CAUTION
• Never use a bobbin case that is scratched;
otherwise, the upper thread may become
tangled, the needle may break, or sewing
performance may suffer. For a new bobbin
case (part code: XE5342-101 (green marking
on the screw), XC8167-551 (no color on the
screw)), contact your nearest Brother
authorized service center.
• Make sure that you fit the bobbin case
properly, otherwise the needle may break.

• Never use bent needles. Bent needles can
easily break, possibly resulting in injuries.
Note
• After completing this procedure, continue
with the following procedure in “Checking

machine is operating correctly.
Memo
• Since the needle may have been damaged
when the fabric was caught in the machine,
we recommend replacing it with a new one.
Note
• Do not yet install the presser foot and
thread.
