Tape Cutter - Brother P-touch PT-1300 User Manual

With use, the tape cutter may become covered with adhesive, making it difficult to cut
the tape. If the tape cannot be cut correctly, clean the tape cutter blades as explained
below.
To avoid injuries, be extremely careful not touch the cutter blades with bare
hands.
To clean the tape cutter blades:
1 Turn off the machine.
2 Remove the back cover, and then remove the tape cassette if one is installed. The
tape cutter is located near the tape exit slot.
3 Using a cotton swab dipped in isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol or ethanol, wipe the
tape cutter blades with an up-and-down motion.
Be careful not to touch the cutter blades with bare hands.
