Cool

How do you get the rollers to roll while your trying to clean them. I would assume that they need to be cleaned all around and not just on one side.

I have to clean my rollers frequently. I only know of one method, so if there is a better one, please let me know as well.

First, raise the motor/cutter head assembly all the way to the top and lock the assembly. Remove the saftey key!

Clean the rollers and cutter head.

Kepping your hands and any other items away from the cutter head; insert the safety key, turn the power on and then off. Remove the Safety Key!

Continue this until you have achieved the level of clean you determine acceptable.

ALLWAYS REMEMBER TO BE SAFE!

I'll give that a try. I just can't believe that there is no way to make the rollers free wheel so you can clean them.
