Thank you very much for buying a BROTHER sewing machine. Before using your new machine, please read the safety
instructions below and the explanations given in the instruction manual.

With industrial sewing machines, it is normal to carry out work while positioned directly in front of moving parts such as
the needle and thread take-up lever, and consequently there is always a danger of injury that can be caused by these
parts. Follow the instructions from training personnel and instructors regarding safe and correct operation before
operating the machine so that you will know how to use it correctly.
