Personal protective equipment is to be provided by the operator.
2.4.4 Other dangers
Should dangers or potential dangers that are not directly related to the clipping of the animals
occur during operation, we would ask you to inform us about these. This also applies to

3.1 Controls and operating notes

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
