3.3 Lubrication

Before and During Clipping
A thin layer of oil on the upper and lower blades (Illustration 4, 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
Illustr. 4+9
(Illustration 4, 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.

3.4 Switching On / Off

There are two positions on the slide switch (Illustration 2 shows the 0 Position).
Position I: Machine switched on
Position 0: Machine switched off
Illustr. 2
Always use the slide switch (Illustration 2) when switching the machine on and off. Check the
switch position before plugging in the cable.

3.5 Malfunctions

Overload Protection Switch
The overload protection switch protects the machine from non-permissible mechanical and
thermal loads. If the overload protection switch button trips (the machine will stop), immedia-
tely switch the machine off with the slide switch as well (Illustration 2) (Position = 0). Reasons
for the overload protection switch tripping are: faulty motor, blade tension too high, jammed
clipper head, blocked air filter, etc.
Illustr. 5
Rectify the fault with the mains plug pulled out. The machine may be started up again after a
few minutes by pressing in the overload protection button.
For other malfunctions, see also the malfunction list in Section 5, "Repairs".
