2.3 Proper Use

The use to which the machine is intended for is described in Section 1.2.
The following applies to safe operation:
The details at Section 1.3, "Technical Data", count as mandatory operating limits and ratings.
Clipping other animals, in particular dangerous animals such as beasts of prey and the like,
counts as mis-use. This could lead to circumstances dangerous to life and limb.
2.4 Safety Principles
2.4.1 Power Connections
Only connect the machine up to undamaged, fully-charged lead storage batteries. Damaged
storage batteries can cause severe caustic injuries from leaking acids. Defective installations
can cause an electrical shock or a short circuit. Observe the relevant national regulations.
Ensure that the terminal clamps have the correct polarity, i.e. the red terminal clamp must
be connected to the positive terminal and the black terminal clamp to the negative terminal.
Wrongly connected terminals can damaged the machine.
Ensure that the terminal clamps are firmly clipped onto the storage battery's terminals and
that they cannot slip off if the cable is tugged. Since the gases released by the storage battery
are highly inflammable and could lead to the storage battery exploding, the machine's motor
switch must, without exception, be switched off before connecting or removing the terminal
clamps (Position 0, Illustration 2).
The terminal clamps must never be removed from the storage battery while the machine is
switched on (with motor running).
Illustr. 2
Servicing and cleaning must only be carried out when the terminal clamps have been removed
from the battery.
Never leave the machine unsupervised with the terminal clamps connected. Keep children
away from the working area and store the machine out of their reach.
2.4.2 Servicing and Checking Requirement
Only operate the clipping machine if it is undamaged and in a proper condition. Any defects to
the housing or the electrical cable should be rectified by a repair or service agent.
