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+8
(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.
