INSTALLATION 3-16. Lubrication 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 specified by Brother. * If this type of lubricating oil is difficult to obtain, the recommended oil to use is . 2368B 5221Q 1. Fill the arm-side oil tank with oil. 2. Move the work clamp arm (1) as far as it will go to the right when looking from the front of the sewing machine, and then slide the outer cover L (2) into the inner cover L (3) so that the lubrication hole in the bed is visible. Pour oil into the bed side oil tank through this hole. NOTE: Be sure to fill the machine with oil when the oil level is down to about one-third full in the oil sight glass. If the oil drops below the one-third level, there is the danger that the machine may seize during operation. ・ BAS-300G-03[] ・ BAS-311G ・ BAS-326G ・ BAS-300G-01[] ・ BAS-300G-02[] 1845B 4940Q 3.

NOTE: ・ The two pieces of felt (4) should normally project by 0 to 0.5 mm from the hook race. Be careful not to push in the felt (4) when lubricating. ・ If there is no more oil on the felt (4) of the shuttle race base assembly, problems with sewing may result. 2 4. If using the needle cooler (5), fill it with silicon oil (100 mm /s). (Refer to “4-2. Threading the upper thread”.) 18 BAS-300G, BAS-311G, BAS-326G 4. PREPARATION BEFORE SEWING 4.

Insert the needle (2) in a straight line as far as it will go, making sure that the long groove on the needle is at the front, and then securely tighten the set screw (1). 2369B 4-2. Threading the upper thread Thread the upper thread correctly as shown in the illustration below. * When using threading mode for threading, the tension discs (1) will open so that the thread can be threaded more easily.

(This will make threading easier and it will prevent the thread from coming out at the sewing start.) • When threading the thread through the needle, allow a distance of approximately 40 mm between the needle hole and the end of the thread. If the trailing length of the thread is too long, it may cause the thread to become tangled. BAS-300G, BAS-311G, BAS-326G 19 4.
