4 Servicing

Before starting any servicing work, disconnect the power supply; pull the plug out.
Even with the machine switched off, do not handle the area round the clipper blades as long
as the machine is still connected to a power source. Whenever working on the clipper
blades/clipper head, always first disconnect the power supply.

4.1 Cleaning

Cleaning the Clipper Head and Clipper Blades
After clipping, remove all oil from the machine by rubbing it down with a dry cloth and
carefully clean the clipper head and clipper blades with a dry brush. Then oil the parts to
prevent rusting. Even the smallest rust spots on the blades can adversely affect clipping or
make it completely impossible.
4.2 Fitting the Clipper Blade
A pair of clipper blades consists of a lower blade (Illustration 5, Item 2) and an upper blade
(Illustration 5, Item 1). When fitting the blades care should be taken to ensure that the correct
surfaces come to rest against each other. The blades are fitted as follows:
Illustr. 5+6
Loosen the pressure tension nut (Illustration 6) and place the machine on a hard surface so
that the blade fixing screws lie uppermost.
Loosen the two comb screws (Illustration 7) and remove the two old blades.
Illustr. 7 Ensure that the new clipper blades are clean. Particular care should be taken to ensure that
the ground surfaces are free of dirt; if not, even newly ground clipper blades will not clip
satisfactorily.
Place the new upper blade in the guide points of the driving carrier; then place a few drops
of oil on the ground surfaces (Illustration 8). Now push the new lower blade between the
loosened screws (Illustration 9).
Illustr. 8
What is now important is that you adjust the blades against each other in such a way that
the ground surface of the lower blade projects approx. 1.5 - 2.0 mm beyond the tips of the
upper blade (Illustration 10).
Illustr. 9+10
Once you have adjusted the clipper blades, set the position of the lower blade and tighten
up the comb screws.

4.3 Resharpening the Clipper Blades

Only work with sharp clipper blades. Replace blunt blades or those with missing teeth.
Proper resharpening can only be done with a special machine and by a trained technician
contactable through your service centre.
