2 Safety Regulations

2.1 Introduction

This section describes the mandatory safety regulations which must be observed when using

the clipping machine.

All persons undertaking work on or with the machine have an obligation to read the opera-

ting instructions.

The operating instructions must be kept safely in the storage case and accessible at all

times.

2.2 Symbols and Warning Signs

Various symbols are used in the operating instructions. They refer to potential dangers or point

to technical information, the non-observance of which will lead to personal injury, damage to

objects or inefficient operation.

Danger Symbols

Warning

indicates a potentially dangerous situation. If preventive action is not taken, death or very

serious injury could result.

Caution

could be slight or minor injuries.

6 Instruction manual C12

Information Symbols

Note

Note, non-compliance with which can lead to operating malfunctions or damage.

Pictorial Note

This symbol, together with its number, refers to the relevant illustration at the end of the

instructions.

2.3 Proper Use

The use to 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.

Clipping other animals, in particular dangerous animals such as beasts of prey and the like,

counts as mis-use. This could lead to circumstances dangerous to life and limb.

2.4 Safety Principles

2.4.1 Power Connections

Only connect the machine up to undamaged, fully-charged lead storage batteries. Damaged

storage batteries can cause severe caustic injuries from leaking acids. Defective installations

can cause an electrical shock or a short circuit. Observe the relevant national regulations.

Ensure that the terminal clamps have the correct polarity, i.e. the red terminal clamp must

be connected to the positive terminal and the black terminal clamp to the negative terminal.

Wrongly connected terminals can damaged the machine.

Ensure that the terminal clamps are firmly clipped onto the storage battery’s terminals and

that they cannot slip off if the cable is tugged. Since the gases released by the storage battery

are highly inflammable and could lead to the storage battery exploding, the machine’s motor

switch must, without exception, be switched off before connecting or removing the terminal

clamps (Position 0, Illustration 2).

The terminal clamps must never be removed from the storage battery while the machine is

switched on (with motor running).

Servicing and cleaning must only be carried out when the terminal clamps have been removed

from the battery.

Never leave the machine unsupervised with the terminal clamps connected. Keep children

away from the working area and store the machine out of their reach.

2.4.2 Servicing and Checking Requirement

Only operate the clipping machine if it is undamaged and in a proper condition. Any defects to

the housing or the electrical cable should be rectified by a repair or service agent.

Illustr. 2

Instruction manual C12 7

2.4.3 Noise Emission / Personal Protective Equipment

Wear Ear Protectors!

Typical sound emissions when working are 84.3 dB(A). We recommend that ear protectors

should always be worn when working.

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 clipping of ani-

mals, occur during operation, we would ask you to inform us. This also applies to dangerous

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.

• Theoperatormustbeexperiencedinhandlingtheanimalstobeclipped.

• Theoperatormusthavereadandunderstoodtheinstructionsorhavebeeninstructedbyan

expert in the machine’s use and have had the potential dangers explained.

Children are not permitted to operate the equipment.

3 Putting into operation

3.1 Controls and Operating Notes

There are dangers inherent in the improper use of electrical equipment, especially stockbree-

ding equipment! Therefore, before using the machine, you should observe the following acci-

dent-prevention measures:

• Observetheadvisorynoteslistedat2.4.1(powerconnections)

• Oneormoreleadstoragebatteriesconnectedinparallelmustberated12V.Whenoperating

the machine from several storage batteries simultaneously, they must only be parallel con-

nected and never in series. In case of doubt contact a specialist.

• Evenwhenthemachineisswitchedoff,donothandletheareaoftheclipperbladesaslong

as the machine is connected to a power source. Always disconnect the power supply first

when working on the clipper blades/clipper head.

• Avoidtouchinganymachinewhichisincontactwithanyliquids.Neverclipwetanimals.

Any liquid which has got into the machine will lower the electrical insulation. There is then

the danger of an electric shock or short circuit. Only clean the machine when dry using a

brush or the cleaning brush provided.

8 Instruction manual C12

• Anelectriccablelyinglooseonthegroundforanydistancecansnagandbecomeasource

of danger. Before starting to clip, lay the cable out carefully and safely. Avoid any kinks in

the power cable and prevent it becoming entangled. Animals must not stand on or walk

across the power cable or get caught in it. Never wrap the power cable around the machine

and keep it away from hot surfaces and objects. This may result in breaks and damage to

the insulation. The cable should be regularly checked for damage.

• SwitchthemachinetoOFF(Position0:Illustration2)beforeconnectingtheterminalclamps

diesel, petrol, etc. This may cause serious injury to mechanics and motor.

These safety notes must be complied with in all cases.

3.2 Setting the Clipper Blades with the Adjusting Screw

Before putting into operation, make adjustments as follows:

Before Clipping:

With the machine switched off, tighten the adjusting screw until the first resistance is notice-

able. Then tighten the adjusting screw a further 1/4 turn.

During Clipping:

The patent clipping system guarantees long-term adjustment. When the blades cease clipping

adequately the adjusting screw should be tightened a further 1/4 turn (as in Illustration 3).

If this adjustment does not produce the desired result, the clipper blades should be reshar-

pened.

The clipping system works with much less pressure having to be applied than with traditional

animal clipping machines. Care should be taken, therefore, to ensure that the blade tension is

not set too high. Slightly adjust the blade tension from time to time during clipping.

Hair may collect between the clipper blades if they are insufficiently tensioned at the start

of clipping. This will have an adverse effect on further clipping progress or make it quite

impossible. If this happens, the clipper blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and

re-fitted as described at 4.2.

Illustr. 3

Illustr. 2

Instruction manual C12 9

3.3 Lubrication

Before and During Clipping

A thin layer of oil on the upper and lower blades (Illustration 4, Items 1 + 4) is essential for

good clipping results and so as to increase the life of the machine and its clipper blades. All

other moving parts in the clipper head must also be well-oiled. Place a few drops of oil on

the clipper blades and pour some into the lubricating holes provided on the clipper head

(Illustration 4, Items 2 + 3).

Only use our special 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 par-

affin oil degrades to some 20% after 21 days (CEC-L-33-T-82).

Poor lubrication is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory clipping results. Inadequately

oiled clipper blades will overheat, leading to reduced blade life.

The clipper blades and clipper head must be adequately lubricated during clipping (at least

every 15 minutes) so that they do not run dry.

3.4 Switching On / Off

There are two positions on the slide switch (Illustration 2 shows the 0 Position).

Position I: Machine switched on

Position 0: Machine switched off

Always use the slide switch (Illustration 2) when switching the machine on and off. Check the

position of the switch before connecting the terminal clamps.

3.5 Malfunctions

See the list of malfunctions in Section 5, “Repairs”, for the rectification of malfunctions.

Illustr. 4+8

Illustr. 2

10 Instruction manual C12

4 Servicing

Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the power supply; remove the terminal clamps

from the storage battery.

Even with the machine switched off, do not handle the area round the clipper blades as long

as the machine is still connected to a power source. Whenever working on the clipper blades/

clipper head, always remove the terminal clamps from the battery first.

4.1 Cleaning

Cleaning the Clipper Head and Clipper Blades

After clipping, remove all oil from the machine by rubbing it down with a dry cloth and care-

fully clean the clipper head and clipper blades with a dry brush. Then oil the parts to prevent

rusting. Even the smallest rust spots on the blades can adversely affect clipping or make it

completely impossible.

4.2 Fitting the Clipper Blade

A pair of clipper blades consists of a lower blade (Illustration 5, Item 2) and an upper blade

(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 pressure adjusting screw (Illustration 6) and place the machine on a hard surface

so that the blade fixing screws lie uppermost.

Loosen the two blade fixing screws (Illustration 7) and remove the two old blades.

Ensure that the new clipper blades are clean. Particular care should be taken to ensure that the

ground surfaces are free of dirt; if not, even newly ground clipper blades will not clip satisfac-

torily.

Place the new upper blade in the guide points of the driving carrier; then place a few drops

of oil on the ground surfaces (Illustration 8). Now push the new lower blade between the loo-

sened screws (Illustration 9).

What is now important is that you adjust the blades against each other in such a way that the

ground surface of the lower blade projects approx. 1.5 - 2.0 mm beyond the tips of the upper

blade (Illustration 10).

Once you have adjusted the clipper blades, set the position of the lower blade and tighten up

the blade fixing screws.

4.3 Resharpening the Clipper Blades

Only work with sharp clipper blades. Replace blunt blades or those with missing teeth. Proper

resharpening can only be done with a special machine and by a trained technician contactable

through your service centre.

8, 9, 10

Instruction manual C12 11

4.4 Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter element is found on the underside of the motor section of the machine. The air

filter element can be removed from the machine for cleaning. Regularly cleaning the element

with a dry brush is essential. When cleaning the air filter, take care that no foreign bodies get

into the machine.

The machine must never be operated without the air filter element!

4.5 Changing the Clipper/Shear Head (Option)

To change the head from “Sheep” to “Cattle” or vice-versa, loosen both head screws. Remove

one head and fit the other (Grease cog wheel, Illustration 1, Item 13, if necessary). Re-tighten

both screws.

4.6 Storing the Clipping Machine

Only store the clipping machine in a dry place and in the case supplied. Do not switch on the

machine if you suspect any liquid has got into it. There is then a risk of an electric shock or

short circuit. Hand the clipping machine into a service centre.

Make it a habit to store the machine between use, store it well-cleaned, oiled and with tension

slackened off, in its storage case, in a clean, dry place, out of the reach of children.
