3.4 Setting the Clipper Blades with the Adjusting Screw
Before putting into operation, make adjustments as follows:
Before clipping:
With the machine switched off, tighten the adjusting screw until the first resistance is notice-
able. Then tighten the adjusting screw a further 1/4 turn.
During clipping:
The patent clipping system guarantees long-term adjustment. When the blades cease
clipping adequately the adjusting screw should be tightened a further 1/4 turn (as in
Illustration 6). If this adjustment does not produce the desired result, the clipper blades should
be resharpened.
The clipping system works with much less pressure having to be applied than with traditional
animal clipping machines. Care should be taken, to ensure that the blade tension is not set too
high. Slightly adjust the blade tension from time to time during clipping.
Hair may collect between the clipper blades if they are insufficiently tensioned at the start
of clipping. This will have an adverse effect on further clipping progress or make it quite
impossible. If this happens, the clipper blades must be disassembled, cleaned, oiled and
re-fitted as described at 4.2.
3.5 Lubrication
Before and During Clipping
A thin oil coat on the top and bottom blades (Illustration 7, Items 1 + 4) is essential for
good clipping results and so as to increase the life of the machine and its clipper blades. All
other moving parts in the clipper head must also be well-oiled. Place a few drops of oil on
the clipper blades and pour some into the lubricating holes provided on the clipper head
(Illustration 7, Items 2 + 3).
Only use our special oil or a paraffin oil meeting the ISO VG 15 specification. This oil is non-
toxic and produces no irritation on contact with the skin or the mucous membranes. This par-
affin oil degrades to some 20% after 21 days (CEC-L-33-T-82).
Poor lubrication is the most frequent cause of unsatisfactory clipping results. Inadequately
oiled clipper blades will overheat, leading to reduced blade life.
The clipper blades and clipper head must be adequately lubricated during clipping (at least
every 15 minutes) so that they do not run dry.
3.6 Switching On / Off
The pressure switch has two positions. When the switch is first pressed in, it locks and the
machine is switched on. To switch the machine off, press the switch again.
