[2] Notes on safety
DANGER
Wait at least 5 minutes after turning off the power switch and disconnecting the power cord from the wall outlet
before opening the cover of the control box. Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in severe
injury.
WARNING
Do not allow any liquids to get onto this sewing machine, otherwise fire, electric shocks or operating problems may
occur.
If any liquid gets inside the sewing machine (machine head or control box), immediately turn off the power and
disconnect the power plug from the electrical outlet, and then contact the place of purchase or a qualified
technician.
CAUTION
Environmental requirements
Use the sewing machine in an area which is free from
sources of strong electrical noise such as electrical
line noise or static electric noise.
The pneumatic delivery capability should be greater
than the requirements for the sewing machine's total
air consumption.
Sources of strong electrical noise may cause
problems with correct operation.
Insufficient pneumatic delivery capability may cause
problems with correct operation.
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.
The ambient temperature should be within the range
of 5°C to 35°C during use.
Temperatures which are lower or higher than this
may cause problems with correct operation.
The power supply capacity should be greater than the
requirements for the sewing machine's power
consumption.
Insufficient power supply capacity may cause
problems with correct operation.
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.

CAUTION
Do not connect the power cord until lubrication is complete.
If the foot switch is depressed by mistake, the sewing machine might start operating and injury could result.
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. If the oil and grease get into your eyes or onto your skin, inflammation can result.
Furthermore, do not drink or eat the lubricating oil or grease. They may cause diarrhea or vomiting.
Keep the oil out of the reach of children.
The sewing machine should always be lubricated and the oil supply replenished before it is used for the first time, and also after
long periods of non-use.
Use only the lubricating oil <JX Nippon Oil & Energy Corporation Sewing Lube 10N; VG10> specified by Brother.
* If this type of lubricating oil is difficult to obtain, the recommended oil to use is <Exxon Mobil Essotex SM10; VG10>.

• Use a CF card with a memory capacity of 32, 64, 128, 256, 512 MB, 1GB or 2GB.
(CF cards with a capacity of more than 2GB are not supported.)
• Do not disassemble or modify the CF card.
• Do not bend, drop or scratch CF cards or place heavy objects on top of them.
• Avoid contact with liquids such as water, oil, solvents or drinks.
• Use and store CF cards in locations that are free from strong static electricity and electrical interference.
• Do not use or store CF cards in places where they may be subject to vibrations or shocks, direct sunlight, high
temperature or humidity or strong magnetic fields from equipment such as speakers, or places which are dusty from thread
scraps, etc.
• Do not subject CF cards to shocks or impacts or remove them from the sewing machine while data is being loaded or
written.
• The data on the CF cards may become lost or corrupted due to some malfunction or accident. It is recommended that you
make a backup of important data.
• CF cards should only be removed after the power for the sewing machine has been turned off.
• CF cards are already formatted when they are purchased, and so you should not reformat them.
• The recommended CF cards are commercially-available ones from SanDisk or HAGIWARA SYS-COM. CF cards from
other manufacturers can be used, but different formatting methods may mean that loading from or writing to such cards
may not be possible.
For more information, refer to the documentation provided with the CF card.
