General precautions

•Use only Brother TZ tapes with this machine. Do not use tapes that do not have the mark.

•Do not pull on the tape being fed from the P-touch. Otherwise, the tape cassette may be damaged.

•Avoid using the machine in extremely dusty places, and keep it out of both direct sunlight and rain.

•Do not expose the machine to high temperatures or high humidity.

•Do not leave any rubber or vinyl objects on the machine for an extended period of time. Doing so may cause staining.

•Do not clean the machine with alcohol or other organic solvents. Use a soft, dry cloth only.

•Do not put any foreign objects into or anything on the machine.

•To avoid injures, do not touch the cutter’s edge.

•Do not touch the print head, which becomes very hot when the P-touch is used. Even after the machine is turned off, the print head remains hot for some time.

•Use only the enclosed AC adapter (model AD-60) designed exclusively for this machine. Use of any other adapter will void the warranty.

•Use only the enclosed USB interface cable. Use of any other cable will void the warranty.

•When the machine is not being used for a long period of time, disconnect the AC adapter.

•Do not try to disassemble the P-touch.
