4. Servicing
Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the power supply; pull the plug out.
Even with the machine switched off, do not handle the area round the clipper blades
as long as the machine is still connected to a power source. Whenever working on
the clipper blades/clipper head, always first disconnect the power supply.
4.1. Cleaning the Clipper Head and Clipper Blades
After clipping, remove all oil from the machine by rubbing it down with a dry cloth and carefully
clean the clipper head and clipper blades with a dry brush. Then oil the parts to
prevent rusting. Even the smallest rust spots on the blades can adversely affect clipping or
make it completely impossible.
4.2. Cleaning the Air Filter
The air filter is to be found on the upper side of the motor section of the machine. The air filter
can be removed from the machine for cleaning. Regularly cleaning the air filter with a dry brush
is essential. When cleaning the air filter, take care that no foreign bodies get into the machine.
The machine must never be operated without the air filter!
4.3. Storing the Clipping Machine
Only store the machine in a dry place and in the case supplied. Do not switch on the machine
if you suspect any liquid has got into it. There is then a risk of an electric shock or short circuit.
Hand the clipping machine into a service centre.
Make it a habit to store the machine between use, store it well-cleaned, oiled and with tension
slackened off, in its storage case, in a clean, dry place, out of the reach of children.
