2.3 Proper Use
The use 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.
Shearing other animals, in particular dangerous animals such as beasts of prey and the like,
counts as misuse.This could lead to circumstances dangerous to life and limb.
2.4 Safety Principles
2.4.1 Drive Connections
Only connect the machine up to undamaged, inspected shearing drive shafts & motors
(shearing plants). Damaged shafts or motors can cause lock up which can cause serious injury.
Defective installations can cause an electric shock or a short circuit.
Make sure to use the correct type of drive coupling, i.e. only connect a worm-drive type
handpiece to a worm-drive type shearing drive (Illustration 1, Item 1) and a pin-drive handpiece
to a pin-drive shearing drive (Illustration 1, Item 2). Do not mix the two system as it can cause
malfunction and unexpected behaviour of the whole system.
Servicing and cleaning must only be carried out when the machine is removed from the drive
(shearing plants).
Never leave the machine unsupervised when connected to a shearing drive. Keep children
away from the working area and store the machine out of their reach.
2.4.2 Servicing and Checking Requirements
Only operate the machine if it is undamaged and in a proper condition. Any defects to the
housing (barrel) or the drive shaft connection should be rectified by a repair or service agent.
2.4.3 Noise Emission / Personal Protective Equipment
Wear Ear Protectors !
Typical sound emission when working are >70 dB(A). We recommend that ear protectors
should always be worn when working.
Illustr. 1

Instruction manual ICON 7
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. This also applies to dange-
rous technical deficiencies.
2.5 Essential Operator Skills
Operating the machine safely makes only small demands of the operator. However, it is essen-
tial that they are observed and carried out.

These Safety notes must be complied with in all cases.
3.2 Shearing Adjustment using the Tension Nut
Before putting into operation, make adjustments as follows:
Before Shearing:
With the machine disconnected from the shearing drive: ensure that theYoke’s carrier (chicken
feet) cone pins mesh precisely into the positioning holes in the cutter (Illustration 2, Item 2).
Tighten the tension nut until resistance is first noticeable (Illustration 2, Item 1).Then tighten
the tension nut a further 1⁄4 turn.
Connect the handpiece to the shearing drive (observe advisory notes listed at 2.4.1) and start
operating the shearing drive motor. Slacken off the tension nut (Illustration 3) until the shearing
blades exert almost no more contact pressure (noise level rises).
Caution! If the tension is slackened off too much, the cutter can fly off causing injury.
Now tighten the tension nut slowly until the noise level becomes muffled and some resistance
is detectable as you tighten the tension nut. The pressure should now be correctly set. Begin
shearing. If it still does not cut properly, you will have to add a little more tension.
During Shearing
Provided the shearing blades are properly sharpened (ground) the shearing system works with
much less pressure having to be applied than with traditional shearing machines. Care should
be taken, therefore, to ensure that the blade tension is not set too high. Too high tension
causes more friction and reduces the life expectancy of the shearing handpiece as well as the
shearing blades. Slightly adjust the blade tension from time to time during shearing (max. 1⁄4
turn).
Hair may collect between the shearing 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 shearing blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled
and re-fitted as described at 4.2 (Fitting the Shearing Blades)
Illustr. 2, 3

Instruction manual ICON 9
3.3 Lubrication
Before and During Shearing
A thin layer of oil on the cutter and the comb plate (Illustration 4, Item 4) is essential for good
shearing results and so as to increase the life of the machine and its shearing blades. All other
moving parts must also be well oiled (Illustration 4, Item 3) .
Only use our special clipper oil or a paraffin oil meeting the ISO VG 15 specification. This oil is
non-toxic and produces no irritation on contact with the skin or the mucous membranes. This
paraffin oil degrades to some 20% after 21 days (CEC-L-33-T-82).
You cannot over oil ! The more often you oil, the cooler it will run and the longer it will last.
Especially if you are shearing llamas, alpacas or other camelides, even more frequent oiling of
comb and cutter may be needed.
Always oil the machine before use, and at least at every cutter change.
Oil the following parts
• eforeyouassemblethebladestothehandpieceturnthehandpieceupsidedown

Do not put oil or grease between the tension nut and the tension sleeve as this will cause loss
of tension.
Grease
Once a week remove, clean and regrease the following parts:

degrees to the fork and pull them out using a pair of pliers. Clean them and the locating
holes in the fork and apply a small amount of grease on the yoke’s carrier shank and replace
it making sure they twist freely in the fork when replaced. If they don’t, remove and clean
more thoroughly.

grease from inside the tension sleeve and from the tension pin. Apply a good amount of
grease to the inside of the tension sleeve and replace it, remember to remove all grease
from the outside of the tension sleeve before replacing the tension nut.
Bearings
The shearing handpiece is fitted with bearings which are sealed and will never need oiling or
greasing.
Illustr. 4

10 Instruction manual ICON
4 Servicing
Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the handpiece from the shearing drive.
4.1 Cleaning
After shearing, remove all oil from the machine by rubbing it down with a dry cloth and
carefully clean the outside of the shearing handpiece and the shearing blades with a dry brush.
Then oil the parts to prevent rusting. Even the smallest rust spots on the blades can adversely
affect shearing or make it completely impossible.
4.2 Fitting the Shearing Blades
A pair of shearing blades consist of a comb plate (Illustration 5, Item 2) and an cutter
(Illustration 5, Item 1). When fitting the blades care should be taken to ensure that the correct
surfaces come to rest against each other.The blades are fitted as follows:
Loosen the tension nut (Illustration 3) and place the machine on a hard surface so that the
comb blade fixing screws lie uppermost. Slacken off the screws (Illustration 6) and remove
both the old shearing blades.
Ensure that the new shearing blades are clean. Particular care should be taken to ensure that
thegroundsurfacearefreeofdirt;ifnot,evennewlygroundshearingbladeswillnotshear
satisfactorily.
Place the new cutter in the yoke’s carrier (chicken feet) cones (Illustration 7 and 2, Item 2) and
push the new comb plate between the loosened screws (Illustration 8). Now tighten the comb
blade fixing screws until you can just move the new comb plate sideways by hand.
Now turn the machine over so that the tension nut is against uppermost.
What is now important is that you rest the blades against each other in such a way that the
ground surface of the comb plate projects approx. 1.5 - 2.0 mm beyond the tips of the cutter
(Illustration 9) at the same time all sharp corners of the cutter indicated at (c) must be within
the indicated area (b)
Once you have adjusted the shearing blades, set the position of the comb plate and tighten up
the comb blade fixing screws.
Check that the shearing blades have been correctly fitted and that the pressure yoke’s carrier
(chicken feet) cones (Illustration 2, Item 2) are situated in the holes provided in the cutter. Now
tighten up the tension nut until the cutter is pressed against the comb plate and you can feel
a slight resistance.
4.3 Resharpening the Shearing Blades
Only work with sharp shearing blades. Replace blunt blades or those with missing teeth.
Proper resharpening can only be done with a special shearing blade grinder and by a trained
technician or experienced Shearer. For correct shearing blade grinding technique, please
follow the instructions which comes with every Heiniger shearing blade grinder.
Illustr. 5, 3, 6
Illustr. 2, 7, 8
Illustr. 9, 2

Instruction manual ICON 11
4.4 Storing
Only store the shearing handpiece in a dry place. Do not connect it to a shearing drive if you
suspect any liquid has got into it.There is then the risk of a corroded and therefore seized drive
mechanism which, if you try to run the handpiece, can cause injury.
Make it a habit to store the machine between use, store it well-cleaned, oiled and with tension
slackened off, in a clean, dry place, out of the reach of children.

5.5 How to
Note: This Section is for experts only. Do not follow this instructions if you are not a trained
technician or experienced Shearer with good knowledge of mechanics. Wrong or unprofessi-
onal repair and maintenance of the handpiece can cause malfunctions which lead to serious
injury, damage and/or reduced life expectancy of your shearing handpiece. Warranty will be
void if unprofessional repair or maintenance has been carried out.
Remove Fork
Unscrew tension nut and remove tension sleeve and tension pin, unscrew fork safety screw.
Fork may now be removed. It is not necessary to remove the centre post when removing the
fork. Reassemble in the opposite order.
Fitting a new ball
Remove fork and ball, place new ball on the crank pin using a piece of wire or a pencil with the
flat side of the ball pointing to the crankhead or rear of the handpiece.
Replacing the tension pin cup
Remove fork, punch out the old tension pin cup. Place the new tension pin retaining spring on
to the tension pin cup before replacing it into the fork, tap the cup into the fork making sure the
slope on the top of the cup faces directly towards the ball race or the back of the fork.
Remove and replace Back Joint
Remove comb and cutter and screw firm tension on tension nut, put a screwdriver down
through the oil hole in the top of your handpiece so it goes between the fork and barrel,
remove the cog from the end of the crankshaft using a cog spanner. The back joint will now
slide out off the barrel.
Fitting Bearing Kit
This is not a difficult job when using a Special Tool Kit (Illustration 11). It’svery important not
to rush, pull everything apart and throw away all the components you will replace. Clean up
all the remaining parts and fit the new ones carefully, taking note of the very important points
listed below, read the following instructions and cross them off once you have completed each
point.

go to hit the bearing “think first”. The force must never travel through the balls i.e.: if you
are fitting the outer bearing into a casing (Illustration 12, Item 1) hit the outer rim only, not
the seal or the inner rim. And when fitting the bearing onto a shaft (Illustration 12, Item 2)
hit the inner rim only. If you do hit the wrong rim, or the seal, it will distort the balls, do not
use this bearing anymore, throw it away as it will run hot and wear rapidly.

Fitting Pin Drive Pin
The pin drive pin is tapered, identify the small end of the broken pin and tap this small end of
the pin with a punch to remove it. Tap in the new pin gently, don’t hit it hard or you will crack
the end of the shaft. Place the big end of your pin on an anvil or something solid and round
off (or burr over) the small end of the pin ensuring it is a good fit into the shaft, finish this job
by filing the small end flush with the shaft. Make sure the big end does not protrude out past
the outer rim of the drive coupling, if it does this will rub on the tube and run hot, file off the
excess.
Adjust Centrepost using a Post Guide
The post has a notch in the bottom around from the screwdriver slot (Illustration 16). Use this
notch as a setting mark and once you have the handpiece cutting well remember or write
down where this mark is, this will enable you to reset the post to the original position should
the need arise.
