Daily maintenance and regular inspection

continues to be used, it may cause the unit to break down. To prevent this, please perform daily mainte-
nance using the head-cleaning tape. With the head-cleaning tape alone, however, the entire tape-winding
mechanism cannot be completely cleaned.
Please perform regular maintenance of the components as shown below.
