Caution
• The clipper REF 5513E must be used with REF 5514 series charger.
• Disposable single use blades (REF 4406, 4403A and 4412A)
are designed for optimal use with 5513E only. Using blades not
manufactured or approved by BD will void any warranty and
patient results cannot be predicted.
• Do not submerse Clipper in water or other solution deeper than
3.3 feet (1 m) for no longer than 30 minutes.
• Do not plug in with wet hands. Do not connect to charging
adapter if clipper is wet.
• Keep charging adapter cord away from heated surfaces.
• Do not position charging adapter where it is difficult to unplug.
• Do not place the Clipper on the charging adapter until charging
adapter is seated on a flat surface or securely mounted to a wall.
• Prior to charging Clipper ensure charging adapter is free of
metallic debris.
• Do not use near flammable anesthetic, aerosol spray or oxygen
— administering equipment other than nasal or mask types.
• Do not expose to hot water, salt water, organic solvents or
bleach solutions.
• Do not use hydrocarbon or phenol based cleaners or cleaners
containing acetone or ketones.
• Do not use with damaged blade, handle, or both.
• Do not replace supply cord. If supply cord is damaged return to
manufacturer or service agent for replacement, to avoid hazard.
• Do not sterilize.
• Do not take the housing apart as this can affect the watertight
construction.
• Operating Clipper without blade could lead to injury.
• Service or repair must be performed only by qualified repair
personnel. Service or repair performed by unqualified personnel
may result in a risk of injury, electric shock or fire.
Caution (continued)
• Except when charging, it is recommended to unplug the charging
adapter from the electrical outlet. This will reduce overall energy
consumption and is compliant with best practices.
• Do not leave Clipper running without applying to skin for more
than 1 minute as blade temperature may exceed 60 °C and
potentially leading to thermal injury.
• During use, do not keep the Clipper blade applied to the same
position of the patient’s skin for longer than 1 minute (these
operations may result in blade surface becoming hot).
• Inspect treatment site for selection of appropriate blade. If skin
irregularities are present, proceed with caution.
• In cases of minor injury, seek medical treatment if necessary.
• Healthcare personnel should instruct patient to avoid sudden
movement during clipping process.
Notes
• Avoid charging in direct sunlight or near radiating heat.
• When not used for extended periods of time, charge every six
months to preserve battery life.
• Clipper contains a Lithium-ion battery. Dispose of at an
officially assigned location, if available.
• The battery in this Clipper is not intended to be replaced
by users. Diagram #6 is intended only for removal of the
chargeable battery for the purpose of proper disposal.
• Do not apply Clipper blade to injured skin area.
Any serious incident that has occurred in relation to the device
