3. Initial commissioning
3.1 Inspection and operating instructions
The inappropriate use of electrical devices, in particular animal breeding devices, is dangerous! Therefore, observe
the following, accident prevention measures before starting the machine.
• Never switch the machine on without properly mounted clipping plates • The volt specification on the rating pla-
te must correspond to the mains voltage. The machine may only
be operated with AC • Avoid any contact with the moving blades • Always pull the power
supply plug out prior to maintenance work! Do not touch the blade area, even if the machine is switched off, as long
as the machine is connected to the current supply • Always place machine on a dry surface and store in dry rooms
• Avoid any contact with a machine, which is in contact with liquids. Never clip wet animals. Liquids that have pene-
trated into the machine reduce the electrical insulation. There is the imminent danger of an electric shock or
short-circuit. Only clean the machine with a dry cloth and a paint-brush or brush • A cable lying on the floor can get
caught and be dangerous. Lay the cable carefully and safely before clipping. Prevent the clipper connection cable
from kinking or tangling. Ensure that animals do not stand on the cable, walk over it or get caught. Keep the cable
away from hot surfaces. Never wind the cable around the machine. This can result in insulation damage and cable
break. Examine the cable regularly for defects • Set the machine switch to off before pulling the plug from the
mains (fig. 2) • Do not use damaged shear blades with broken off teeth.Only use sharp shear blades. Only use the
original shear blades • Never insert an item into an opening of the machine. The machine noise can disturb ani-
mals. A kick or the weight of the animal can result in substantial injuries. Therefore fixate the animal sufficiently. •
Animals should only be clipped, when unauthorised persons do not have access to the clipping location • Only clip in
well-ventilated rooms and never in the proximity of explosive materials. These safety notes must be observed in all
cases!
3.2 Blade adjustment with the tension screw
Adjust as follows when placing into operation:
Prior to clipping: Turn the tension screw up to the first noticeable resistance with the machine switched off
(fig. 3). Then continue to turn the tension screw by a further 1/4 rotation.
During clipping: Reset the tension screw by a further quarter-turn (fig. 3), if the blades do not cut sufficiently
anymore. The blades are blunt and must be resharpened, if resetting is unsuccessful. Be careful not to overdo the
clipping tension. Slightly reset the clipping tension occasionally during clipping. Hairs can accumulate between the
shear blades, if you clip with insufficient clipping tension. This negatively influences the clipping procedure or even
makes it impossible! The shear blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and reassembled according to item
4.2 if this is the case. Avoid too high plate pressure, since this increases temperature and wear.
The factory has fully adjusted shipped shears for clipping.
3.3 Correct clipper head oiling
The most frequent error cause for a non-satisfactory clipping result as well heating up of the clipper is want of lu-
brication. A light oil film on the shear blades is essential for an optimal clipping result as well as to increase the
service life of the shear blades and machine. All other moving parts of the clipper head must also be well lubricated.
Drip oil on the
shear blades and into the oil opening of the clipper head (fig. 4) every 10 minutes, so that
these do not run dry. Only use our special clipper machine oil.
3.4 Turning on/off
The slide switch has two positions (fig. 2 shows position 1)
Position 1: Machine is turned on
Position 0: Machine is turned off
0 – 40° C
