  • Do not leave the clipper unattended as long as the plug is plugged in.
  • Store the clipper out of reach of children.

Personnel requirements

  • This clipper may be operated only by persons who can be expected to carry out their work responsibly. Persons whose ability to react is undermined by, for example, drugs, alcohol or medication should not be allowed to use the device.
  • The operator must be experienced in handling the animals to be clipped.
  • Children are strictly prohibited from operating the device.

CAUTION: DANGER FOR AND FROM UNAUTHORISED PERSONS! Unauthorized persons who do not meet the requirements described here will be unable to recognize dangers in the work area.

  • Prohibit access by unauthorized persons to the location where the clipping is being performed.
  • If in doubt, approach the persons and instruct them to leave the work area.
  • Suspend work until the unauthorised persons have left the work area.

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.
  • Avoid any contact with the moving clipping blades.
  • Do not touch the area around the clipping blades whilst the ma- chine is still plugged in to a power source, even if it is switched off. Before working on the clipping blade/clipping head, always disconnect the electrical power first.
  • Do not use damaged shearing blades with blunt or missing teeth. Only work with sharp shearing blades sharpened by a specialist workshop.

CAUTION!
DANGER OF BURNS!
Insufficient oiling of the clipping head will cause it to become hot. This may agitate the animals.

  • When clipping, oil the clipping blades and clipping head through the lubrication opening provided for this purpose at least every 15 minutes, so that the blades do not run dry.
  • The shearing blades may become hot after prolonged use.

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

  • When not using the clipper, store it in the case making sure it is well  cleaned, lubricated and that the clipping elements are not spring loaded (risk of corrosion).

Operation

Requirements at the place of use

  • Observe the manual (see chapter 3 Technical data).
  • Power outlets in the outer area must be equipped with a residual current circuit breaker (FI).
  • The work place must have adequate lighting.
  • The electrical socket must be easily accessible so that the device can be quickly disconnected from the mains.
  • The charger power cord must not be taut or kinked.
  • Make sure there is adequate ventilation.

Adjusting the clipping pressure
Set the clipping pressure as follows before you start clipping:

  • Turn the adjusting knob in the direction of the arrow until you feel resistance.
  • Turn the knob another 1/4 turn in the direction of the arrow.
  • If the clipping quality deteriorates, increase the clipping pressure by turning the adjusting knob another 1/4 turn in the direction of the arrow. If this does not produce the desired result, the blades must be replaced or sharpened.

NOTE!

  • If the clipping pressure is too low, hair can gather between the clipping blades. This results in a poor clipping quality. In this case, clean the clipping blades as described in chapter 6.7.

Switching the clipper on and off

  • To switch the clipper on, slide the ON/OFF switch to the position I or II.
  • To switch the clipper off, slide the ON/OFF switch to the position 0 (see Fig. 4).

Using the clipper

  • Approach the animal from the front.
  • Secure the animal to be clipped and calm it down.
  • Plug the power plug into the socket.
  • Switch the clipper on while you are in the visual range of the animal. XXSelect the desired speed (level I or II).
  • Observe the animal’s behaviour while clipping.
  • Switch the clipper off after you have finished clipping and pull the plug from the socket.

Replacing the clipping blades

  • Switch the clipper off by sliding the switch to the position 0.

  • Pull the plug from the socket.

  • Turn the adjusting knob in the direction of the arrow until the resistance decreases.

  • Place the clipper with the comb plate screws facing upwards on a flat sur-face.

  • Loosen the comb plate screws and remove the clipping blades.

NOTE!

  • Make sure the clipping blades are positioned correctly when installing the new or sharpened blades.

  • Place the new upper blade on the guiding tips of the pivot lever.

  • 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.

Cleaning
CAUTION!
