Have you tried putting a drop or two of oil at the spot where the
metal is rubbing? I would suggest either olive oil or mineral
oil. After you do that, try running a scrap piece of pasta dough
through it a couple of times to absorb the remnants of the metal
filings and black yuckies. Then be sure to throw that piece of
dough away. LOL That should take care of your problem. If not,
you may need to contact the manufacturer.
