around the machine. This can result in insulation damage and cable break. Examine the cable regularly for
defects • Set the machine switch to off (fig. 8) before pulling the plug from the mains • Do not use dama-
ged shear blades with broken off teeth.Only use sharp shear blades. Only use the original shear blades •
Never insert an item into an opening of the machine. The machine noise can disturb animals. A kick or the
weight of the animal can result in substantial injuries. Therefore fixate the animal sufficiently. • Animals
should only be clipped, when unauthorised persons do not have access to the clipping location • Only clip
in well-ventilated rooms and never in the proximity of explosive materials.
These safety notes must be observed in all cases!
3.2 Blade adjustment with the tension screw
Adjust as follows when placing into operation:
Prior to clipping: Turn the tension screw up to the first noticeable resistance with the machine switched
off (fig. 8). Then continue to turn the tension screw by a further 1/4 rotation.
During clipping: Reset the tension screw by a further quarter-turn, if the blades do not cut sufficiently
anymore. The blades are blunt and must be resharpened, if resetting is unsuccessful. Be careful not to
overdo the clipping tension. Slightly reset the clipping tension occasionally during clipping. Hairs can ac-
cumulate between the shear blades, if you clip with insufficient clipping tension. This negatively influences
the clipping procedure or even makes it impossible! The shear blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled
and reassembled according to item 4.2 if this is the case. Avoid too high plate pressure, since this increases
temperature and wear. The factory has fully adjusted shipped shears for clipping.
3.3 Correct clipper head oiling
The most frequent error cause for a non-satisfactory clipping result as well heating up of the clipper is want
of lubrication. A light oil film on the shear blades is essential for an optimal clipping result as well as to in-
crease the service life of the shear blades and machine. All other moving parts of the clipper head must also
be well lubricated. Drip oil on the shear blades and into the oil opening of the clipper head
(fig. 4 + 5) every 10 minutes, so that these do not run dry. Only use our special clipper machine oil.
3.4 Turning on/off
The slide switch has two positions (fig. 8, shows position 0)
Position 1: Machine is turned on
Position 0: Machine is turned off
Check the switch position before plugging in. The switch must be in position 0. Only use the slide switch for
turning the machine on and off.
