2. The machine gets very hot. It is recommended to clean and adjust the equipment according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the manipulations made do not give the desired effect, you need to make sure that the equipment is adapted to the specific task. For example, not all models can remove a lot of hair, overload during their work and lead to excessive heating.
3. Loud noise and vibration when using a wired machine. The problem is eliminated by adjusting the engine power. It is done with a screw on the body.
4. Darkening has formed on the knives... If such areas have a small localization, it is recommended to disassemble the cutting unit, treat the surfaces with an alcohol napkin. Then the knives are wiped dry, the metal is covered with a special grease - the oil included in the kit. With an increase in the affected area, it is necessary to replace the cutting elements.
