Handling the cutter head

Lubricating the shearing head

Generously oil the cutter head at the lubrication point a before shearing each animal, see Fig. A.
Oil spring leaves 7 2 to 3 times daily with 3 to 4 drops of oil, see Fig. C.

Lubricating the gear wheel

Unlock and remove the lithium ion battery 21.
Remove both screws 14, see figure B.
Then turn the cutter head very slightly (about 15°) counterclockwise and remove it from the motor shell.
Apply approximately 1 cm of grease on the two opposite points of the gear wheel 12, see Fig. C.
Carefully place the cutter head on the motor. When re-attaching the cutter head, ensure that it is turned 15° counterclockwise in such a way that its lower flange engages with the groove of the motor housing.

Changing the cutter plate

Unlock and remove the Li-Ion battery 21.
Loosen the knurled nut 11 and adjusting screw 10 by approximately 2 turns, see Fig. A.
Loosen both clamp screws 4, pull off the lower cutter plate 2 forwards and remove the upper cutter plate 3, see Fig. A and E.
Before inserting the upper cutter plate 3, ensure that the oscillating block 13 is in the intended recess of the oscillator 5, see Fig. E.
Insert the upper cutter plate 3. When doing so, ensure that both tips b of the oscillator 5 engage precisely in the holes c of the upper cutter plate 3, see Fig. D.
Push the lower cutter plate 2 below the heads of the clamping screws 4 all the way on to the cutter head shell and screw both clamping screws 4 tight.
Tighten the adjusting screw 10 until both cutter plates are pressing slightly against one another, see Fig. A.

Cleaning the cutter head

The cutter head must be cleaned at least after each day of clipping time or if it gets dirty.
Unlock and remove the lithium ion battery 21.
Remove both screws 14, see Fig. B.
Then turn the cutter head very slightly (about 15°) counterclockwise and remove it from the motor shell.
Remove the cutter plates, see Changing the cutter plate.

Insert the cutter plate and tighten, see Changing the cutter plate.
Lubricate the gear wheel, see Lubricating the gear wheel.
Carefully place the cutter head on the motor. When re-attaching the cutter head, ensure that it is turned 15° counterclockwise in such a way that its lower flange engages with the groove of the motor housing.
Lubricate the cutter head, see Lubricating the shearing head. Adjust plate pressure with GT146 precision adjusting aid (optionally available)

Note
The manufacturer recommends the GT146 precision adjusting aid for optimal adjustment of the plate pressure. Insert precision adjustment aid GT146 19 into the 2 holes of the adjusting screw 10 and turn clockwise until there is an audible click. Knurled screws of older shearing heads that do not have 2 holes can be retrofitted with the GT147 adjusting screw.

Adjusting the plate pressure

Note
The plate pressure must be set with the machine running and without auxiliary tools. If the plate pressure is too high, this results in the buildup of heat and greater wear to the cutter plates.

Loosen the knurled nut 11 and the adjusting screw 10 carefully until the upper cutter plate 3 is no longer pressing against the lower cutter plate 2 (the sound of the motor becomes noticeably higher-pitched); see figure A.
Screw in the adjusting screw 10 until you feel slight resistance. From this point, keep turning approximately one full turn and then tighten the knurled nut 11.
