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.
