feeding a single pair of twine strands by means of the twine feeding device over the bill hook into the rear recess of the front pair of recesses,
rotating the twine disk until the rear recess of the front pair of recesses reaches a clamping position range in which the twine holder covers the rear recess of the front pair of recesses in a clamping manner, and simultaneously rotating the bill hook by one full revolution to form a loop for a first knot into the single twine strand pair,
cutting through the individual twine strand pair between the bill hook and the rear recess of the front pair of recesses of the twine holding device by means of the twine knife while the rear recess of the front pair of recesses is covered by the twine holder in a clamping manner,
continue turning the twine disk until the front recess of the rear pair of recesses reaches the insertion position,
feeding the individual pair of twine strands by means of the twine feeding device into the front recess of the rear pair of recesses,
rotating the bill hook by one full turn to form a loop for a second knot in the single twine strand pair as long as at least one of the rear recess of the front pair of recesses and front recess of the rear pair of recesses is clamped by the twine holder,
rotating the twine disk until the front recess of the rear pair of recesses has reached a release position in which the twine holder releases the front recess of the rear pair of recesses, and
pulling out the individual twine strand pair from the twine holding device by means of the twine knife.
