Changing the cutter unit
If the cutter becomes blunt and ceases to cut the tape
cleanly, replace it.
1) Open the cassette compartment.
2) Grasp the tab on the cutter unit and lift it out, taking
care not to touch the blade or the cutter lever.
Insert a new cutter unit. If the cutter lever is stuck in
the pushed-in position, rotate the new cutter unit as
you insert it, to push the lever back into its normal
position.

CAUTION
When changing the cutter unit, be sure
not to touch the cutter blade.
Make sure that small children do not try
to put the cutter unit in their mouths.
Changing the tape cassette
1) To remove the tape cassette compartment cover,
press the textured area of the catch located on the end
of the machine closest to the tape cutter.
2) Press down firmly on the catch so that the cover

the new tape cassette. Make sure that the end of the
tape in the new cassette feeds through the guide
posts on the cassette.

place. Ensure that the cassette sits properly on the
two metal posts.
