6 Operation
6.1 Requirements at the place of use
• Observe the manual (see chapter Specifications).
• Outdoor electrical sockets must be fitted with a residual current device (RCD).
• The work place must have adequate lighting.
• The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the device can be quickly
disconnected from the mains.
• The cable must not be taut or kinked.
• Make sure there is adequate ventilation.
6.2 Adjusting the clipping pressure
Fig. 3
►
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.
►
If the clipping pressure is too low, hair can gather between the clipping blades. This
results in a poor clipping quality. In this case, clean the clipping blades as described in
chapter 6.7.

Set the clipping pressure as follows before you start
clipping:
Before beginning shearing when the machine
is switched off, check to make sure that the
tapered pins of the chicken feet drive exactly
engage in the positioning holes of the upper
blade.
Turn the adjusting knob in the direction of the
arrow until you feel resistance.
Turn the knob another 1/4 turn in the direction
of the arrow.
If the clipping quality deteriorates, increase the
clipping pressure by turning the adjusting knob
another 1/4 turn in the direction of the arrow.
If this does not produce the desired result, the
blades must be replaced or sharpened.
