3.5. Tension of the blades
• the shearing blades are set correctly at the factory and should not be altered.
• do not make any changes to the retaining spring that pushes the upper blade onto the bottom one!
• under no circumstances must you remove the two screws on the underside
3.6. 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 lubrication. A light oil film on the shear blades is essential for an optimal clipping result as well as to in-
crease the service life of the shear blades and machine. All other moving parts of the clipper head must also
be well lubricated.
Drip oil every 10 minutes onto the shearing blades so that they do not dry out
as they operate.
Only use our special clipper machine oil.
3.7 Turning on/off
The slide switch has two positions
Position 1:
Machine is turned on
Position 0:
Machine is turned off
Check the switch position before inserting the battery pack. The switch must be set to position 0.
Only use the slide switch to switch the machine on and off.
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 swit-
ched 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 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.
4.3 Storing the clipper
Between clippings always keep the well-cleaned and lubricated clipper in the supplied case in a dry locati-
on, 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!
