How can I get the blade?
  • 1 of 6: The control panel nearest the door operates a machine mounted to the ceiling.
  • 2 of 6: To turn it on, use the light blue card on the wall sensor.
  • 3 of 6: Several buttons control the actions of the machine. One lowers it closer to the table.
  • 4 of 6: Push another button. Aha! Something dropped down from the head of the machine. Go take a look.
  • 5 of 6: Another button loosens the blades from the machine.
  • 6 of 6: Push it and then click on the blades again to get one.
