3. Initial commissioning
3.1 Inspection and operating instructions
The inappropriate use of electrical devices, in particular animal breeding devices, is dangerous! Therefore, observe the following, accident
prevention measures before starting the machine.
• Never switch the machine on without properly mounted clipping plates • The volt specification on the rating plate must correspond to the
mains voltage. The machine may only be operated with AC • Avoid any contact with the moving blades • Always pull the power supply plug
out prior to maintenance work! Do not touch the blade area, even if the machine is switched off, as long as the machine is connected to the
current supply • Always place machine on a dry surface and store in dry rooms • Avoid any contact with a machine, which is in contact with
liquids. Never clip wet animals. Liquids that have penetrated into the machine reduce the electrical insulation. There is the imminent danger
of an electric shock or short-circuit. Only clean the machine with a dry cloth and a paint-brush or brush • A cable lying on the floor can get
caught and be dangerous. Lay the cable carefully and safely before clipping. Prevent the clipper connection cable from kinking or tangling.
Ensure that animals do not stand on the cable, walk over it or get caught. Keep the cable away from hot surfaces. Never wind the cable
around the machine. This can result in insulation damage and cable break. Examine the cable regularly for defects • Set the machine switch
to off (fig. 1, pos. 1, position 0) before pulling the plug from the mains • Do not use damaged shear blades with broken off teeth.Only
use sharp shear blades. Only use the original shear blades • Never insert an item into an opening of the machine. The machine noise can
disturb animals. A kick or the weight of the animal can result in substantial injuries. Therefore fixate the animal sufficiently. • Animals should
only be clipped, when unauthorised persons do not have access to the clipping location • Only clip in well-ventilated rooms and never in the
proximity of explosive materials.
These safety notes must be observed in all cases!

3.2 Correct shear blade adjustment
Adjust as follows when placing into operation:
Prior to clipping: Turn the tension screw up to the first noticeable resistance (fig. 2) with the machine switched off (fig. 1). Then continue
to turn the tension screw by a further 1/4 rotation.
During clipping: Reset the tension screw by a further quarter-turn (fig. 2), if the blades do not cut sufficiently anymore. The blades are
blunt and must be resharpened, if resetting is unsuccessful. Be careful not to overdo the clipping tension. Slightly reset the clipping tension
occasionally during clipping. Hairs can accumulate between the shear blades, if you clip with insufficient clipping tension. This negatively
influences the clipping procedure or even makes it impossible! The shear blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and reassembled ac-
cording to item 4.2 if this is the case. Avoid too high plate pressure, since this increases temperature and wear.
The factory has fully adjusted shipped shears for clipping.
3.3 Correct clipper head oiling
The most frequent error cause for a non-satisfactory clipping result as well heating up of the clipper is want of lubrication. A light oil film on
the shear blades is essential for an optimal clipping result as well as to increase the service life of the shear blades and machine. All other
moving parts of the clipper head must also be well lubricated. Drip oil on the shear blades and into the oil opening of the clipper
head every 5 – 10 minutes (fig. 3), so that these do not run dry. Only use our special clipper machine oil.
3.4 Turning on/off
The slide switch has two positions (fig. 1, pos. 1 shows position 0)
Position 1: Machine is turned on
Position 0: Machine is turned off
Check the switch position before plugging in. The switch must be in position 0. Only use the slide switch for turning the machine on and off.
3.5 Malfunction motor protection switch
The motor protection switch protects the clipper against too high mechanical and electrical loads. Turn the machine off with the slide switch
(fig. 1, position 0), if the motor protection switch button (fig. 1, pos. 2) jumps out (the machine stops). Immediately disconnect the
plug from the mains. The reasons for the motor protection switch button jumping out can be: the shear blades are tensioned too strongly,
defective motor, the clipper head is blocked etc. After a short cooling off period, the clipper can be re-started by lightly pressing the motor
protection button until it clicks back.

4. Maintenance
Turn the machine off and pull the power supply plug before beginning maintenance work. Always disconnect the power supply first before
working on the shear blades/clipper head. Do not touch the shear blade area even if the machine is switched off as long as the clipper is still
connected to the current supply.
4.1 Cleaning
After having finished clipping wipe the oil off the machine, clipping head and shear blades with a dry cloth and remove the hairs with a dry
paintbrush or brush. Then lightly oil all parts to prevent rusting. Note that even the smallest rust spots impair clipping considerably or even
render this completely impossible.
4.2 Shear blade assembly
The shear blade set consists of a lower plate and an upper plate (fig. 4). 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 3.0 - 5.0 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 supply cap
The air supply covers are located on both rear sides of the machine drive unit. Dismantle the air filters for cleaning. Grasp the hollow in the
housing and push the air supply covers out to the rear (fig. 7). 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 and slide on.It is essential to clean the air filters regularly to ensure sufficient motor
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-circuit.
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.
