SOURCE: Acme juicer #6001, has a new blade, becomes unbalanced...
Hello, First, make sure the screw on clamp that holds the blade down is centering the blade correctly. Also make sure it tightens down firmly against the blade. Wiggle the blade to ensure it is mounted securely. If this doesn' fix it try your old blade again. If your old blade works you may have a bad, unbalance blade but I would suspect he screw on clamp knob may be somewhat worn and not securing the blade causing it to run "out of round" when a piece of vegetable pushes on it. If everything looks good with both blades and the blade securing knob it could be a worn bearing on the juicer. Try wiggling the motor shaft and see if there is any play in it. I have an ACME 6001 that is quite old so I wouldn't suspect the bearings are going. One other thing, does the bowl take 3 to 5 minutes to stop spinning when you shut off the motor? If it does then the shaft and bearing are probalby ok
Good luck with it...gary

GO TO WARINGPRODUCTS.COM AND VIEW
THE MANUAL FOR THEIR NEW JUICERS.
THEY ARE THE SAME AS OLDER ACME'S
SOURCE: SHREDDER BLADE, where can I find it for the ACME
Contact waring directly or just google juicer parts. Believe Omega
juicers share same blade and it's cheaper. If your handy you can
sharpen you old blade by drilling, at an angle, into the face of each
burr on the blade. Use a 1/16 or 5/64 bit and do it ever so slightly.
