Mains connection

Prior to first use check whether the mains correspond
with the voltage on the rating plate 1.
2. Changing of the cutter heads
Changing of the cutter heads is best done with the
clipper running. For fitting press lever 2 (Fig. 1).
Sliding surfaces 3 (Fig. 1) must always be kept abso-
lutely clean and regularly oiled lightly.
3. Care of the clipper
Remove air filter 4 (Fig. 2) once or several times a week.
Push the filter in the direction of the cable by using a
coin. Now the air filter can be thoroughly cleaned and
blown out. Only replace a dry and clean filter.
When the clipper is in heavy use then check the car-
bons 24 (Fig. 4) every 12 months which should only be
done by an expert.
4. Instructions for maintenance
of Aesculap cutter heads
Aesculap cutter heads are made of extremely hard spe-
cial steel which contains a high amount of carbon. This
type of steel is especially suitable for cutting articles. It
ensures long preservation of the cutting edge.
For optimal shearing both impeccably ground cutter
blades and adjustment, by means of the knurled
screw, of the pressure exerted by the upper on the
lower blade, are indispensable.
Cutting test
After preliminary adjustment of the knurled screw, a
cutting test should be carried out.
The knurled screw should be tightened only to such an
extent that the upper cutter blade can be moved man-
ually from the side with moderate pressure.
If afterwards the cutter head does not deliver perfect
cutting performance, it must be resharpened.
The following recommendations should be followed
for satisfactory handling:
Each time before shearing, the cutter heads should
be oiled.
When the cutter heads are in regular use, dismantle
them every few days and clean them with a soft
cloth or brush. Clean very carefully between the
teeth.
After cleaning the cutter blades, oil them lightly (to
prevent rusting).
Prior to assembling, wipe off the sliding surfaces
with the palm to make sure that these parts are ab-
solutely clean.
