Re: acme 6001 juicer. Excessive vibration and movement...
Usually the vibrations are caused by improper assembly ( it does not take much ) or the rate of feeding material into juicer. feed the juicer too fast and it gets out of balance.

Call Waring at 1800 492 7464, they may be able to help you out. There is not a whole lot involved here. Place the juice bowl on the base first, then the basket, blade, secure with the clutch nut and rotate the cover to lock it in place. Watch out they vibrate, so juice hard produce evenly and slowly.
Omega and Acme juicers will vibrate because pulp is not ejected during juicing. Only suggestion I can offer is avoid soft produce and feed as slowly and as evenly as possible. Been using an Acme for 21 years and did notice a duller worn blade does produce less vibration.
There is a reset button on the bottom of the juicer. You will have to separate the base by removing the 4 bottom screws and adjust the sensitivity of the reset button turning the small screw on it. Sorry, but forgot which direction increases or decreases this. Had to do it on my 21 year old Acme because of the same problem.
I've had one for 21 years and when I replaced the blade the same thing happened. The blade is not supposed to be held firmly in place so it can slip intentionally to minimize vibration. If you bought the juicer new, think back, and I believe you will remember the vibration problem. I seems with a worn blade they vibrate less. The motor is very durable and uses roller bearings like on a skate board. I went back to the old blade, which I sharpen with a drill using a small bit.
Unfortunately, since these juicers do not eject the pulp, they will tend to go out of balance. Juice nothing softer than apples and try to feed it as evenly and as slowly as possible.
test by running empty for several minutes,, should be smooth running. then feed the juicer slowly. I have not seen a problem with what I feed in, solid or pulpy material not leafy material.
Acme no longer makes the juicers, but Waring now makes them. Here is a
link to their website. I could not find the manual on their site, but
perhaps you could email them and ask them where you can get one. They
do sell the filters and a replacment cutting blade for the Juicerator
