CAUTION Sewing This sewing machine should only be used by operators who have received the necessary training in safe use beforehand. The sewing machine should not be used for any applications other than sewing. Be sure to wear protective goggles when using the machine. If goggles are not worn, there is the danger that if a needle breaks, parts of the broken needle may enter your eyes and injury may result. Turn off the power switch at the following times, otherwise the machine may operate if the treadle is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury. G When threading the needle G When replacing the needle and bobbin G When not using the machine and when leaving the machine unattended If the actuator is pressed by mistake when using the correction sewing function, the needle will move in a zigzag motion while the machine is operating, and injury may result. 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. Do not touch the motor cover during operation and for one hour after operation has finished, otherwise burns may result. For machines with automatic presser lifter, do not touch the solenoid section, otherwise burns may result. If an error occurs in machine, 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. Cleaning Turn off the power switch before carrying out cleaning, otherwise the machine may operate if the treadle is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury. Be sure to wear protective goggles and gloves when handling the lubricating oil, so that no oil gets into your eyes or onto your skin, otherwise inflammation can result. Furthermore, do not drink the oil under any circumstances, as it 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. Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord from the wall outlet at the following times, otherwise the machine may operate if the treadle is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury.

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. iii ZE-855A,856A (English)
