1.

Mains connection

Prior to first use check whether the mains correspond
with the voltage on the rating plate 1.
2. Changing of the cutter heads
Changing of the cutter heads is best done with the
clipper running. For fitting press lever 2 (Fig. 1).
Sliding surfaces 3 (Fig. 1) must always be kept abso-
lutely clean and regularly oiled lightly.
3. Care of the clipper
Remove air filter 4 (Fig. 2) once or several times a week.
Push the filter in the direction of the cable by using a
coin. Now the air filter can be thoroughly cleaned and
blown out. Only replace a dry and clean filter.
When the clipper is in heavy use then check the car-
bons 24 (Fig. 4) every 12 months which should only be
done by an expert. If the carbons are worn down to
4 mm (1/8") then same have to be replaced and for this
proceed as follows:
Ø
Pull out the mains plug.
Ø
Loosen screws 6 (Fig. 1) and remove the housing
cover.
Ø
Loosen screws 8 (Fig. 5), lift out PCB and carbon
holder, remove carbons.
Ø
Check carbon length (Fig. 4). The length must be at
least 4 mm 5.
Ø
Shorter carbons must be replaced by new original
AESCULAP carbons, article number GT 104 614.
Ø
Blow out the carbon holder.
Ø
Hook in carbon holder spring at the back and insert
carbons.

Ø
Lower PCB (do not jam cables), then push spring
into carbon and tighten with screws 8 (Fig. 5).
Ø
Assemble machine.
Ø
Fix the cover of the housing again with the
4 screws 6 (Fig. 1), but screw them in only lightly
for a start and lake care that everything is in proper
order within the housing. Then operate the clipper
for a few seconds and now fix the 4 screws very
tightly.
Gear
Ø
When the clipper is open for changing the carbons
then oil lightly the bore holes on the excenter as
well as the two felt pieces 9 (Fig. 3). Use only oil
with the ordering number GT 604. Worm, worm
wheel and excenter 10 have to be lightly greased
with grease GT 605 (Fig. 3).
4. Instructions for maintenance
of AESCULAP cutter heads
AESCULAP cutter heads are made of extremely hard
special steel which contains a high amount of carbon.
This type of steel is especially suitable for cutting arti-
cles. It ensures long preservation of the cutting edge.
For optimal shearing both impeccably ground cutter
blades and adjustment, by means of the knurled
screw, of the pressure exerted by the upper on the
lower blade, are indispensable.
Cutting test
After preliminary adjustment of the knurled screw, a
cutting test should be carried out.
The knurled screw should be tightened only to such an
extent that the upper cutter blade can be moved man-
ually from the side with moderate pressure.
If afterwards the cutter head does not deliver perfect
cutting performance, it must be resharpened.
