ficiently • 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. 3). 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. 1+2) 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. 3, shows position 0)
Position 1: Machine is turned on
Position 0: Machine is turned off
Check the switch position before inserting the battery pack. The switch must be set to position 0.
Only use the slide switch to switch the machine on and off.

4. Maintenance

Switch off the machine before commencing maintenance. Always disconnect the power supply first before
working on the shear blades/clipper head. Do not touch the shear blade area even if the machine is swit-
ched off as long as the clipper is still connected to the current supply.

4.1 Cleaning

After having finished clipping wipe the oil off the machine, clipping head and shear blades with a dry cloth
and remove the hairs with a dry paintbrush or brush. Then lightly oil all parts to prevent rusting. Note that
even the smallest rust spots impair clipping considerably or even render this completely impossible.

4.2 Shear blade assembly

The shear blade set consists of a lower plate and an upper plate. When assembling the shear blades pay
attention that the correct plates lie on top of one another (fig. 4).
