5. Wrapping large sisal twine a full turn around the indicator may cause the twine to cling to itself and break or cause excessive twine tension.

   Large Sisal Twine: Route twine around indicators (E) as shown, without making a full turn.

6. Route twine from indicators (E) through guides (F).

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