Troubleshooting
Twine is difficult to pull or cut.
Ensure the twine roll is not tangled inside. Check if the scissors are clean and sharp; if dull, they may need replacement or sharpening. Make sure the twine is feeding smoothly through the dispenser opening.
Dispenser feels unstable.
Ensure the dispenser is placed on a level surface. Check that the stand is fully assembled and that the dispenser is seated correctly on it.
Scissors are not cutting effectively.
Clean the scissor blades to remove any debris. If the blades are dull, they may require sharpening or replacement. Ensure you are cutting the correct type of twine.
Rust spots appearing on the cast iron.
