6 Operation

WARNING!
Incorrect operation may cause damage on persons or objects. Therefore:

• Do all the steps of operation according to the indications in this instruction manual.

6.1 Initial start-up
6.1.1 Setting up the charging station

• Observe all technical data according to the operating conditions (3 Technical Data).
• The installation surface must be even and must dispose of sufficient stability and payload.
• The location of installation must be protected against humidity and rain.
• Power outlets in the outer area must be equipped with a residual current circuit breaker (FI).
• The workplace must dispose of sufficient illumination and ventilation.
• The location of installation must be out of reach of children.

1.  Place the charging station on a firm, even, dry, clean and free underground.

2. Plug the charging station in the power outlet.
   
   Fig. 10****

3. Place the clipper, with the battery inserted, in the charging station so that the upper part of the clipper is facing towards you and the contacts on the clipper are resting against the contacts of the charging station. The part with the switch is the upper part of the clipper (Fig. 10).

4. During the charging process the LED indicator lamp stays lit red continuously. Once the charging process is complete the LED indicator lamp
   stays lit green continuously. and the clipper is ready to use. This charging station has an LED indicator lamp.

6.1.2 Charge battery

1. Test the contacts of the clipper (1) and the battery (2) for foreign particles and contamination.

2. Assure, that the switch lever of the clipper is in OFF-position (“0”) (fig. 4).
   
   Fig. 11****

3. Insert the battery (2) in the clipper (3), until the battery interlock (1) is engaged on both sides.
   
   Fig. 12

6.1.3 Fitting the clipper-head

1. If the blade hinge (2) is accidentally closed, lift the latter up using a screwdriver (1) while simultaneously pressing the blade lock.

Fig. 13

2. Fit the clipperhead (1) on the open blade hinge (2).

Fig. 14

3. Fold the clipperhead (2) by light pressure on to the clipper (1) which is switched on.

Fig. 15

4. Make sure, that the clipperhead (1) is engaged firmly.

Fig. 16

NOTE!
For proper operation make sure that the clipperhead (1) is engaged correctly

6.2 Activities during operation

6.2.1 Clipping

1. Fix and calm the animal sufficiently before clipping.
2. Switch on the clipper already in the field of vision of the animal.
3. Approach to the animal from ahead.
4. During clipping, look at the behaviour of the animal.

6.2.2 Changing the battery
When the battery is unloaded, the clipper is turned off by a protective circuit.

1. Move the switch to position “0” (fig.4).
2. Push the battery interlock (2) on both sides inward and pull the battery (1) out of the clipper.
3. Insert charged battery (1) into the shearer (2), until the battery lock is locked in on both sides.

6.2.3 Changing the clipper-head

1. Move the switch to position “0” (fig.4).

Fig. 17

2. Push the interlock clipperhead.
   
   Fig. 18

3. Fold the clipperhead ahead when the interlock clipperhead is pressed.

Fig. 19

4. Take off the clipperhead.
5. Clean the opened hinge by the help of the provided brush.

Fig. 20

6. Fit the favoured clipperhead to the blade hinge and fold it on to the switched-on clipper by light pressure. (fig. 14, 15, 16).

NOTE!
Only work with sharp blades, replace blunt or defective blades without teeth.
The correct resharpening of blades is only to do by special machines or by a
specialist. In that case, contact your service centre.

6.2.4 Lubrication
To receive good clipping results and to increase the durability of the clipper and the clipperhead, it is necessary to apply a thin oil coat between top and bottom blade (fig. 21).
CAUTION!
Unsufficient lubrication of the clipperhead causes heating and a reduced durability of clipper and blades, as well as a reduction of the battery runtime.
Therefore:

• * Lubricate the blades sufficiently during the clipping (at least every 15 minutes), so that they do not drain (fig. 21).

  • Only use the lubricants prescribed by the manufacturer.

NOTE!
Only use our special oil or a paraffin oil meeting the ISO VG 15 specification.
The provided oil is non-toxic and produces no irritation on contact with the skin or the mucous membranes. This paraffin oil degrades to some 20% after 21 days (CEL-L-33-T-82).

Fig. 21
The blades must be oiled before, during and after every use. When the blades of the clipper are leaving stripes or are running with reduced speed, this is a signal that oil is required. Place a few drops of oil ahead and laterally on the clipper blades (see arrows in fig. 21). Wipe off the excessive oil with a smooth, dry cloth. Lubrication sprays do not have sufficient oil for a good lubrication, but serve for cooling the blades. Immediately change damaged or crenated blades to avoid injuries.
CAUTION!
Remove all the leaking, used up or excessive grease from all the lubrication points, and it is to be disposed in accordance with the local regulations.

6.2.5 Cleaning
To receive good clipping results and to increase the durability of the clipper and the clipperhead, it is necessary to apply a thin oil coat between top and bottom blade (6.2.4 Lubrication).
Clipperhead and hinge
Clean clipperheads und hinge between the different clippings.

1. Disconnect the charging station from the power supply.
2. If necessary, take away hairs from both charging cavities.
3. Wipe the contacts (1) clean with a dry cloth.

Fig. 22

Contacts
Clean the contacts of the battery and the shearer with a dry cloth as necessary.

6.2.6 Battery clip

The battery clip is for storage of the second battery. The battery clip (1) clicks into the charging station (2). Use of the battery clip is optional.

Fig. 23

1. Insert the battery as shown, with the contacts facing downwards. Either insertion orientation can be used.

Fig. 24

NOTE!
If not using daily, store shearer and charging station in the packaging supplied with them. When in use daily, we recommend to put clipper and reserve battery in the charging station.
