4. Maintenance
Switch off the machine before commencing maintenance . 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 remove
the hairs with a dry paintbrush or brush . Then lightly oil all parts to prevent rusting . Note that even the smallest 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 . When assembling the shear blades pay attention that
the correct plates lie on top of one another (fig. 4) .
Assemble the blades as follows:
Loosen the clipper tension screw and put the clipper onto a hard surface, so that the blade fastening screws look
upwards . Loosen the blade fastening screws 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 .
Now push the new lower plate in between the released screws . 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. 5+6) 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 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!
4.5 Cleaning the clipper head
Clean the clipper head after a few days use . Dismantle the cutter plates . Release both screws and remove
the clipper head from the drive unit . Now clean the interior of the clipper head and the other components thoroughly
with a brush and a paintbrush . Lubricate the clipper head according to 3 .3 after careful assembly .
