General precautions

•

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

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 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.

void the warranty.
