Because this is a manual unit, the board may occasionally need a bit of help moving forward. If you're turning the handle and the board isn't progressing:

• If the board is moving right to left, turn the handle clockwise.
• If the board is moving left to right, turn the handle counterclockwise. If needed, gently guide the board with one hand until the rollers “grab” the dough.

• Occasionally lift or “release” the dough between passes.
• As you roll, occasionally “release” the dough:
   - Gently lift the end of the dough and let it settle back down to prevent sticking.
   - You can also run your hand under the length of the dough or flip it between passes to keep it moving freely.
  
• For delicate doughs—like tart dough or sugar cookie dough—consider rolling between parchment paper or silicone mats to reduce sticking and tearing.

• Butter that cracks is usually too cold—pause and let it warm slightly.
• Butter that smears is too warm—chill the dough before continuing.
