Remove needle plate and perform Trim via the keypad. 2. If machine is original Red AMAYA and the trimmer does not move, then I would look for see if the linkage to the knife is connected. If this is connected, then I would check if the trimmer motor's cable is connected. If the machine is an XT AMAYA and the trimmer and selector do not move, then I would check if the push pull cables connected to them are not broken. If they are not broken and the knife and/or selector do not move, then I would check the knife and selector motor cables are connected correctly. 3. If the trimmer does move, then the possibility of lint stopping the knife from moving the full distance could be a problem. On the Red AMAYA clean all around the trimmer, ensuring there is no buildup of lint or thread. On an XT AMAYA, remove the retaining clip that holds the knide and selector in position, remove the knife. Clean the knife, selector and also the pin they sit on. We often clean lint off this pin when customers have problems trimming due to the knife and/or selector not being able to return fully to complete the trim.
