Brother AX-10 - Unit Care and Troubleshooting

CARE OF UNIT
Do not allow any foreign matter to enter the
interior of the typewriter or get between the
keys. Be especially careful of metal objects
such as paper clips and staples.
Never use volatile liquids such as thinner or
benzine to clean the exterior surface of the
typewriter. Use only a soft cloth dampened
with a mild detergent solution.
Do not locate your typewriter
where it is exposed to direct
sunlight, heat or intense vibration.
Do not block the ventilation slits
provided in the back of the unit to
protect against the danger of
overheating.
When the typewriter is not in use,
be sure to replace the keyboard
cover.
