3.3 Dangers that can be caused by the device

3.3.1 Danger from electrical current

DANGER
Mortal danger from electrical current!
Mortal danger can result from contact with current-carrying conductors or components!
Always disconnect the power cable of the clipper from the mains
►
by pulling the plug, not the cord.
Before every use, check the clipper for externally visible
►
damage. Do not operate a damaged clipper.
Only ever insert the electrical plug of the clipper into an
►
undamaged socket.
Never wrap the power cable around the clipper and keep it away
►
from hot surfaces and objects.
► Only permit repairs to the clipper to be made by authorised dealers or the factory
customer service department; this applies especially to the replacement of a damaged
power cord.
► Before plugging the clipper in, compare the electrical connection data (voltage and
frequency) on the nameplate with that of your electric mains. These data must be
identical so that no damage occurs to the device. When in doubt, ask your specialised
electrical dealer.
► Do not, under any circumstances, open the housing of the clipper.
If voltage-bearing connectors are disturbed or the electrical and mechanical
construction is modified, there is risk of electric shock.
► Keep moisture away from the clipper. It can lead to short circuits. If you suspect that
moisture has penetrated the device, do not switch it on again and take it to a repair
shop.
► Never clip wet animals.
► Only clean the clipper when dry, using a brush or the enclosed cleaning brush.
► Never submerge the clipper in water or other liquids.
► Always switch the clipper off before working on it. Pull the plug from the socket to
prevent the device from being switched on inadvertently.
► Never operate this appliance with the air openings blocked or while on a soft surface,
such as a bed or couch, where it is possible for the air openings to be blocked. Keep
the air openings free of lint, hair, and similar objects.

3.3.2 Animals
CAUTION
Danger of injury by animals!
The noise of the device can disturb animals. A kick, an attack or the body weight of the
animal can lead to injuries.
► Only persons who have experience with the animals to be clipped are permitted to clip
the animals.
► Before beginning shearing, remove foreign objects from the coat (wire, wood etc.).
► Secure the animal sufficiently and calm it before starting work.
► Proceed with caution when working.
► Call in a second person if necessary.
3.3.3 Clipping blade
CAUTION
Danger from moving components!
The moving clipping blade and its sharp edges can cause injuries.
► Proceed with caution when working.
► Avoid any contact with the moving clipping blades.
► Do not touch the area around the clipping blade while it is still plugged into a power
source, even when the device is turned off. For work on the clipping blade/clipping
head, always disconnect the electrical power first.
► Do not use damaged shears with blunt or missing teeth. Only work with sharp shears
sharpened by a specialist workshop.
► The upper blade of the shearing head is only held by the tapered pins of the chicken
feet drive. If the shear-pressure adjustment head is released too much, the upper
blade can fly off and result in injuries.
CAUTION
Danger of burns!
Insufficient oiling of the clipping head leads to warming. This may agitate the animals.
► When clipping, oil the clipping blades and clipping head through the lubrication
opening provided for this purpose at least every 15 minutes so that the blades do not
run dry.
