Servicing; Cleaning; Fitting The Clipper Blades; Re-Sharpening The Clipper Blades - Heiniger DELTA3 Mode D'emploi

4 Servicing

Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the power supply; pull out the plug.
Even with the machine switched off, do not touch the area around the clipper blades as long
as the machine is still connected to a power source. Always disconnect the power supply
when working on the clipper blade / clipper head.

4.1 Cleaning

Cleaning the clipper head and the clipper blades
After clipping, remove all oil from the machine by rubbing it down with a dry cloth, and
carefully clean the clipper head and the clipper blades with a dry brush or paint brush. Then
oil the parts to prevent rusting. Even the smallest rust spots on the blades can adversely affect
clipping, or make it completely impossible.

4.2 Fitting the clipper blades

A pair of clipper blades consists of a lower blade (Fig. 5, Item 2) and an upper blade (Fig.
5, Item 1). When fitting the blades, ensure that the correct surfaces come to lie against each
other. The blades are fitted as follows:
Fig. 5 + 6
Loosen the tension nut (Fig. 6) and place the machine on a hard surface so that the comb
screws come to lie at the top.
Loosen the comb screws (Fig. 7) and remove the two old blades.

Ensure that the new clipper blades are clean. Particular care should be taken to ensure that
the ground surfaces are free from dirt. If not, even newly ground clipper blades will not clip
satisfactorily.
Place the new upper blade into the guide points of the driving carrier, and then apply a few
drops of oil to the ground surfaces (Fig. 8). Now push the new lower blade between the
loosened screws (Fig. 9).

It is now important to adjust the blades with regard to each other so that the ground surface of
the lower blade protrudes approx. 1.5 – 2.0 mm over the tips of the upper blade (Fig. 10).
Once you have adjusted the clipper blades, secure the position of the lower blade and firmly
tighten the comb screws.

4.3 Re-sharpening the clipper blades

Only work with sharp clipper blades, and replace any blunt or defective blades, or those
with missing teeth. Proper re-sharpening of the clipper blades can only be carried out by
specialists using special machines. Contact your Service Centre where necessary.
