Braun ISIS Cleaning And Care

Application, cleaning and care of clipping heads
FOR ISIS, VEGA, EXACTA, AKKURATA AND BASECUT
Proper application, cleaning and care of the clipping heads is especially important for
the trimmer in order to keep them ready for operation for a long time to come.
Isis and Exacta
The application areas for the Exacta and Isis are special parts such
as paws and faces; Isis is also used for the preparation of biopsies.
However, the machine is not suitable for completely shearing a dog.
Neither the clipping head nor the motor are designed for this.
Frequently asked questions:
The machine has not been in operation very long and now it no
longer functions!
Then the machine is switched on without the clipping head.
If it rums normally, then the clipping head is the cause of the problem.
The machine has a safeguard mechanism and will not switch on if
the cutting blades of the head are stuck together and can no
longer move. This prevents the machine from „burning out".
OILING BEFORE OPERATION
The clipping head must be
oiled before each use. Use the
supplied clipper oil for this
purpose. Add a few drops of oil
directly to the shearing blade.
Then let the machine run for a
few minutes so that the oil can
distribute itself well and thus not
be transferred to the hair of the
animal.
When using a disinfectant,
the cutting head should be
dried thoroughly to prevent
corrosion. After drying, the
clipping head must be oiled
thoroughly.
Please never disassemble the clipping head - it can then no longer be used!
The clipping heads of the Isis/
Exacta, Vega/ Akkurata and
BaseCut clipping heads cannot be
re-sharpened. If the clipping head
is dull or defective, then it must
be replaced with a new one.
OILING DURING OPERATION
Repeat oiling every 5-10
minutes during operation.
This prevents the clipping head
becoming hot and being
overloaded. It would then
become duller sooner and then
must be replaced sooner.
If these care instructions are
ignored, then the clipping head
will quickly become unusable
and will look like the following
when taken apart:
In 90 % of all cases, the
problem is not with the
machine, but with the
clipping head. The clipping
head is unscrewed to test this.
This is done using the Allen
key under the charging tray.
Therefore, proper care of
the clipping head is
extremely important.
CLEANING AND CARE AFTER OPERATION
After operation when the ma-
chine is no longer required, the
clipping head must be thoroug-
hly cleaned. The hair and dirt is
removed using a soft brush or
soft toothbrush.
An oil spray with a small tube
attachment is well suited for
cleaning and oiling between the
shearing blades. This creates
more pressure and the dirt is
blown out and the oil can be
better distributed between the
shearing blades.
It can no longer be used
and a new clipping head
must be purchased.
