2.4.3 Noise Emission / Personal Protective Equipment

Wear Ear Protectors!
Typical sound emissions when working are 84.3 dB(A). We recommend that ear protectors
should always be worn when working.
Wear Protective Goggles and Gloves!
For your personal protection we recommend that you wear protective goggles and gloves.
Personal protective equipment is to be provided by the operator.

2.4.4 Other Dangers

Should evidence of dangers or potential dangers, not directly related to the clipping of ani-
mals, occur during operation, we would ask you to inform us. This also applies to dangerous
technical deficiencies.

2.5 Essential Operator Skills

Operating the machine safely makes only small demands of the operator. However, it is essen-
tial that they are observed and carried out.
• The operator must be experienced in handling the animals to be clipped.
• The operator must have read and understood the instructions or have been instructed by an
expert in the machine's use and have had the potential dangers explained.
Children are not permitted to operate the equipment.

3 Putting into operation

3.1 Controls and Operating Notes

There are dangers inherent in the improper use of electrical equipment, especially stockbree-
ding equipment! Therefore, before using the machine, you should observe the following acci-
dent-prevention measures:
• Observe the advisory notes listed at 2.4.1 (power connections)
• One or more lead storage batteries connected in parallel must be rated 12V. When operating
the machine from several storage batteries simultaneously, they must only be parallel con-
nected and never in series. In case of doubt contact a specialist.
• Avoid all contact with the moving clipper blades.
• Even when the machine is switched off, do not handle the area of the clipper blades as long
as the machine is connected to a power source. Always disconnect the power supply first
when working on the clipper blades/clipper head.
• Avoid touching any machine which is in contact with any liquids. Never clip wet animals.
Any liquid which has got into the machine will lower the electrical insulation. There is then
the danger of an electric shock or short circuit. Only clean the machine when dry using a
brush or the cleaning brush provided.
