
machine may result.
If the power switch and air need to be left on when
carrying out some adjustment, be extremely careful
to observe all safety precautions.
Use only the proper replacement parts as specified
by Brother.
If any safety devices have been removed, be
absolutely 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.
