BAS-364E,366E BAS-370E,375E INSTRUCTION MANUAL Please read this manual before using the machine. Please keep this manual within easy reach for quick reference.
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.
x 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 face plate of the control box Leg cover. Touching areas where high voltages are present can result in severe injury. CAUTION Environmental requirements Use the sewing machine in an area which is free from sources of strong electrical noise such as highfrequency welders. Sources of strong electrical noise may cause problems with correct operation.
CAUTION Sewing This sewing machine should 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. Be sure to wear protective goggles when using the machine. If goggles are not worn, there is the danger that if a needle breaks, parts of the broken needle may enter your eyes and injury may result. Set the needle to the needle up stop position before turning on the power.
c Warning labels ★ The following warning labels appear on the sewing machine. Please follow the instructions on the labels at all times when using the machine. If the labels have been removed or are difficult to read, please contact your nearest Brother dealer. 1 2 * BAS-364E, 366E Safety devices: Thread take-up cover, Belt cover, Eye guard, Finger guard, Arm motor cover, etc.

Chapter 8 DEVICES Chapter 8 DEVICES Some of the specifications include optional devices as standard equipment. 1. Needle thread presser ● ● The needle thread presser is used to enable the needle thread to be securely sewn underneath the material. The needle thread presser presses the needle thread when the needle is lowered for the first stitch at the sewing start, and releases the needle thread when the needle comes out of the needle plate.
Chapter 8 DEVICES 3. Two-stage thread tension mechanism (Option) Two-stage thread tension mechanism ● This mechanism is used to enable selection of the thread tension in two steps when sewing a single pattern. ● It is useful when a different sewing tension is necessary while sewing a single pattern due to the sewing direction or differences in the material. ● Use the programmer to program the different needle thread tensions in two steps.
Chapter 8 DEVICES /Option) 5. Needle cooler (Air bag specification/ ● ● Scorching and breakage of the thread resulting from the needle becoming warm can be prevented by using the needle cooler mechanism. The needle cooler mechanism starts operating at the same time that sewing starts, and stops when sewing stops. Setting the needle cooler operation Note Be sure to turn the power off before changing the DIP switch setting.
Chapter 8 DEVICES 7. Jig pattern sensor (Option) If the work clamp foot is not appropriate for use with the programmed sewing pattern, an error will be displayed and the machine will enter the emergency stop condition. q Setting the start position ● At the sewing start position, attach reflector tape w directly below the jig pattern sensor q (In the position where the indicator e of the jig pattern sensor q illuminates).
Chapter 8 DEVICES 8. Sub clamp (BAS-370E, 375E only) This is used when the standard clamp alone cannot hold the work piece properly.
