Blade Adjustment With The Tension Screw - Kerbl constanta3 Series Instructions For Use Manual

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 (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 reset-
ting is unsuccessful. Be careful not to overdo the clipping tension. Slightly reset the clip-
ping 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 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 opti-
mal 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 (fig. 3) 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. 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. The device can be started up again after a short cooling period by lightly pressing the
motor protection switch button.
4. Maintenance
Turn the machine off and pull the power supply plug before beginning maintenance work.
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 switched 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 considera-
bly or even render this completely impossible.
