17. TROUBLESHOOTING
Please check the following points before calling for repairs or service.
If the following suggestions do not solve the problem, turn off the machine power supply and contact your nearest Brother
service center.
Turn off the power switch and disconnect the power cord before carrying out troubleshooting, otherwise the machine
will operate if the treadle is pressed by mistake, which could result in injury.
* When using a clutch motor, the motor will keep turning even after the power is switched off as a result of the
motor's inertia. Wait until the motor stops fully before starting work.
Disconnect the air hoses from the air supply and wait for the needle on the pressure gauge to drop to "0" before
carrying out inspection adjustment and repair of any parts which use the pneumatic equipment.
