!! CAUTION !!
NEVER ATTEMPT TO FREE A JAMMED MACHINE BY PLACING HANDS ON
ROTOR, ROTOR KNIVES, OR WITHIN THE CUTTING CHAMBER.
HANDS MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF THE ROTATIONAL PATH OF THE ROTOR
KNIVES.
A block of wood should be used to exert force on the rotor, usually
in the direction opposite normal rotation.
Good footing on a clean floor is essential and the body should be
well braced when performing this act. Guard against loss of
balance should the jammed conditions suddenly come free.
A leather mallet and block of wood of sufficient length to keep
hands away from the path of knives can be used if required.
Use pliers in removing material from the cutting chamber, keeping
in mind that the removal of material may cause rotation of the rotor
and rotor knives.
After clearing the jam, be certain that the hopper screen, and all
guards and covers are secured in place before connecting power
and starting the machine.
