i never had a mechanic to work on my  machine  . if  anyone sayes they  don`t touch the tinson they don`t  use the machine .anytime you  change size thread  you  need to ajust the  tinson.you git a build up of  lint  in the tinshon disk it  has to be taken apart and cleaned . i  sublet a  sewing  job  several years ago  and the shop that did it  sisn`t didn`t check the  stitches and they  wer not  tight and had to reswe  all  over again . i check mine  on every type of material  and all the time i am sewing .you never know  when the tinson  spring might slip.

i mad a  rip bit  with 3 bolts . flattened  2 bolts and welded  another to the  head of the 2 with the flattened  sides together . that makes the groove  for the fabric . as far as  your wrist it didn`t bother mine . was surprised  . just didn`t pull the  staples out  mostly 1 side . used my air chisel and it  did better . with  the chizzle you  need a  angle  on the  head of the chisel  and hold it  flat with the wood . wouldn`t  go without it . if  held right it will pull 75 % of the staples most of the time . go cross the staples not end to end .my  air chisel is a heavy duty i got from a  mac tool truck . modified the  blade  with a  cutoff wheel.
