4) Inspecting the reference side (bottom side) for fixing the tape feeder
Check to see if the fixing reference side (feeder bank connecting side) is not flawed
or if no foreign substance is stuck to this side.
If any foreign substance is stuck to this bottom side, use an air gun or similar
device to remove it.
If a foreign substance is cut into the bottom side, or if the bottom side has a dented
flaw, it lowers the component pick-up position accuracy, and the flaw may not be
repaired. Check to see if there is no foreign substance on this bottom side when
you attach the tape feeder on a mounter.

component pick-up position.
