onto the brailler or use any type of abrasive cleaner.
General Care
Try not to drop your brailler. Though it is designed to withstand normal
wear and tear and deliver years of service, it is a precision machine
which can be damaged by a fall.
The brailler is thoroughly oiled at the factory with non-oxidizing oil, so
you should not oil it yourself. Only non-oxidizing oil should be used.
Oiling should be done by a trained brailler repair technician; otherwise,
your brailler may be permanently damaged or made inoperable.
Do not leave the brailler in hot places such as on a radiator or in direct
sunlight. The rubber feet on the bottom of the machine and in the
paper feed roller could degrade.
Though the brailler is designed to withstand corrosion, try not to
expose it to excessive dampness. Exposing the machine to salt water
and spilling liquid into it are particularly damaging.
Storage
When you are not using your brailler, push the Paper Release Levers
away from you, and cover it with a dust cover. Dust combines with oil
to form an abrasive substance which can damage the machine over
time. The dust cover available from Perkins for the Standard Perkins
Brailler
®
or the APH Light-Touch Perkins Brailler
®
will fit over the SMART
