SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

WARNING

• Always use the speciﬁ ed voltage and the suggested AC adapter (AD-24ES) for this machine to prevent any damage or failure.

• Unplug the power cord immediately and stop using the P-touch labeller during an electrical storm. There may be a remote risk of electric shock from lightning.

• Do not use the AC adapter in places of high humidity such as bathrooms.

• Do not overload the power cord.

• Do not place heavy objects on, or damage the power cord or plug. Do not forcibly bend or pull the power cord. When disconnecting the power cord from the power outlet, al-

ways hold the plug.

• To prevent ﬁ re or electric shock, make sure that the plug is fully inserted in the power outlet. Do not use an outlet that is loose.

• Do not get the machine/AC adapter/power plug wet, such as by handling them with wet hands or spilling beverages onto them.

• Do not disassemble or modify the P-touch labeller/AC adapter/batteries.

• Do not use metallic articles, such as tweezers or a metallic pen, when exchanging the batteries.

• Do not throw into ﬁ re or heat up the battery.

• Disconnect the AC adapter, remove batteries and stop using immediately if you notice any abnormal odour, heat, discolouration, deformation or anything unusual while in use,

or in storage.

CAUTION

• To avoid injuries, do not touch the blade of the cutter unit or any metal parts near the print head.

• Do not apply excessive pressure to the cutter lever.

• Remove the batteries and disconnect the AC adapter if you do not intend to use the P-touch labeller for an extended period of time.

• Do not use old and new batteries together or mix alkaline batteries with other type batteries, or set the positive and negative end in the wrong position. Otherwise, the batter-

ies may leak or be damaged.

• To prevent damage or breakage, do not drop or hit the P-touch labeller/AC adapter.

• Use only the USB cable included with the P-touch labeller.

General Precautions

• Depending on the location, material, and environmental conditions, a label may unpeel or become irremovable, the colour of a label may change or be transferred to other ob-

jects. Before applying labels, check the environmental condition and the surface material.

• Do not use the P-touch labeller in any way or for any purpose not described in this guide. Doing so may result in accidents or damage to the machine.

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

• Do not clean the P-touch labeller with alcohol or other organic solvents. Only use a soft, dry cloth.

• Do not touch the print head with your ﬁ ngers at any time, to prevent the possibility of burns. Use a soft wipe (e.g. a cotton swab) when cleaning the print head.
