y Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear loose-fitting cloth-
ing or jewellery. These can get caught in the moving machine
parts. Wearing safety glasses and hearing protection is strong-
ly recommended.
y Never insert an object into an opening of the machine.
y The noise of the clipper can trouble animals. A kick or the body
weight of the animal can cause significant injuries. Fix the ani-
mal sufficiently, approach the animal from the front and switch
on the machine already in the animal's field of vision.
y Shearing of animals should only be done when unauthorised
persons do not have access to the shearing site.
y Only shear in well-ventilated areas (dust) and never near explo-
sive objects or gases.
y Generally, never plunge the shearing machine and shearing
head into liquids such as water, soapy water, diesel, petrol, or
anything else. This leads to considerable damage to the me-
chanics and engine.
WARNING!
These safety instructions must be followed all the time. It is rec-
ommended to always use a residual current safety plug when
working with electrical devices.
3.2
Shearing adjustment with shearing pressure adjustment
knob
Make the setting during commissioning as follows:
3.2.1 Before shearing
When the machine is switched off
1. Ensure that the tapered pins of the chicken feet engage exactly in the
positioning holes of the upper blade(Fig. 3, item 2).
2. Screw the shearing-pressure adjustment knob down until the first notice-
able resistance is felt (Fig. 3, item 1).
3. Then screw the shearing pressure adjustment knob another 1/4 turn.
4. Put the shearing machine into operation. Loosen the shearing pressure
adjustment knob (Fig. 7) until the shearing blades have almost no con-
tact pressure (noise level increases).
