Any fluctuations in the power supply voltage should be within ±10% of the rated voltage for the machine. Voltage fluctuations which are greater than this may cause problems with correct operation. 0 The relative humidity should be within the range of 45% to 85% during use, and no dew formation should occur in any devices. Excessively dry or humid environments and dew formation may cause problems with correct operation.

A Hold the machine head with both hands when tilting it back or returning it to its original position. Furthmore, after tilring back the machine head, do not push the face plate side or the pulley side from above, as this could cause the machine head to topple over, which may result in personal injury or damage to the machine. Be sire to connect the ground. If the ground connection is not secure, you run a high risk of receiving a serious electric shock, and problems with correct operation may also occur. 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 under any circumstances, as they can cause vomiting and diarrhoea. Keep the oil out of the reach of children.

A
Machine
installation
should
only
be
carried
out
by
a
qualified
technician.
Contact
your
Brother
dealer
or
a
qualified
electrician
for
any
electrical
work
that
may
need
to
be
done.
The
sewing
machine
weighs
more
than
47
kg.
The
installation
should
be
carried
out
by
two
or
more
people.
Do
not
connect
the
power
cord
until
installation
is
complete,
otherwise
the
machine
may
operate
if
the
foot
switch
is
pressed
by
mistake,
which
could
result
in
injury.
Hold
the
machine
head
with
both
hands
when
tilting
it
back
or
returning
it
to
its
original
position.
Furthmore,
after
tilring
back
the
machine
head,
do
not
push
the
face
plate
side
or
the
pulley
side
from
above,
as
this
could
cause
the
machine
head
to
topple
over,
which
may
result
in
personal
injury
or
damage
to
the
machine.
Be
sire
to
connect
the
ground.
If
the
ground
connec-
tion
is
not
secure,
you
run
a
high
risk
of
receiving
a
serious
electric
shock,
and
problems
with
correct
operation
may
also
occur.

not
excessively
bend
the
cords
or
secure
them
too
firmly
with
staples,
otherwise
there
is
the
danger
that
fire
or
electric
shocks
could
occur.
Install
the
belt
covers
to
the
machine
head
and

If
using
a
work
table
which
has
casters,
the
casters
should
