Clipping animals can be dangerous and it is advised that you take all possible safety
precautions.
In particular:
•Keep your clipper out of the reach of children at all times.
•Switch off your clipper whenever you are carrying out cleaning or maintenance,
changing your clipper blades, or whenever your clipper is not in use.
•Regularly check your battery leads, connectors and clipper for damage.
(For Servicing and Repairs please see Section 6, page 11).
•Make sure that no objects enter into the ventilation slot of the battery
charger or the battery pack adaptor.
•The battery pack should not be charged from an electric generator.
•Wear protective footwear, steel capped and rubber soled, a hard hat is also
advised.
• Avoid using long cable leads which you may trip over or the horse may stand on.
• Have an experienced assistant to hold the animal and to generally assist you.

A. Battery Pack
•Before using your
clipper you will need
to charge the battery
pack by connecting it
to the charger and then
plugging the charger into
the mains supply.
•The LED light indicator
on the charger will show
the different charge modes (see table below). The light will be yellow at first
and then turn to orange as it starts charging. As the battery pack reaches full
charge the light will turn to green with intermittent flashes
of yellow (top-off charge
mode), and once it is
fully charged, the light
will turn to green only.
•It is not recommended
to leave the battery pack
charging for longer than
24 hours.
•To avoid damaging your
battery pack by overcharging it there is a safety fuse which will cut off the
power. If the charger detects a fault, an intermittent green and orange light
will indicate the error. To reset the charger disconnect and then reconnect the
power supply.
•A full charge takes 4½ hours but a new battery pack will not reach full charge
until it has been fully charged and discharged approximately 5 times. This
means that initially the clipping time maybe reduced until the battery pack has
been charged sufficient times to reach full capacity.

3. Charging the Battery Pack/Battery

B. Battery
•Before using your battery clipper
you will need to charge the battery.
•Remove the battery block from the
clipper casing by pushing the metal
clamps back and pulling the battery
block out.
•Place the battery block into the
charger and plug it into the mains.
•Once fully charged (approximately
2 hours) insert the battery block
into the clipper casing and secure
by closing the metal clamps. They
should click into place
•The battery charge can be topped
up at any time.
•Never force the battery block into
the clipper casing.
•Once charged disconnect
the battery pack from the
charger and the charger
from the mains supply.
•To clip connect the clipper
lead to the battery pack. Place
the battery pack into the bag provided and attach
the bag to your belt or place the strap over your shoulder.
Alternatively you may prefer to secure the battery pack in
your pocket.
•A full charge lasts approximately 3½ hours. The clipper
speed will noticeably reduce when the battery pack requires
recharging. You will then need to stop clipping and recharge it.
NOTE
•“Topping up“ your battery pack by partial charging and discharging will not
cause any damage. The amount of power “topped-up” will be proportionate
to the amount of time charged.
•The charger is designed for indoor use only and should be kept dry at all times.
•The battery pack will gradually lose its charge over long periods of time and
will therefore need fully recharging after storage.

A. Choose the correct Wolseley Clipper Blades
•To achieve the best clip it is essential to choose the correct Wolseley clipper
blades.
•When choosing the most appropriate blades, you must consider;
(a) type of animal
(b) length of hair
(c) condition of coat
•Wolseley offer four types of clipping blades:
(i) A2F Fine blades. Clipping height 2mm. Use - veterinary surgical / freeze
branding cattle.
(ii) A2 Original blades. Clipping height 2-3 mm. Use - horse / clean cattle.
(iii) A6 Coarse Blades. Clipping height 3mm. Use - horses with thick coats /
cattle.
(iv) A7 Extra Coarse Blades. Clipping height 3-4mm. Use - coarse hair on cattle.
•If you are in doubt as to which Wolseley clipper blades to use, we advise that
you consult your Wolseley dealer for more detailed information.
•Always use Wolseley clipper blades on your Wolseley clipper.
B. Tensioning the Clipper Blades
Your Wolseley clipper will arrive with
the clipper blades on. To tension
them correctly:
• Turn on the clipper.
• Adjust the tension by turning the
tension nut clockwise until you feel
it start to tighten (see fig.6). You will
hear the motor begin to strain.
• Loosen the blades by turning
the tension nut anti-clockwise
(approximately ½ turn) until you
feel the blades loosen (see fig.7).
You will hear the motor begin to run
freely.
• Use the marker on the tension nut
for a guide.
• You are now ready to clip.

C. Oiling and Cleaning
Before Clipping
•Oil your clipper blades and motor
by pouring a thin film of oil:-
- into the opening on top of the
clipper head (see fig.2, page 4).
- onto the clipper blades.
- between the clipper blades by
turning the clipper head sideways.
•Switch on and run your clipper so
that the oil spreads.
•Once the clipper blades are well
lubricated, switch the clipper off
and wipe away any excess oil with
a clean dry cloth.
During Clipping
•Regularly brush off loose clipped
hair from the blades using the
clipper brush to prevent them
getting clogged.
•Oil the blades and motor as
above, approximately every 5-10
minutes, to stop the clipper blades
running dry and the clipper motor
overheating.
•We recommend that you only use
the specially formulated Wolseley
clipping oil. Never use diesel or
WD40 as this will damage your
blades and your clipper.
•You may need to adjust the tensioning whilst clipping if the blades become
worn or if you are clipping a thick or dirty coat. Do this by turning the tension
nut anti-clockwise ¼ turn each time until the blades start to clip properly again.
•It is important to correctly tension your clipper blades. If they are too loose
they will not clip properly or they will clog. If they are too tight the blades will
become blunt and may cause overheating.
•Please note as a general rule the least tension you can use to clip the better.

D. Changing your Wolseley Clipper Blades
Battery Pack
•Switch off your clipper.
•Unscrew the tension nut and
remove it together with the
pin and the spring. Keep them
in a safe place.
•Carefully remove the clipper
blades and wipe each blade
clean with dry cloth. Brush
away any loose hair between
the teeth of the clipper
blades. Likewise clean the
clipper head.
•To replace the blades fit the
upper blade (i.e. the shorter
one) on the rectangular pins
on the clipper head. The crank
roller/block (see fig.3, page 4)
must fit into the socket of the
top blade.
•Place the longer, lower blade
onto the retaining lugs.
•Replace the tension pin
and carefully holding the
clipper blades and tension
pin together turn the clipper
over. Then replace the tension
spring and nut and screw the
clipper blades together until
they begin to tighten.
•Before clipping, correctly
tension and oil your clipper
blades (see Section 4 para-
graphs B & C).

6. Blade Sharpening, Clipper Servicing
and Repairs
A. Blade Sharpening
•Your Wolseley clipper blades will need regularly re-sharpening by our specialist
Wolseley Service Department.
•Blunt blades should be removed, cleaned, wrapped and placed in the blister
pack provided.
•Using the envelope provided post the blades back to Wolseley Service
Department. (please keep proof of postage).
•Alternately take the blades to your nearest Wolseley clipping services agent.
B. Clipper Servicing and Repairs
•Clippers should be serviced annually by our Wolseley Service Department to
prolong their life and to ensure that they run smoothly.
•The service department can also carry out any repairs, which are guaranteed
for 6 months.
•Please note that all servicing and repairs should only be done by
Wolseley otherwise your warranty will be invalidated.

5. Motor Overload Protection
•Your clipper has an automatic internal motor overload trip-switch to protect
the clipper against damage from mechanical or electrical overloading.
•If the clipper is in danger of being damaged the internal mechanism will switch
your clipper off.
•This is usually caused by over-tensioning, lack of oil, blunt blades, or a defective
motor.
•Switch off your clippers by the on/off switch, identify and rectify the problem
(e.g. check the tension, oil and clean the blades or change the blades for a
sharper set).
•Once the problem is solved switch your clipper back on by the on/off switch
and your clipper should start clipping again.
•If your clipper fails to start after you have switched the motor on having
rectified any problems you will need to return them to the Wolseley Service
Department for inspection.

8. Maintenance and Storage
•When you have finished using the clipper remove the clipper blades, clean and
oil them, and store in the Wolseley blade tin.
•Clean and oil the clipper head and store the clipper with the blades in the
Wolseley case.
•Store in a dry place out of reach of children.
9. Disposal
•Please dispose of your clipper and battery pack in the correct manner at a
registered recycling facility and not at a landfill site. (more information can be
found at www.recyclemore.co.uk).
•Alternatively, you can contact the retailer who sold you the product or Stockshop
Wolseley directly, who will be able to help you dispose of the product.
7. Frequent Clipping Questions
My blades won’t cut
•Remove them and clean them as there may be hair between the blades.
•They maybe blunt and need replacing with a sharp set.
•The tension might be too slack - consult Section 4b to correctly tension.
•If there are lines showing on your horse you may not be overlapping
adequately or there may be teeth missing from your blades.
My clipper won’t start
•The internal motor switch may have tripped, see Section 5.
•Check the connector between the battery pack and clipper is firmly connected.
•Your battery pack/battery may need charging.
My machine is getting too hot
•Check the tensioning of the blades – over tensioning causes the motor to
overheat.
•Ensure that the blades are properly oiled with the correct type of oil.
