Z-8560A is a computer direct drive zigzag sewing machine that uses energy saving direct drive and needleless oil technology. It can sew multiple sewing patterns and is more widely used. The features of this sewing machine include: clean sewing, low power consumption and energy saving model, fast response, comfortable sewing, easy-to-use multi-function operation panel, and one machine can sew multiple patterns.
The Z‑8550A and Z‑8560A are oil‑free, direct‑drive sewing machines that reduce energy consumption by about 50% compared with traditional belt‑driven models. They use a compact built‑in motor and a high‑rigidity frame to provide low noise, low vibration and fast acceleration to 4000 rpm.
The machines offer eight built‑in stitch types and can store up to 99 user‑defined patterns (49 500 stitches) on a CF card. A dual‑color LCD panel with pictograms makes operation intuitive, while automatic lubrication timers remind users to apply Brother‑specific oil for maintenance. This manual is written in Chinese.

It uses a built‑in direct‑drive AC motor rated at 450 W with a 4‑pole design, which is the smallest in its class.
The needle bar and threader are designed without oil, so no oil is applied to the needle area, preventing oil contamination of the fabric.
A built‑in timer records operating time and automatically prompts the user to add lubrication oil when needed.
