Designated use

2.1 Intended purpose
The shearing machine is intended solely for the shearing of individual or hygienic partial shearing of sheep. We recommend allowing the machine to cool down after shearing a maximum of two animals. For mass shearing, we recommend cable-powered shearing equipment.
Important: oil the shearing blades before use and regularly during use . This prevents the machine and the shearing blades from overheating .
It is especially important to keep the shearing blades clean and re-sharpen them on a regular basis . This also helps to prevent overheating. Other uses, especially on humans, is expressly prohibited .

Initial commissioning

3.1 Inspection and operating instructions
The inappropriate use of electrical devices, in particular animal breeding devices, is dangerous! Therefore, observe the following, accident prevention measures before starting the machine:

• Never switch the machine on without properly mounted cutting tips.
• The voltage stated on the nameplate must match the mains voltage.
• Avoid all contact with the moving shearing blades.
• Only place the machine on dry surfaces and store in a dry location.
• Avoid all contact with a machine that is in contact with liquids. Never shear wet animals.
• Liquid ingress into the machine reduces the electrical insulation. Only clean the machine with a dry cloth and a brush or paintbrush.
• Switch the machine off before changing the battery pack
• Do not use damaged shear blades with broken off teeth.
• Only use sharp shear blades. Only use the original shear blades.
• Never insert an item into an opening of the machine.
• The machine noise can disturb animals. A kick or the weight of the animal can result in substantial injuries. Therefore fixate the animal sufficiently.
• Animals should only be clipped, when unauthorised persons do not have access to the clipping location.
• Only clip in well-ventilated rooms and never in the proximity of explosive materials.

These safety notes must be observed in all cases!

3.2 Blade adjustment with the tension screw
Adjust as follows when placing into operation:
Prior to clipping: (fig. 3) Turn the tension screw up to the first noticeable resistance with the machine switched off. Then continue to turn the tension screw by a further 1/4 rotation.
During clipping: Reset the tension screw by a further quarter-turn, if the blades do not cut sufficiently anymore. The blades are blunt and must be resharpened, if resetting is unsuccessful. Be careful not to overdo the clipping tension. Slightly reset the clipping tension occasionally during clipping. Hairs can accumulate between the shear blades, if you clip with insufficient clipping tension. This negatively influences the clipping procedure or even makes it impossible! The shear blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and reassembled according to item 4 .2 if this is the case. Avoid too high plate pressure, since this increases temperature and wear. The factory has fully adjusted shipped shears for clipping.
3.3 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 increase the service life of the shear blades and machine. All other moving parts of the clipper head must also be well lubricated. Drip oil on the shear blades and into the oil opening of the clipper head (fig. 1+2) every 10 minutes, so that these do not run dry. Only use our special clipper machine oil.

3.4 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.

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 switched 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 Shear blade assembly
The shear blade set consists of a lower plate and an upper plate. When assembling the shear blades pay attention that the correct plates lie on top of one another (fig. 4).
Assemble the blades as follows:
Loosen the clipper tension screw and put the clipper onto a hard surface, so that the blade fastening screws look upwards. Loosen the blade fastening screws and remove the two old blades. Ensure that the new shear blades are clean. Pay particular attention to the fact that the sharpened areas are dirt- free; it is otherwise impossible to achieve a satisfactory clipping result even with newly sharpened shear blades. Put the new upper plate into the swing head guides and then put some drops of oil onto the sharpened areas. Now push the new lower plate in between the released screws. It is important that the blades lie on each other in such a way that the sharpened area of the lower plate projects over the tips of the upper plate by approximately 1.5 – 2.0 mm! (fig. 5+6) As soon as you have adjusted the shear blades, fixate the lower plate position and tighten the blade fastening screws.

4.3 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.
4.4 Storing the clipper
Between clippings always keep the well-cleaned and lubricated clipper in the supplied case in a dry location, 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!
4.5 Cleaning the clipper head
Clean the clipper head after a few days use. Dismantle the cutter plates. Release both screws and remove the clipper head from the drive unit. Now clean the interior of the clipper head and the other components thoroughly with a brush and a paintbrush. Lubricate the clipper head according to 3 .3 after careful assembly.

5.3 Replace battery cartridge

• Always switch off the tool before insertion or removal of the battery cartridge.
• To remove the battery cartridge, withdraw it from the clipper while pressing the buttons on both sides of the battery cartridge. (Figure 7)
• To insert the battery cartridge, align the tongue on the battery cartridge with the groove in the housing and slip it into place. Always insert it all the way until it locks in place with a little click . If not, it may accidentally fall out of the tool, causing injury to you or someone around you.
• Do not use force when inserting the battery cartridge. If the battery cartridge does not slide in easily, it is not being inserted correctly.
• A full charge takes around 90 minutes.
• Battery cartridge is automatically stopped when the output power is low ( output voltage is less than 8 V).
• Shearing time: approx . 60 – 90 min depending on the age of the battery, coat / wool conditions, the shearing plate grinding and the blade pressure.

CAUTION:

• Always be sure that the tool is switched off and the battery cartridge is removed before adjusting or checking function on the tool.

5.4 Charging

• Plug the battery charger into the proper AC voltage source. The charging light will flash in green color.

• Insert the battery cartridge so that the plus and minus terminals on the battery cartridge are on the same sides as their respective markings on the charger. Insert the cartridge fully into the port so that it rests on the charger port floor.

• When the battery cartridge is inserted, the charging light color will change from green to red and charging will begin.
  The charging light will remain lit steadily during charging.

• When the charging light color changes from red to green, the charging cycle is complete.

• If you leave the battery cartridge in the charger after the charging cycle is complete, the charger will switch into its “trickle charge (maintenance charge)” mode.

• After charging, unplug the charger from the power source.

• A full charge takes around 90 minutes.

NOTE:

• The battery charger is for charging FarmClipper battery cartridge. Never use it for other purposes or for other manufacturer’s batteries.
• When you charge a new battery cartridge or a battery cartridge which has not been used for a long period of time, it may not accept a full charge. This is a normal condition and does not indicate a problem. You can recharge the battery cartridge fully after discharging it completely and recharging a couple of times.
• If you charge a battery cartridge from a just operated tool or a battery cartridge which has been left in a location exposed to direct sunlight or heat for a long time, the charging light may flash in red color. If this occurs, wait for a while. Charging will begin after the battery cartridge cools. The battery cartridge will cool faster if you remove the battery cartridge from the battery charger.
• If the charging light flashes alternately in green and red color, charging is not possible. The terminals on the charger or battery cartridge are clogged with dust or the battery cartridge is worn out or damaged.
