NOTE: When using the baler for dry, slick crops such as straw or flax, use one of holes (4-5-6 or 10-11-12).

In this case, twine knife must be relocated in position (B) as shown.

When using the baler in normal operating conditions, use one of holes (1-2-3 or 7-8-9) and the position (A) for twine knife.
