(4) Return the arm counterclockwise 180° to the original position by hand. Listen for the “click” to verify that the arm
is in the correct position.
• If the arm does not return to the correct start position, peeling will not commence when the start/
stop button is pressed. “Arm position wrong - correct” will be displayed on the display screen. Ad -
just the arm to the correct start position, and press the start/stop button.
Caution!
Handle the Arm with care.
The arm may be deformed by the force applied to it during attach-
ing and detaching.
This may prevent the free movement of the peeler, resulting in a
significant reduction in peeling performance.
