3.2 Correct shear blade adjustment

Adjust as follows when placing into operation:
Prior to clipping: Turn the tension screw up to the first noticeable resistance (fig. 2) with the machine switched off (fig. 1). Then continue
to turn the tension screw by a further 1/4 rotation.
During clipping: Reset the tension screw by a further quarter-turn (fig. 2), 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 accumulate 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 ac-
cording 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 increase 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 every 5 – 10 minutes (fig. 3), 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. 1, pos. 1 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.

3.5 Malfunction motor protection switch

The motor protection switch protects the clipper against too high mechanical and electrical loads. Turn the machine off with the slide switch
(fig. 1, position 0), if the motor protection switch button (fig. 1, pos. 2) jumps out (the machine stops). Immediately disconnect the
plug from the mains. The reasons for the motor protection switch button jumping out can be: the shear blades are tensioned too strongly,
defective motor, the clipper head is blocked etc. After a short cooling off period, the clipper can be re-started by lightly pressing the motor
protection button until it clicks back.
