Warning: Failure to sharpen or replace knives will result in excess dust, frequent jamming of stage 2 chamber,
reduced throughput, excess vibration, and increased noise throughout the device.
Re-sharpening: Knives can be re-sharpened 2-3 times provided they are not significantly damaged or worn. Knives
must be sharpened as a complete set (two bed knives, three rotor knives). Contact SEM Customer Service for
details or for replacement knives.
