Wear Protective Goggles and Gloves!
For your personal protection we recommend that you wear protective goggles and gloves.
Personal protective equipment is to be provided by the operator.
2.4.4 Other Dangers
Should evidence of dangers or potential dangers, not directly related to the clipping of ani-
mals, occur during operation, we would ask you to inform us. This also applies to dangerous
technical deficiencies.
2.5 Essential Operator Skills
Operating the machine safely makes only small demands of the operator. However, it is essen-
tial that they are observed and carried out.
• The operator must be experienced in handling the animals to be clipped.
• The operator must have read and understood the instructions or have been instructed by an
expert in the machine's use and have had the potential dangers explained.
Children are not permitted to operate the equipment.
3 Putting into operation
3.1 Controls and Operating Notes
There are dangers inherent in the improper use of electrical equipment, especially stockbree-
ding equipment! Therefore, before using the machine, you should observe the following acci-
dent-prevention measures:
• The mains voltage must be the same as that shown on the nameplate. The machine may
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 long
as the machine is connected to a power source. Always disconnect the power supply first
when working on the clipper blades/clipper head.
• Avoid touching any machine which is in contact with any liquids. Never clip wet animals.
Any liquid which has got into the machine will lower the electrical insulation. There is then
the danger of an electric shock or short circuit. Only clean the machine when dry using a
brush or the cleaning brush provided.
• An electric cable lying loose on the ground for any distance can snag and become a source
of danger. Before starting to clip, lay the cable out carefully and safely. Avoid any kinks in
the power cable and prevent it becoming entangled. Animals must not stand on or walk
across the power cable or get caught in it. Never wrap the power cable around the machine
and keep it away from hot surfaces and objects. This may result in breaks and damage to
the insulation. The cable should be regularly checked for damage.
• Switch the machine to OFF (Position 0: Illustration 2) before pulling out the plug.
