Putting into operation

EN
1.1. Setting the shearing blade
Before putting into operation, make adjustments as follows:
1.1.1. Before clipping:
With the machine switched off, tighten the tension nut until the first resistance is
noticeable.
Then tighten the tension nut a further 1/2 turn.
Take the clipper in operation. Loosen the adjustment barrel until the shearing blades
have almost no more downforce (engine speed increases). Tighten the adjustment screw slowly
until a motor speed reduction can be heard and you feel resistance when tightening the screw.
Now turn the adjusting screw to max. ¼ turn to continue. Begin to clip.
1.1.2. During clipping:
The clipping system guarantees long-term adjustment. When the blades cease
clipping adequately the tension nut should be tightened a further 1/2 turn). If this
adjustment does not produce the desired result, the clipper blades should be reshar-
pened.
The clipping system works with much less pressure having to be applied than with traditional
animal clipping machines. Care should be taken, therefore, to ensure that the blade tension is
not set too high. Slightly adjust the blade tension from time to time during clipping.
Hair may collect between the clipper blades if they are insufficiently tensioned at the start of clip-
ping. This will have an adverse effect on further clipping progress or make it quite impossible.
If this happens, the clipper blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and
re-fitted as described at 1.3.

Lubrication

Before and During Clipping
A thin layer of oil on the upper and lower blades is essential for good clipping
results and so as to increase the life of the machine and its clipper blades. All other
moving parts in the clipper head must also be well-oiled. Place a few drops of oil on the clipper
blades and pour some into the lubricating hole provided on the clipper head.
Only use our special oil! This oil is nontoxic and produces no irritation on contact with the skin
or the mucous membranes.
