Check the switch position before plugging in. The switch must be in position 0. Only use the slide switch for turning
the machine on and off.
4. Maintenance
Turn the machine off and pull the power supply plug before beginning maintenance work.
Always disconnect the power supply first before working on the shear blades/clipper head. Do not touch the shear
blade area even if the machine is switched off as long as the clipper is still connected to the current supply.
4.1 Cleaning
After having finished clipping wipe the oil off the machine, clipping head and shear blades with a dry cloth and re-
move the hairs with a dry paintbrush or brush. Then lightly oil all parts to prevent rusting. Note that even the smal-
lest rust spots impair clipping considerably or even render this completely impossible.
4.2 Shear blade assembly
The shear blade set consists of a lower plate and an upper plate (fig. 5). When assembling the shear blades pay
attention that the correct plates lie on top of one another. Assemble the blades as follows: Loosen the clipper ten-
sion screw (fig. 6) and put the clipper onto a hard surface, so that the blade fastening screws look upwards. Loo-
sen the blade fastening screws (fig. 7) and remove the two old blades. Ensure that the new shear blades are
clean. Pay particular attention to the fact that the sharpened areas are dirt-free; it is otherwise impossible to
achieve a satisfactory clipping result even with newly sharpened shear blades. Put the new upper plate into the
swing head guides and then put some drops of oil onto the sharpened areas (fig. 8). Now push the new lower
plate in between the released screws (fig. 9). It is important that the blades lie on each other in such a way that
the sharpened area of the lower plate projects over the tips of the upper plate by approximately 1.5 - 2.0 mm (fig.
10)! As soon as you have adjusted the shear blades, fixate the lower plate position and tighten the blade fastening
screws.
4.3 Resharpening the blades
Resharpening shear blades correctly is only possible with special machines and by the
specialised trade. Only use sharp shear blades. Defective blades with broken off teeth or
blunt blades must be replaced.
4.4 Cleaning the air filter
Dismantle the air filters for cleaning (fig. 11). It is essential to clean the air filters regularly to ensure sufficient
motor cooling. Make sure that no foreign matter gets into the machine when cleaning the air filter. Never use the
clipper without an air filter.
4.5 Storing the clipper
Between clippings always keep the well-cleaned and lubricated clipper in the supplied case in a dry location, which
is not accessible to children. Do not switch the machine on, if you
suspect that liquids could have entered. There is danger of an electric shock or short-circuit. Have the machine
serviced!
