3.5. Tension of the blades
• the shearing blades are set correctly at the factory and should not be altered .
• do not make any changes to the retaining spring that pushes the upper blade onto the bottom one!
• under no circumstances must you remove the two screws on the underside
3.6. Correct clipper head oiling
The most frequent error cause for a non-satisfactory clipping result as well heating up of the clipper is want
of lubrication . A light oil film on the shear blades is essential for an optimal clipping result as well as to in-
crease the service life of the shear blades and machine . All other moving parts of the clipper head must also
be well lubricated . Drip oil every 10 minutes onto the shearing blades so that they do not dry out
as they operate. Only use our special clipper machine oil .
3.7 Turning on/off
The slide switch has two positions
Position 1: Machine is turned on
Position 0: Machine is turned off
Check the switch position before inserting the battery pack . The switch must be set to position 0 .
Only use the slide switch to switch the machine on and off .
4. Maintenance
Switch off the machine before commencing maintenance . 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 swit-
ched 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 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 .
4.3 Storing the clipper
Between clippings always keep the well-cleaned and lubricated clipper in the supplied case in a dry locati-
on, 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!
