I can't help you here.  My Cuisinart doesn't do this.

Easy.  Put roasted nuts in the bowl with the steel knife.  Turn on the machine
and let it go for several minutes.

Cut the cheese into 1 inch chunks, put it into the bowl with the steel knife,
and pulse it several times, a second at a time at first, then several seconds
per pulse.  Don't use cheese that is too hard: it should be possible to pierce
it with a pointed knife.
