1. General Information

Please read carefully the instructions given below before using this appliance for the first time.
The buddex is a compact top-rate performance appliance equipped with the latest micro-processorcontrolled electronics. For optimum re-
sults and a long service life it is highly important to use this appliance properly. Please always strictly observe the following rules:
• Deposit and charge in a dry and cool place.
ATTENTION: ALWAYS KEEP AWAY FROM INFLAMMABLE SUBSTANCES.
STORE AND CHARGE ONLY ON HEAT-PROOF AND NON-COMBUSTIBLE SURFACES
• Do not expose to humidity, crushes and thuds.
• To be used only by trained personnel, always store out of the reach of children!
• Only to be used as intended according to the instructions! Faulty operation and improper use may lead to very serious injuries or start a fire.
• Do not press the buddex against metal objects.
• The appliance uses rechargeable nickel-cadmium batteries that have to be disposed of properly according to the relevant national regulations.
• Only authorised dealers may carry out repairs. Opening the housing will void the warranty.
2. Charging
Charging for the first time
Before the first use insert the plug of the charger supplied in its side socket and connect the cord to the power supply. The green control light
on the other side of the buddex starts flashing.
ATTENTION: At the initial operation it may take up to one hour until the green light starts flashing. When after about 16 hours the green
control light changes to a permanent light the batteries are fully charged and the buddex is ready for use.
IMPORTANT: PRIOR TO THE FIRST USE WAIT UNTIL THE PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT FLASHES UP!
Subsequent charging
The buddex batteries have to be discharged as deeply as possible before recharging. At the latest after having recharged a previously only
partially discharged buddex for 10 times, it should be totally discharged to reach its full battery capacity.
ATTENTION: PLEASE NOTE THE INSTRUCTIONS REGARDING STORING DURING CHARGING THE BATTERIES (see above).
Charging by means of the 12 V adapter
In case no power supply is available use the provided cigarette lighter adapter and plug it into your car's 12V socket to charge the buddex.
In this case it is also very important that the buddex is not placed in the vicinity of inflammable substances and objects! The adapter heats
up considerably when used. We recommend this way of charging only in case there is no power supply available, and in no case for charging
the buddex longer (full charge).
3. Use:
A. General comments:
The buddex is provided with an exact timed buzzer alarm, which emits a continuous signal after approx. 6.5 seconds and switches off the
debudder tip even if the buddex is still pressed against the skull of the animal.
The dehorning procedure is activated within 6.5 seconds as a pulse, i.e. the heating process of the burner head is interrupted 3 times, which
can also be seen from the flashing of the red light.
Tip: We recommend first beginning with the rotary movement when the device starts to pulse after the heating-up phase! (Control light
starts to flash)
The start of the dehorning procedure is indicated by the illumination of the red control light, after the light has flashed four times and after a
continuous tone, which only stops when the appliance is discharged after the burning process has ended.
It is not possible to use the appliance when connected to the charger.
