Wear Protective Goggles and Gloves! For your personal protection we recommend that you wear protective goggles and gloves. Personal protective equipment is to be provided by the operator. 2.4.4 Other Dangers Should evidence of dangers or potential dangers, not directly related to the shearing of animals, occur during operation, we would ask you to inform us.
• Only use original shearing blades. Do not use damaged shearing blades with blunt, missing or broken off teeth. Only work using sharp shearing blades, ground in a specialist workshop. • We recommend you use a comb for no longer than an hour and a cutter for no longer than 15 minutes before you change them for a sharp comb and cutter.
Hair may collect between the shear blades, if the tension nut is insufficiently tightened at the start of shearing. This will have an adverse effect on further shearing progress or make it quite impossible. If this happens, the shear blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and re-fitted as described at 4.2.
4 Servicing Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the power supply; pull the plug out. Even with the machine switched off, do not handle the area round the shearing blades as long as the machine is still connected to a power source. Whenever working on the shearing blades/shearing head, always first disconnect the power supply.
It is designed to give longevity and high performance. If spare parts are used during the life of this product, please ensure that they are genuine Heiniger parts.
