Clipper Adjustment With Shearing Tension Adjustment Head (Tension Screw); Lubrication - EIDER EG 727 Flex Bedienungsanleitung

Operating Instructions for Shearing Clippers
• A mains cord running across the floor for some distance can become entangled and pose a
hazard. Before shearing, lay the cord carefully and safely. Avoid kinking or entangling the
electric cord. Animals must not stand on, cross or snag the power cord. Never wind the power
cord around the clippers and keep it clear of hot surfaces and objects. The latter may break the
cord or damage the insulation. Regularly check the cord for damage.
• Switch the clipper OFF (Pos. 0, Figure 2) before removing the plug.
• Use only original clipper blades. Do not use damaged clipper blades with blunt or missing or
broken off teeth. Work only with sharp clipper blades honed by a specialised workshop.
• Look out for foreign bodies in the coat (wire, wood or the like) and remove these before
shearing.
• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear wide, loose fitting clothes or jewellery. These may
become entangled in the moving clipper parts. It is strongly recommended to wear protective
glasses and earmuffs.
• Never push an object into any clipper aperture.
• The noise of the clippers may agitate some animals. A kick or the animal's body weight may
cause severe injury. Adequately secure the animal, approach it from the front and switch on the
clippers in its field of vision.
• Unauthorised persons may not access the shearing area whilst animals are being sheared.
• Shear only in well ventilated areas (dust) and never in the vicinity of explosive objects or gases.
• Never submerge the shearing clippers/shearing head in liquids such as water, soapy water,
diesel, petrol, etc. This may lead to considerable damage to movement and the motor.
These safety instructions must always be heeded. It is recommended, when working with
electrical apparatus, to always use residual current protection for safety.

Clipper adjustment with shearing tension adjustment head (tension screw)

Adjust the clippers as follows before taking them into operation:
Before shearing:
With the clippers switched off, turn the adjusting screw until the first sign of resistance. Then turn
the adjusting screw a further 1/4 turn.
During shearing:
The shearing system ensures long-term adjustability. Turn the adjusting screw a further 1/4 turn
(see Figure 3) to readjust the blades if cutting is unsatisfactory. If such readjustment does not
produce the required results, hone the shearing blades again.
The shearing system operates with far less surface pressure than conventional animal shearing
clippers. Ensure therefore that the shearing tension is not set too high. Slightly readjust the
shearing tension from time to time during shearing.
Hair may accumulate between the shearing blades if you start off shearing with insufficient
shearing tension. This will impair or even prevent further shearing. In this case, the shearing
blades must be removed, cleaned, lubricated and re-fitted as described in 4.2.
3.3

Lubrication

Before and during shearing
A thin film of lubricant on the upper and lower blades (Figure 4, Pos. 1+4) is essential to ensure
good shearing results and to increase the service life of the clippers and clipper blades. All other
moving clipper head parts must also be well lubricated. Apply a few drops of oil onto the clipper
blades and into the lubrication holes provided on the clipper head (Figure 4, Pos. 2+3).
