Mechanical Malfunctions
and Remedies
Problem: The machine is making “squeaking” noises.
Cause: Work pieces can have worked their way underneath the disc.

key. Remove the pieces underneath the disc, put 2 teaspoon fine
granule under the disc, and refasten disc on reverse sequence.

pieces have worked their way underneath the disc.
Remedy: Examine the disc for intense wear and replace it, if necessary.
