NOTE!
Only work with sharp blades, replace blunt or defective blades without teeth. The cor-
rect resharpening of blades is only to do by special machines or by a specialist. In that
case, contact your service centre.

6.2.4 Lubrication

To receive good clipping results and to increase the durability of the clipper and the
clipperhead, it is necessary to apply a thin oil coat between top and bottom blade
(fig. 22).
ATTENTION!
Unsufficient lubrication of the clipperhead causes heating and a reduced durability of
clipper and blades, as well as a reduction of the battery runtime. Therefore:
• Lubricate the blades sufficiently during the clipping (at least every 15 minutes), so
that they do not drain (fig. 22).
• Only use the lubricants prescribed by the manufacturer.
fig. 22
The blades must be oiled before, during and after every use. When the blades of the
clipper are leaving stripes or are running with reduced speed, this is a signal that oil
is required. Place a few drops of oil ahead and laterally on the clipper blades (see
arrows in fig. 22). Wipe off the excessive oil with a smooth, dry cloth. Lubrication
sprays do not have sufficient oil for a good lubrication, but serve for cooling the
blades. Immediately change damaged or crenated blades to avoid injuries.

NOTE!
Only use our special oil or a
paraffin oil meeting the ISO VG
15 specification.
The provided oil is non-toxic and
produces no irritation on contact
with the skin or the mucous
membranes. This paraffin oil
degrades to some 20% after 21
days (CEL-L-33-T-82).
