Dangers that can be caused by the device1
Danger from electrical current DANGER: DANGER OF FATAL ELECTRIC
SHOCK! Fatal electric shocks can result from contact with electrically live
conductors or components!
-
Always disconnect the charger power cord from the mains by grasping the plug, not the cord.
-
Before every use, check the clipper for externally visible damage.
-
Only ever insert the charger’s electrical plug into an undam- aged socket.
-
Never wrap the power cable around the clipper, and keep the clipper away from hot surfaces and objects.
-
Only permit repairs to the clipper to be made by authorised dealers or the factory customer service department; this ap-plies especially to the replacement of a damaged power cord. XXBefore plugging the clipper in, compare the electrical connec-tion data (voltage and frequency) on the nameplate with that of your electric mains. These data must be identical so that no damage occurs to the device. If in doubt, ask your specialised electrical dealer.
-
Do not under any circumstances open the housing of the clipper. If voltage-bearing connectors are disturbed or the electrical and mechanical construction is modified, there is risk of elec-tric shock.
-
Keep moisture away from the clippers. This can cause a short circuit. If you suspect that moisture has penetrated the device, do not switch it on again; instead take it to a repair shop. XXNever clip wet animals.
-
Clean the clipper only when it is dry, using a brush or the en- closed cleaning brush.
-
Never submerge the clipper in water or other liquids.
-
Always switch the clipper off before working on it. Pull the plug
from the socket to prevent the device from being switched on inadvertently. -
Never operate this appliance with the air openings blocked or while on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where it is pos-sible for the air openings to be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and similar objects.
Animals
CAUTION:
DANGER OF INJURY BY ANIMALS!
The noise of the clipper can trouble animals. A kick, an attack or the body
weight of the animal can lead to injuries.
- Just persons being experienced in handling with animals are allowed to clip the animals.
- Secure the animal sufficiently and calm it before starting work. XXProceed with caution when working.
- Call in a second person if necessary.
Blades
CAUTION:
DANGER FROM MOVING COMPONENTS!
The moving clipping blade and its sharp edges can cause injuries.
- Proceed with caution when working.

Apply a few drops of oil on the polished surfaces of the upper blade.
-
Install the new lower blade. Align it so that the ground surface of the lower blade protrudes approx. 1.5 – 2 mm above the point of the upper blade.
-
Tighten the comb plate screws.
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.
Lubrication
To achieve a well-clipped animal and to increase the life of the device
including the clipping head, it is necessary to apply a thin coat of oil
between the upper and lower blades. All other moving parts of the clipping
head must also be lubricated.
- Apply some drops of oil on to the clipping blades and into the lubrication opening.
CAUTION!
POSSIBLE DAMAGE TO THE CLIPPER!
Insufficient oiling of the clipping head will lead to warming and will shorten
the life of the clippers and its blades.
- Oil the clipping blades adequately during the clipping session, at least once every 15 minutes, so that they do not run dry.
- Only use the special oil supplied or a paraffin oil conforming to the ISO VG 15 specification.
NOTE!
- The provided oil is non-toxic and produces no irritation on con-tact with the skin or the mucous membranes. This paraffin oil degrades to some 20% after 21 days (CEL-L-33-T-82).
- Oil the blades prior to, during and after every use.
- Oil the blades no later than when the blades leave streaks or slow down.
- Apply several drops of oil on the front and on the sides of the clipping blades .
- Wipe excess oil off with a soft, dry cloth.
- Lubrication sprays do not have sufficient oil for a good lubrication, but serve for cooling the blades.
- Immediately replace damaged or notched blades in order to avoid injuries.
