3. INSTALLATION
CAUTION
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 head weighs approximately 57
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 depressed 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.
Furthermore, after tilting 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
.
All cords should be secured at least 25 mm away
from any moving parts. Furthermore, do not
excessively bend the cable or secure it too firmly
staples, otherwise there is the danger that fire or
electric shocks could occur.
Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground
connection is not secure, you run the risk of receiving
a serious electric shock, and problems with correct
operation may also occur.
Install the safety covers to the machine head and
motor.
3-1. Table processing diagram
• The thickness of the table should be at least 40 mm, and it should be strong enough to bear the weight and vibration of the
sewing machine.
• Check that the control box is at least 10 mm away from the leg. If the control box and the leg are too close together, it may
result in incorrect sewing machine operation.
