CASSETTE CARE
Two common causes of rouble experienced when using casse es are:

To reduce he likelihood of hese problems occurring, he following precau ions should be

 Check ha here are no loose layers of ape visible hrough he casse e cen er window
(see Fig. 1). Take up any loose layers, using a pencil or hexagonal barreled ballpoin pen,
before inser ing he casse e in o he machine (see Fig.2)
 If he casse e feels igh while performing opera ion shown (see Fig.2), he ape may be
jamming due o ridges formed in he winding of he ape (visible hrough he cen er
