3.3 Lubrication
Before and during the clipping:
A thin layer of oil on the upper and lower blades (Fig. 4) is essential for good clipping results
and to increase the life of the machine and the clipper blades. All other moving parts in the
clipper head must also be well oiled. Place a few drops of oil on the clipper blades and into
the lubrication hole provided on the clipper head (Fig. 4).
Only use our special oil or a paraffin oil meeting the ISO VG 15 specification. This oil is non-
toxic and produces no irritation on contact with the skin or the mucous membranes.
Poor lubrication is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory clipping results. Inadequately
oiled clipper blades will overheat, leading to a reduced blade life.
The clipper blades and the clipper head must be adequately oiled during clipping (the
clipper blades at least every 15 minutes) so that they do not run dry.
3.4 Switching On / Off
The slide switch has four positions (Fig. 2 shows the 0 position).
Position
0 : Machine switched off
Position I : Slow speed (mainly used with animals that are sensitive to noise, for styling or
for clipping around the head area)
Position II : Medium speed
Position III : High speed (mainly used for fast clipping)
Always use the slide switch (Fig. 2) to switch the machine on and off. Check the switch
position before plugging in the cable.
