Information Symbols

Note

Note, non-compliance with which can lead to operating malfunctions or damage.

Pictorial Note

This symbol, together with its number, refers to the relevant illustration at the end of the instructions.

2.3 Proper Use

The use to which the machine is intended for is described in Section 1.2.

The following applies to safe operation:

The details at Section 1.3, "Technical Data", count as mandatory operating limits and ratings.

Clipping other animals, in particular dangerous animals such as beasts of prey and the like, counts as mis-use. This could lead to circumstances dangerous to life and limb.

The appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons. If used with a cord extension device or portable outlet device, ensure such devices are positioned so as not to be subjected to splashing or ingress of moisture.

2.4 Safety Principles

2.4.1 Power Connections

Only insert the plug into undamaged sockets. Defective installations can cause an electrical shock or a short circuit. Outside sockets must be equipped with a fault current breaker (FI). Observe the relevant national regulations.

Cleaning and servicing should only be done with the mains plug pulled out.

Never let a machine with its cable plugged in, lie around unsupervised. Keep children away from the working area and store the machine out of their reach.

2.4.2 Servicing and Checking Requirement

Only operate the clipping machine if it is undamaged and in a proper condition. Any defects to the housing or the electrical cable should be rectified by a repair or service agent.

2.4.3 Noise Emission / Personal Protective Equipment

Wear Ear Protectors!

Typical sound emissions when working are 72 dB(A). We recommend that ear protectors should always be worn when working.

Wear Protective Goggles and Gloves!

For your personal protection we recommend that you wear protective goggles and gloves.

Personal protective equipment is to be provided by the operator.

2.4.4 Other Dangers

Should evidence of dangers or potential dangers, not directly related to the clipping of animals, occur during operation, we would ask you to inform us. This also applies to dangerous technical deficiencies.

2.5 Essential Operator Skills

Operating the machine safely makes only small demands of the operator. However, it is essential that they are observed and carried out.

• The operator must be experienced in handling the animals to be clipped.
• The operator must have read and understood the instructions or have been instructed by an expert in the machine's use and have had the potential dangers explained.

Children are not permitted to operate the equipment.

3 Putting into operation

3.1 Controls and Operating Notes

There are dangers inherent in the improper use of electrical equipment, especially stockbreeding equipment! Therefore, before using the machine, you should observe the following accident-prevention measures:

• The mains voltage must be the same as that shown on the nameplate. The machine may only be connected to an AC supply.
• Avoid all contact with the moving clipper blades.
• Even when the machine is switched off, do not handle the area of the clipper blades as long as the machine is connected to a power source. Always disconnect the power supply first when working on the clipper blades/clipper head.
• Avoid touching any machine which is in contact with any liquids. Never clip wet animals. Any liquid which has got into the machine will lower the electrical insulation. There is then the danger of an electric shock or short circuit. Only clean the machine when dry using a brush or the cleaning brush provided.
• An electric cable lying loose on the ground for any distance can snag and become a source of danger. Before starting to clip, lay the cable out carefully and safely. Avoid any kinks in the power cable and prevent it becoming entangled. Animals must not stand on or walk across the power cable or get caught in it. Never wrap the power cable around the machine and keep it away from hot surfaces and objects. This may result in breaks and damage to the insulation. The cable should be regularly checked for damage.
• Switch the machine to OFF (Position 0: Illustration 2) before pulling out the plug.

Illustr. 2

• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear any loose fitting clothing or items of jewellery which could get caught up in moving machine parts. We would recommend in the strongest terms that protective goggles and ear protectors are worn.
• Never insert any object into any of the machine's apertures.
• Noise from the machine can worry animals. Considerable injury can be caused as a result of being kicked by an animal or being crushed by its body weight. Tether the animal securely, approach it from in front and switch the machine on within the animals' range of vision.
• Animals should only be clipped if unauthorised persons have been excluded from the clipping area.
• Only clip in well-ventilated spaces (dust) and never near objects or gases likely to explode.
• Generally, never plunge the clipper and clipperhead into liquids such as water, soapy water, diesel, petrol, etc. This may cause serious injury to mechanics and motor.

These safety notes must be complied with in all cases. It is recommended that a fault current safety plug always be used when working with electrical equipment.

3.2 Setting the Clipper Blades with the tension nut

Before putting into operation, make adjustments as follows:

Illustr. 3

Before clipping:

With the machine switched off, tighten the tension nut until the first resistance is noticeable. Then tighten the tension nut a further 1/4 turn.

During clipping:

The patent clipping system guarantees long-term adjustment. When the blades cease clipping adequately the tension nut should be tightened a further 1/4 turn (as in Illustration 3). 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, therefore, 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.

Illustr. 4

Illustr. 2

Illustr. 13

3.3 Lubrication

Before and During Clipping

A thin layer of oil on the upper and lower blades (Illustration 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 hole provided on the clipper head (Illustration 4).

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.

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 (shearing blades at least every 15 minutes) so that they do not run dry.

3.4 Switching On / Off

The switch has two positions (Fig. 2).

Position 0: Machine switched off

Position I: Machine switched on

Always use the switch (Illustration 2) when switching the machine on and off. Check the switch position before plugging in the cable.

3.5 Version 120V

If your machine features an overload protection switch (fig. 13), the motor is protected against inadmissible mechanical and thermal overloading. It may happen that this switch releases after a hard hit and must be pushed in again (fig. 13).

3.6 Version 230V

If your machine does not feature an overload protection switch (fig. 13) then your machine possesses an automatic overload electronics. If the machine in operation switches off automatically, one of the following causes may be the reason:

1. The shearing tension is too high and/or the blades are not sufficiently oiled. Reduce the shearing tension and oil them regularly so that they cannot run dry. If you should receive nevertheless no satisfying shearing result, let the clipping blades resharpen by a service centre.

2. The clipper head is blocked. Free the blockage.

If case 1 or 2 should arise, switch off the machine. After rectifying the cause, the machine can be used again as usual.

For the rectification of malfunctions, see the list of malfunctions in section 5 „Malfunctions and Repairs“.

4 Servicing

Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the power supply; pull the plug out.

Even with the machine switched off, do not handle the area round the clipper blades as long as the machine is still connected to a power source. Whenever working on the clipper blades/clipper head, always first disconnect the power supply.

4.1 Cleaning

Cleaning the Clipper Head and Clipper Blades

After clipping, remove all oil from the machine by rubbing it down with a dry cloth and carefully clean the clipper head and clipper blades with a dry brush. Then oil the parts to prevent rusting. Even the smallest rust spots on the blades can adversely affect clipping or make it completely impossible.

4.2 Fitting the Clipper Blade

Illustr. 5+6

A pair of clipper blades consists of a lower blade (Illustration 5, Item 2) and an upper blade (Illustration 5, Item 1). When fitting the blades care should be taken to ensure that the correct surfaces come to rest against each other. The blades are fitted as follows:

Loosen the pressure tension nut (Illustration 6) and place the machine on a hard surface so that the blade fixing screws lie uppermost.

Illustr. 7

Loosen the two comb screws (Illustration 7) and remove the two old blades.

Ensure that the new clipper blades are clean. Particular care should be taken to ensure that the ground surfaces are free of dirt; if not, even newly ground clipper blades will not clip satisfactorily.

Illustr. 8

Place the new upper blade in the guide points of the driving carrier; then place a few drops of oil on the ground surfaces (Illustration 8). Now push the new lower blade between the loosened screws (Illustration 9).

What is now important is that you adjust the blades against each other in such a way that the ground surface of the lower blade projects approx. 1.5 - 2.0 mm beyond the tips of the upper blade (Illustration 10).

Illustr. 9+10

Once you have adjusted the clipper blades, set the position of the lower blade and tighten up the comb screws.

4.3 Resharpening the Clipper Blades

Only work with sharp clipper blades. Replace blunt blades or those with missing teeth. Proper resharpening can only be done with a special machine and by a trained technician contactable through your service centre.

Illustr. 11+12

4.4 Cleaning the Air Filter

The air filter is to be found on the upper side of the motor section of the machine. The air filter can be removed from the machine for cleaning (Illustration 11). Regularly cleaning the air filter with a dry brush is essential. When cleaning the air filter, take care that no foreign bodies get into the machine.

The machine must never be operated without the air filter!

4.5 Storing the Clipping Machine

Only store the machine in a dry place and in the case supplied. Do not switch on the machine if you suspect any liquid has got into it. There is then a risk of an electric shock or short circuit. Hand the clipping machine into a service centre.

Illustr. 14

Make it a habit to store the machine between use, store it well-cleaned, oiled and with tension slackened off, in its storage case, in a clean, dry place, out of the reach of children.
