2.3.2 Animals
Danger of injury by animals!
The noise of the device can disturb animals. A kick, an attack or the body weight of the
animal can lead to injuries.
►
Only persons who have experience with the animals to be clipped are permitted to clip
the animals.
►
Before beginning shearing, remove foreign objects from the coat (wire, wood etc.).
►
Secure the animal sufficiently and calm it before starting work.
►
Proceed with caution when working.
►
Call in a second person if necessary.
2.3.3 Clipping blade
Danger from moving components!
The moving clipping blade and its sharp edges can cause injuries.
►
Proceed with caution when working.
►
Avoid any contact with the moving clipping blades.
►
Do not touch the area around the clipping blade while it is still plugged into a power
source, even when the device is turned off. For work on the clipping blade/clipping
head, always disconnect the electrical power first.
►
Do not use damaged shears with blunt or missing teeth. Only work with sharp shears
sharpened by a specialist workshop.
►
The upper blade of the shearing head is only held by the tapered pins of the chicken
feet drive. If the shear-pressure adjustment head is released too much, the upper
blade can fly off and result in injuries.
Danger of burns!
Insufficient oiling of the clipping head leads to warming. This may agitate the animals.
►
When clipping, oil the clipping blades and clipping head through the lubrication
opening provided for this purpose at least every 15 minutes so that the blades do not
run dry.
