The shearing plant must only be used in dry areas.
The details contained in Chapter 1.3, ”Technical data“, are to be considered as legally binding
limit values and characteristic data. The safety check refers only to the portable shearing plant
and not to the mechanical shaft and the handpiece.
2.4 Basic safety principles
2.4.1 Power supply connections
• Never plug the equipment into damaged sockets. Observe the relevant regulations applica-
ble in your country.
• Maintenance and cleaning work must only be carried out when the equipment is not
plugged in.
• Sockets must be equipped with a circuit breaker (FI).
2.4.2 Safety precautions
• Avoid touching machinery that has come into contact with water or other liquids.
• Never clip wet animals.
• Children are forbidden from operating the equipment.
• Lay out the power cable cleanly.
• Check the power cable occasionally for damage.
• Keep the power cable well away from machinery & equipment operating in close proxi-
mity.
• Switch off the plant before pulling out the plug.
• After use remove the plug from its socket. The plant should only be cleaned or the cutter
replaced when the plug is removed from the power socket.
• Avoid kinks or coils in the cable. Never wind the power cable around the plant during peri-
ods of storage. This can result in breaks and damage to the insulation.
• Ensure that animals do not stand on or walk over the cable, and that they do not get caught
up in the cable.
• Keep children away from shearing areas.
• Never use a damaged plant. Have the machine checked for faults and repaired immediately
by an authorised service agent.
• The air intake for the side and lower ventilation holes (Diag. 6, pos. a + b) must be guaran-
teed. Never insert any object into the shearing plant‘s ventilation holes.
• Never shear in the vicinity of explosive objects or gases.
• Never shear with blunt or broken shearing combs and cutters.
• Avoid any contact with the moving shearing cutters.
• Store the plant in a clean, dry place to which children and animals have no access.
2.4.3 Noise emission / personal protective equipment
• Noise emission during operation is in excess of 70 dB (A), as the noise of the shearing hand-
piece is also present during shearing. We recommend that ear protection, safety glasses
and gloves are always worn when operating the plant.
• Personal protective equipment to be provided by the operator.
