INSTRUCTION MANUAL FOR BLACK BEAUTY CLIPPER
To ensure you achieve the best possible results from your clipper, please read the
following instructions carefully before use.
The latest generation brushless motor should give many years of service providing
guidance offered in this manual is adhered to.
SAFETY GUIDELINES AND OPERATOR RESPONSIBILITIES
• The instructions contain indications to be observed during setup, operation and
maintenance of the appliance.
• The operating instruction should always be available at the place where the appliance is
operated.
• Only use the appliance for its intended purpose.
• Close supervision is necessary when the appliance is used near children or venerable
persons.
• The clipper is not designed to be operated by children.
• The brushless motor clipper is powered from a 15v DC charger adapter supplied with this
clipper.
• Do not use any other charger adapter and never connect the clipper to the AC 240v mains
supply without the DC charger attached.
• Do not pull, twist or wrap the cord around the clipper.
• Charging the battery pack (if supplied), must be carried out in doors and in a dry place.
• The charger adapter must be kept dry at all times.
• Use a safe dry and clear area to clip animals.
• Never clip in wet conditions or the coat of an animal when wet.
• Clip in a well ventilated area, never close to flammable materials.
• Never put and object into an opening of the clipper.
• Avoid contact with moving or hot clipper blades. Never use the clipper with blades that have
broken teeth.
• Care should be taken if using an extension lead that may become entangled and turn into a
danger.
• Avoid animals becoming tangled with or stepping on the clipper lead.
• Keep the clipper lead away from hot items and regularly examine the clipper lead for
defective spots.
• Wear suitable clothing and eye protection. Protective boots, body protector and head gear
are advised.

3
• Fasten the animal in a safe way, or have another person secure the animal.
• Clean the clipper only with a brush or dry cloth.
• If operating from the mains supply we recommend the use of a RCB circuit breaker.
Should the following situations occur, unplug and switch of immediately and send for
examination or repair.
The clipper, lead or charger adapter become damaged
The clipper or charger adapter is dropped into water
OPERATIONAL HINTS
• The clipper is designed for the clipping of animals.
• Always allow more time than you think
• A clean animal saves time and money. Groom the animal before clipping to remove grease
and debris will help prolong blade life.
• A greasy dirty coat, over tensioning of the clipper blades, or lack of oil can shorten blade
life. Always use sharp clipping blades and have a spare set with you before commencing
clipping.
• Use the oil provided or Liveryman clipping oil. Never use diesel oil.
• Lack of lubrication can result in unsatisfactory clipping results and overheating of the
clipper. For best performance use a light blade tension and apply oil to the clipper blades
every 5 to 10 minutes. Do not forget to drop oil in the hole just behind the tension nut.
• Brush air filter to keep free of hair. Remove and clean filters when clipping has finished.
• Do not leave the clipper running in free air when not clipping. The blades will become hot
and blunt.
• Do not allow the blades to go blunt, these will pull the hair, upset the animal and extend
clipping time
• Blades should be removed from the clipper after use, cleaned and oiled before storage.

VARIABLE SPEED SWITCH
The clipper comes with a variable speed switch
for speeds between 1500 rpm and 2700 rpm.
Because the torque (cutting power) of the clipper
is so strong, it is not always necessary to run on
high speed. The ideal speed for the clipper is the
lowest speed it will do your job properly.

HINTS FOR MAINTAINING THE LIFE OF BATTERY PACK
• Periodically, fully discharge the battery pack by powering the clipper until the clipper stops.
During this process, do not attach the blades to clipper.

• When not in use, it is recommended to charge the battery at least every 6 months.
• Always fully charge the battery after clipping, or prior to storing the battery pack for long
periods of time.
• Store the battery pack in a warm and dry location at a temperature between 5C and 35C.
• Do not regularly use the battery pack for a few minutes at a time.
ASSEMBLY OF BLADES ONTO AND TENSIONING CLIPPER
• To facilitate blade tensioning, is suggested that you do not run the clipper at full speed until
you are tensioned correctly and ready to clip.
• A set of blades is a top cutter and bottom comb.
• Place the smaller cutter blade onto the clipper head with ground face uppermost.
• Apply Liveryman oil to the ground (shiny) surfaces and clipper crankhead, inside the cutter
bracket.
Note: the ground blade surfaces must be free of hair and debris, or this may prevent
blades clipping. Pay particular attention if hands are dirty when fitting clipping blades.
• Place the comb blade face down on the clipper head.
• Push the tension bolt through the central hole in the blade and turn the clipper on its side
and rest on a firm table of surface. Slip the tension spring over the tension bolt and lightly
screw on tension nut. Tighten the nut until you feel the first signs of resistance.
• Switch on clipper and rotate the tension nut clockwise until the sound of the blade noise
changes tone (metallic purring) and commence clipping.
• If the clip is not satisfactory, slightly adjust the tension nut in a clockwise direction ¼ turn
until blades clip. If the blades do not clip, hair may have entered between the blades and
prevented clipping. In this instance, remove the blades, clean blade surfaces, oil and repeat
the process.
IMPORTANT: Do not turn the tension nut fully down and back one and one half turns as
this will result in overheating and may cause damage to the clipper.
BLADE SHARPENING
• Correct re-sharpening of clipper blades can only be carried out by means of specialised
equipment and skilled technicians. Return the blades to Agrihealth or to a specialised
sharpening and repair company.
• Keep your blades together as matched sets.
• Clipper blades are hardened for long life and to maintain a sharp edge. Teeth are sharp but
brittle and can break if dropped onto a hard surface.
• Always clean blades with blade wash store in the container or oily cloth after use.
• It is a good idea to send the blades for re-sharpening immediately on becomming blunt,
this will ensure a sharp blades set at all times.
• Always have a spare set of sharp blades ready for use.

BATTERY PACK CHARGING
• To charge the battery pack plug the
mains charging cable cable into the
socket marked DV IN 9V-12V/3A.
• The blue battery capacity LED
indicator lights will increase
as the battery charges and
decrease as battery discharges
(100%,75%,40%,10%)
• Only use the adapter supplied
for charging the battery pack.
Do not use any other charger.

correct power output point on the battery pack.
For the BRUNO connect the clipper lead to the
12V socket and slide the switch to the left hand
position of DC OUT 12V/3A.
For the BLACK BEAUTY connect the clipper lead
to the 15V socket and slide the switch to the left
hand position of DC OUT 15V/3A.
2. Start the battery pack by
