4.2 Shear blade assembly
The shear blade set consists of a lower plate (fig. 4, pos. 2) and an upper plate (fig. 4,
pos.1). When assembling the shear blades pay attention that the correct plates lie on top
of one another. Assemble the blades as follows: Loosen the clipper tension screw (fig. 5)
and put the clipper onto a hard surface, so that the blade fastening screws look upwards.
Loosen the blade fastening screws (fig. 6) and remove the two old blades. Ensure that the
new shear blades are clean. Pay particular attention to the fact that the sharpened areas
are dirt-free; it is otherwise impossible to achieve a satisfactory clipping result even with
newly sharpened shear blades. Put the new upper plate into the swing head guides and
then put some drops of oil onto the sharpened areas (fig. 7). Now push the new lower
plate in between the released screws (fig. 8). It is important that the blades lie on each
other in such a way that the sharpened area of the lower plate projects over the tips of
the upper plate by approximately 1.5 - 2.0 mm (fig. 8)! As soon as you have adjusted the
shear blades, fixate the lower plate position and tighten the blade fastening screws.
4.3 Resharpening the blades
Resharpening shear blades correctly is only possible with special machines and by the
specialised trade. Only use sharp shear blades. Defective blades with broken off teeth or
blunt blades must be replaced.
4.4 Cleaning the air filter
The air supply covers are located on both rear sides of the machine drive unit. Dismantle
the air filters for cleaning (fig. 9). Grasp the hollow in the housing (fig. 9, pos. 1) and
push the air supply covers out to the rear.Blow out the filter fabric in the supply air cover
from inwards to outwards. Align the covers on the upper edge of the drive housing (fig. 9,
pos. 2) and slide on.It is essential to clean the air filters regularly to ensure sufficient mo-
tor cooling. Make sure that no foreign matter gets into the machine when cleaning the air
filter. Never use the clipper without an air filter.
4.5 Storing the clipper
Between clippings always keep the well-cleaned and lubricated clipper in the supplied case
in a dry location, which is not accessible to children. Do not switch the machine on, if you
suspect that liquids could have entered. There is danger of an electric shock or short-cir-
cuit. Have the machine serviced!
4.6 Cleaning the clipper head
Clean the clipper head after a few days use. Dismantle the cutter plates (fig. 5-8). Release
both screws (spare parts list pos. 22) (Phillips screwdriver Ph2 not contained in the scope
of delivery) and remove the clipper head from the drive unit. Now clean the interior of the
clipper head and the other components thoroughly with a brush and a paintbrush. Grease
the gears on the eccentric shaft (spare parts list pos. 8) and on the drive unit (spare
parts list pos. 37) at least at 2 opposite locations with ball bearing grease (viscosity max.
80 mm2/s according to DIN 51562 T1)Lubricate the clipper head according to 3.3 after
careful assembly.
