Setting The Clipper Blades With The Tension Nut - Heiniger DELTA3 Mode D'emploi

source of danger. Before starting to clip, lay out the cables carefully and safely. Avoid any
kinking or entanglement of the power cable. Animals should not stand on or walk across
the power cable or become entangled with it. Never wrap the power cable around the
machine and keep it away from hot surfaces and objects. This could result in breaks and
damage to the insulation. The cable should be regularly checked for damage.
• Set the switch on the machine to OFF (Position 0; Fig. 2) before pulling out the plug.
• Wear suitable work clothes. Do not wear any loosely fitting clothing or jewellery. These
could be caught up in the moving machine parts. We urgently recommend that protective
goggles and ear protectors be worn.

• Never insert any object into any of the machine apertures.
• Noise from the machine could worry animals. Considerable injury could be caused as the
result of being kicked by an animal or being crushed by its body weight. Tether the animal
securely, approach it from the front and switch on the machine within the animal's range
of vision.
• Animals should only be clipped once unauthorised persons have been excluded from the
clipping area.
• Only clip in well-ventilated spaces (due to dust) and never near explosive objects or
gases.
• Generally, never plunge the clipper and clipperhead into liquids such as water, soapy
water, diesel, petrol, etc. This may cause serious injury to mechanics and motor.
The safety notes must be complied with in all cases. It is recommended to always use a
leakage current safety socket when working with electrical equipment.

3.2 Setting the clipper blades with the tension nut

When putting into operation, make the adjustment as follows:
Before clipping:
With the machine switched off, tighten the tension nut until the first resistance becomes
noticeable. Then tighten the tension nut by a further 1/4 turn.
Fig. 3
During clipping:
The patented clipping system guarantees long-term adjustment. If the blades no longer cuts
adequately, the tension nut should tightened by a further 1/4 of a turn (as in Fig. 3). If this
adjustment does not produce the desired result, the clipper blades should be re-sharpened
The clipper system works with much less applied pressure than traditional cattle clipping
machines. Care should therefore be taken to ensure that that the blade tension is not set too
high. Slightly adjust the blade tension from time to time during clipping.
Hair may collect between the clipper blades if they are insufficiently tensioned at the start
of the clipping. This will have an adverse effect on further clipping progress, even make it
impossible. If this is the case, the clipper blades must be disassembled, cleaned oiled and
refitted as described in Section 4.2.
