Old pretty well covered why the knots don't always slip off. I usually flip the knotter up then feed a strip of emery cloth between the finger and billhook and give it a good polishing, both on the hook and finger.. It could also be that the billhook is worn badly. The stripper should contact the hook at about 11/16" from the tip, then maintain soft contact through it's cycle. I've seen them worn such that it will touch at 11/16" where it should but then the radius of the hook is worn away and the stripper loses contact... thus it doesn't wipe the knot. Excessive tension is the other likely problem.
Really, you need to buy a manual. It sounds cliche, but it will help you a lot to read and understand the knotter. Looking at the various pictures will also help diagnose these problems. If you have a problem in the field you can't always run and ask questions here...
