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 blade and an upper blade. The respective polished blades must be located on top of
each other for clipping. The blades are assembled as follows: Loosen the tensioning screw and place the machine onto a
hard surface, the screws of the lower blade pointing upwards. Loosen the screws and remove the worn blades. Ensure that
the new shear blades are clean. Place the upper blade onto the tapers of the pressure fork and lightly oil the polished
surfaces. Then push the lower blade between the loosened screws. Now tighten the screws of the lower shear blade. Turn
the machine around, so that the tensioning nut points upwards. Ensure that the tapers of the pressure fork fit into the holes
of the upper blade (fig. 11). Ensure that the teeth tips of the upper shear blades are located approximately 1,5 - 2 mm
behind the polished area of the lower shear blades (fig. 10). Ensure that the lower shear blade is not askew. Firmly tighten
both lower shear blade screws once the blades have been correctly adjusted.
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 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!

4.5 Cleaning the clipper head

Clean the clipper head after a few days use. Dismantle the cutter plates. Release both screws 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. Lubricate the clipper head according to 3.3 after careful assembly.
