8. Switch on the clipper
• Run the clipper briefly to spread the oil. Switch off and wipe away any excess oil
• You can now begin clipping
9. During clipping
• Oil the blades every 5-10 minutes
• Brush excess hair from the blades and clipper, and from the animals coat
• Tilt the clipper and glide the angled cutting edge of the bottom blade over the skin. Clip against the direction of the
hair growth. In awkward areas stretch the animal's skin flat with your hand
• Keep the blades on the animal's coat between strokes, and switch the clipper off when you are not clipping. This will
prevent the blades from getting hot
• If an obstruction gets between the blades they may fail to clip
• If the blades fail to clip do not adjust the tension. Excessive tension may damage the blades and overheat the clipper.
Instead, disconnect the power source and then clean and oil the blades. If they still fail to clip, they may need re-
sharpening or replacing
• If the power source cuts out you may be overloading the clipper. Stop clipping immediately and disconnect the power
source. Refer to the 'Overload protection' instructions in the following pages before you attempt to resume clipping
10. After clipping
• Disconnect the power source, and clean the clipper and the blades
• Store in a clean dry place. See 'Maintenance and storage' for more information

Maintenance and storage

Libretto clipper
• Do not carry the clipper by the power cable. Regularly check cables and connectors for damage
• After every 10 hours of clipping, the filter must be removed for maintenance. Unplug the clipper, and remove the filter
(see Figure 7). Clear the filter under running water, dry and refit
• Before storage, remove the blades, clean the clipper and oil the moving parts
• Store out of reach of children. Store in the case provided or a clean dry place
Clipping blades
• Blades are manufactured in pairs. They must be kept and used in pairs to increase their life
• Handle with care. If knocked, the hardened teeth may fracture and the precision cutting face may become bruised.
This can prevent them from clipping
• Clean and oil with Lister R15 oil before use, even if they are new
• Always fit the blades correctly. Do not adjust the tension
• If the clipper is left on when you are not clipping, the blades may overheat and become blunt
• Blunt blades can be re-sharpened by Lister or by a clipping blade specialist. Ensure that a lapping machine is used,
not a grinder
• Store in a clean dry place. Smear with oil or petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline), or wrap in an oiled cloth
