• An electric cable lying loose on the ground for any distance can snag and become a
source of danger. Before starting to shear, lay the cable out carefully and safely. Avoid
any kinks in the power cable and prevent it becoming entangled. Animals must not stand
on or walk across the power cable or get caught in it. Never wrap the power cable
around the machine and keep it away from hot surfaces and objects. This may result in
breaks and damage to the insulation. The cable should be regularly checked for damage.
• Switch the machine to OFF (Position 0: Illustration 2) before connecting the terminal
clamps to the storage battery or removing them from it.
• Only use original shearing blades. Do not use damaged shearing blades with blunt,

missing or broken off teeth. Only work using sharp shearing blades, ground in a specialist
workshop.
• Look out for foreign bodies (wire, wood, etc.) in the fleece and remove them before
beginning to shear.
• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear any loose fitting clothing or items of jewellery
which could get caught up in moving machine parts. We would recommend in the
strongest terms that protective goggles and ear protectors are worn.
• Never insert any object into any of the machine's apertures.
• Noise from the machine can worry animals. Considerable injury can be caused as a
result of being kicked by an animal or being crushed by its body weight. Tether the animal
securely, approach it from in front and switch the machine on within the animals' range of
vision.
• Animals should only be shorn if unauthorised persons have been excluded from the
shearing area.
• Only shear in well-ventilated spaces (dust) and never near objects or gases likely to
explode.
• Generally, never plunge the clipper and clipperhead into liquids such as water, soapy
water, diesel, petrol, etc. This may cause serious injury to mechanics and motor.
These safety notes must be complied with in all cases.

3.2 Shearing Adjustment using the Tension Nut

Before putting into operation, make adjustments as follows:
Before shearing:
With the machine switched off: ensure that the pressure yoke's carrier cone pins mesh
precisely into the positioning holes in the cutter (Illustration 3, Item 2). Tighten the tension nut
until resistance is first noticeable (Illustration 3, Item 1). Then tighten the tension nut a further
1/4 turn.
Illustr. 3/6
Start operating the shearing machine. Slacken off the tension nut (Illustration 6) until the
shearing blades exert almost no more contact pressure (noise level rises).
Caution! If the tension nut is slackened off too much, the cutter can fly off causing injury.
Now tighten the tension nut slowly until the noise level becomes muffled and some resistance
is detectable as you tighten the tension nut. The pressure should now be correctly set. Begin
shearing. If it still does not cut properly you will have to add a little more tension.
