Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in severe injury. ACAUTI ON Installation 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. 8 e oe @ © © The sewing machine weighs more than 87 kg. The installation should be carried out by ‘two or more people. © The top of the table should be 50 mm in thickness and should be strong enough to hold the weight and withstand the vibration ofthe sewing machine. Qo OO © Do not connect the power cord until installation is complete, otherwise the machine may operate if the start switch is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury. ‘© Be sure to connect the ground. If the ground connection isnot secure, you run the risk of receiving a serious electric shock. © If using a work table which has casters, the casters should be secured in such a way 50 ‘that they cannot move. @ ©All cords should be secured at least 25 mm away from any moving parts. Furthermore, do 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 motor. 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. Avoid setting up the sewing machine near sources of strong electrical noise such as high-frequency welding equipment. If this precaution is not taken, incorrect machine operation may result. Sewing © This sewing machine shoutd 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. © Attach all safety devices before using the sewing machine. If the machine is used without these devices attached, injury may result. © 8 A e Turn off the power switch at the following times, otherwise the machine may operate if tthe start switch is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury. + When threading the needle ‘* Whenreplacing the needle ‘* When not using the machine and when leaving the machine unattended ® e AS ‘© 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. © ifan 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 @ problem, contact your nearest Brother dealer or 2 qualified technician. © If using a work table which has casters, the casters should be secured in such a way so that they cannot move.

Adjusting the amount to pull the upper thread and tension release *The amount to pull the upper thread should be sufficent'y maintained to form the correct stitches at the start of sewing. + Tho upper thread take-up lever operates as soon as sewing is completed, and is released when the start switchis pressed to move the feed bracket with the needle stopped. 1. Loosen the screw @, and move the upper thread take-up lever guide @ up and down to adjust the amount to pull the upper thread, © The upper thread tension mechanism has double tension mechanisms. The main tension disc © is open after sewing iscompleted, and closed when the start switch is pressed to move the feed bracket, with the needle stopped. «The upper thread tension plate @ and the upper thread take-up lever are interlocked. The sub tension disc @ is always kept closed to give the upper thread tension. The tension will change the thread end length at the start of sewing. 59 DHe-8981 4. ADJUSTMENT 4-20. Adjusting upper thread trimming Upper thread trimming will be performed on the correct time after sewing is completed. ‘a. Adjusting the upper movable knife mounting position The mounting position of upper movable knife (8) @ is determined by the position of the lower thread preser®. oswg, iL 1. Loosen the screw ©, and position upper movable knife (8) @ between the projection of the throat plate @ and spreader (R) ©. 2.

Adjusting the position of the thread trimmer lever bracket ‘When the needle is swinging to the right with the maximum stitch width, the needle should be able to ppass the upper movable knife sufficiently. 1. Loosen the nut @, and turn the screw @ to adjust ‘the position of the thread trimmer lever bracket. At this time, dimension a to the shoulder of the ‘thread trimmer lever bracket should be 10 mm. Note: Turn the looper base, and make sure that the thread trimmer lever bracket can smoothly go in under the thread timmer lever hammer.

Adjusting the gimp pull force and tension “The gimp should be completely sewn in a few stitches at the stort of sewing, and the gimp end length ‘rom the stitches should be as small as possible. *The gimp is pulled by utilizing the difference in distance between gimp thread guide () @ and gimp thread guide (¢-J) @ when the looper base returns 1000" from 180° after the gimp is rimmed. *The gimp is trimmed when the feed bracket is at the home position. When the stitch length is changed, dimensions 8 and A will change. Its necessary to adjust the force to pull the gimp. ‘Also, dimension A differs according to the gimp type and the gimp tension, so it is necessary to adjust ‘the force to pull the gimp.
