Blade Set Sharpening Instructions
Depending on the conditions of use, but generally after somewhere between 500 and 1,000
tails, your Tailwell™ blade set may need sharpening. This can be done by a professional
clipper blade sharpening service, or by following the instructions below.
1. Remove the cutter head backing plate (part 7), by unscrewing the four Allen-head
screws. The inner cutter can then be removed (see photo 1)
2. The outer cutter can then be sharpened in-place (see photo 2) by filing two teeth at a
time. To do this at the correct angle keep seven teeth to the right of the file. File on the
left side. This will give the correct cutting edge bevel. Work all the way around the cutter
to sharpen all the edges of all the teeth.
3. With the inner cutter removed from the cutter head, file two teeth at a time (see photo
3) keeping ten teeth (half the teeth) to the right of the file. File on the left or right side.
This will give the correct cutting edge bevel. Work all the way around the cutter to
sharpen all the edges of all the teeth.
4. Carefully clean all filings from both cutters, lubricate, and reassemble ensuring inner
cutter key (part 6) is correctly in place. Reattach the cutter head backing plate (part 7)
but only after first backing-off slightly the two cutter tension adjusting screws (part 19).
5. After reassembly, the cutter tension adjusting screws (part 19) must be reset, using
fingers only, to give the correct and evenly-balanced pressure on the cutters (see photo
4). The tension screws lock nuts should then be gently tightened with a spanner (see
photo 5). Your Tailwell™ should then be ready for relubrication and use.
Warranty - IMPORTANT
The Tailwell™ warranty is against any faulty manufacturing, materials or workmanship. It
is not a warranty against failures involving normal wear and tear, or failures occurring from
normal farmer use. It does not cover failures caused by inadequate lubrication, servicing
or maintenance, and does not cover failure caused by use on a non-recommended power
drill. The warranty is void if the machine is used for contracting work, excepting in the
case of failure caused by faulty manufacture or parts. Sales agents for the tail trimmer are
not authorised to replace a failed machine, even if the device is near new, or is required
urgently for use. The manufacturer will repair or replace parts at its own discretion. Any
parts or repairs will be considered part of the original product in regard to their warranty.
The warranty is for a period of six months from date of purchase. Proof of purchase will be
required for any warranty claim.
