   Twine arms can move unexpectedly. Keep hands out of the twine arm path to avoid crushing. Turn off power BEFORE servicing or adjusting twine arms or twine cutter mechanism.

   Stay out of the path of twine arms at all times when power to twine ares is ON.

   Twine knife has two cutting edges. Be careful when working around the knife. It is sharp.

   Remove crop material from knife and hex anvil area.
