are blocking the cutting cylinder
or jammed between the blades.
If you find no problems, return
the equipment to a customer
service centre.
• If the blades no longer cut cor-
rectly or if the motor is over-
loaded, check all the parts of
your equipment and replace
the worn parts. If a more exten-
sive repair is required, contact
a customer service centre.
