This can cause static electricity. This static can cause the tone arm
to be attracted towards the cover.

•Use a soft brush to clean the stylus. Brush from the base to the tip.
•Use a good quality record cleaner to keep your records clean.

Use a soft cloth. Turn the amplifier off before fitting or removing the
head shell.
•Damage to your speakers can occur if the head shell is moved

while the volume is turned up.

•Leave the stylus cover on while handling the head shell to prevent

damaging the stylus.

Apply 2 or 3 drops every 2000 hours of operation. Use SFW0010 oil
(not included).
