There is a risk of crushing injuries between the rotating bowl and the dough hook. Never stick your hands or any external objects into the bowl while the machine is running.
Secure the dough knife in the small hole at the arm mounting, #1. Fix the dough hook in the arm mounting, #2. The distance between the bottom of the bowl and the hook should be 4-5 mm to avoid damage to the bowl. Change the height if necessary by adjusting the screw in the arm attachment using a screwdriver. Attach the dough hook by bringing the arm over the dough hook and pressing the pin into the hole in the dough hook, # 3-5.
