Practice makes perfect
If it ain't broke, don't fix it
A picture is worth a thousand words
If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself

If you'd like a serious answer to your request:
1) demonstrate that you've read the manual
2) demonstrate that you made some attempt to fix it.
3) if you're going to ask about jams include the jam code.
4) if you're going to ask about an error code include the error code.
5) You are the person onsite. Only you can make observations.

In this job, knees are definitely a consumable item.
Good luck!

Good luck and a speedy recover.
Off : will daily exercises like running or anything that makes our feets keep going and doing this job makes to avoid knees problems? I'm young and i do feel some minor problems already.
Defects are simple, our mind is complicated
Alex, you are wise to be considering your health at a young age. A lot of the older techs did not do this and are suffering the consequences (myself included). I would avoid the impact type of exercises, and concentrate on the stretching, conditioning yoga type of exercises. Become experienced with a drill gun with adjustable clutch (before working on your machines), it will help reduce the repetitive stress problems of all those damn screws on the rear covers. I've been lucky that the last 20 years of my career has been as the shop tech and have not had to carry the tool bag from car to customer's site and back. Keep a separate, smaller tool bag to begin a service call, and reload with parts/tools as needed.
Damn, I feel old (retiring after April at 69 years old), but I have servived without any major health issues.
PS - fast recovery, Vigour!

Good luck and get well soon.
