Wires, vinyl and other objects may be wound around the knife shaft. When you
hear an abnormal sound, stop the engine, and remove such objects after the
knife shaft has stopped rotation.
Should the knife be broken, the knife shaft will be unbalanced, causing vibration,
which is very dangerous. Be sure to change the knives, otherwise the machine
will be broken.
