Important Information
Video and DAT heads are extremely delicate. Never rub rotating video or DAT heads with ordinary cotton swabs, as this may cause permanent damage. Use only the cleaning method recommended by the equipment manufacturer.
Avoid contact with rubber belts, pinch rollers and sensitive plastic components.
Use in a well-ventilated area and keep away from heat, sparks and open flames.
