DO NOT!

• Attempt to work on the machine with it connected to the main power supply.
• Attempt to clip a wet or perspiring animal.
• Touch the blades when moving!
• Switch the machine on with loose or missing blades. (In the interests of safety ensure that both blades are tightly seated.)
• Over tighten the blades in an attempt to force them to clip.
• Use if the voltage at your site is different to that on the clipper rating plate.
• Attempt to take the blades or any part of the clipper apart over straw, shavings or other materials. Only carry out such tasks on a specified area i.e. tables or workbench otherwise essential parts may be lost.
• Immerse either the machine or cutter head in liquid (oil/diesel/lubricant) of any kind.

INFORMATION ABOUT THIS CLIPPER

The clipper is fitted with a reset button. This is designed to protect the machine from becoming overloaded and will operate automatically. Allow a short interval of a few minutes before re-setting the switch which is done by lightly depressing the switch. If the clipper persists in throwing the overload button you should seek qualified assistance.

When greasing the gears never use graphite. Molybdenum, or other electrically conductive greases

This clipper only accepts Hauptner blades. Select blades either for horses or cattle.

Fitting the blades:

First ensure the machine is disconnect from the power supply

Make sure both blades to be used are clean with no dirt or hair present on the cutting surfaces. Before fitting your blades loosen the tension nut - also called the regulating nut (See Clipper diagram) and remove any existing blades present. (It is important to loosen the tension nut otherwise it can affect the correct tensioning later and the resulting success of the clip.) Apply oil to the underside of the upper blade (cutter) and especially in the groove (Fig 2) running along the blade face (failure to do this can result in overheating!) Also apply a few drops of oil via the oiling hole to lubricate the drive block (See fig 1)

Turn the machine 180 degrees for comfortable working position. With the nylon drive block positioned to give a “squared” face insert the upper blade (cutter) so that the raised housing plate fits into position.

If, as often is the case, it swivels/moves, making it difficult to insert the "housing" of the cutter over, take a small screwdriver or slim pen/pencil and hold in place whilst you get the cutter "housing" fitted over.

Next, place the lower blade (comb) in position with the comb guides (two black blade lugs which should be positioned through the twin holes on the blade. Then take the tension bolt and insert through both the lower plate (comb) and the upper plate (cutter) as well as through the head housing of the machine.

With your index finger holding the lower plate (comb) in place turn the machine 180 degrees to attach the tension spring and tension nut. Ensure the tension bolt is correctly sunk home into the bottom plate (comb) square inset by slightly twisting it. Tighten to take up the slack and to secure the blades only at this point.

NOTE: Always check to see that the eccentric block - known also as the “drive block” has not fallen out. This can sometimes happen - in which case your machine will not clip!

Tensioning the blades:

Correct tensioning is VERY important. Incorrect tensioning can damage the blades or the motor. To adjust the plate (blade) pressure (known as tensioning the blades) the machine should be running and pointed away from you and/or any animal for safety. Before you start the motor make sure you have lubricated the blades.

Start your tensioning with the tension nut slackened (See main clipper diagram) Gradually slacken the tension nut until the upper cutter plate (cutter) is no longer exerting pressure on the lower cutter plate (comb) You will note a change of pitch in the sound of the motor. (Blade clatter) This indicates that the blades are two loose. Now gradually increase by a "quarter-turn" of the tension nut. (It helps to think of the circular face of the tension nut, as a clock face therefore a "quarter turn" equals 15 minutes. This can be valuable as often a mere "five" minute turn can be sufficient to make the difference between clipping and not!) Test the clipper on the animal each time you make an adjustment. Whilst the Hauptner 07 often has to be fairly tightly tensioned to clip correctly you must be careful NOT to OVER TENSION as this can lead to a number of serious problems if allowed to continue for any length of time.

If the blades do not cut this can be for a number of reasons and the cause needs to be established. Whatever you do, do not attempt to increase the tension as you may well incur damage to either the blades or the motor. The most likely reasons for blades refusing to cut may be one of three causes: -

• In correct tensioning by the operator
• Incorrect or bad sharpening
• Dirt and dust accumulated in the animals coat

Remember that blades do not stay sharp forever. Blades can go blunt at a moment’s notice due to high levels of dirt and grit with the animal’s coat especially with horses during the first clip of the season. In the case of even the best groomed horses unless they have previously been wash there is likely to be a considerable build up of particles of grit and dust which can cause blade failure (on any type of blades!) very quickly. No one can predict how many animals can be clipped on one set of blades - it may be several - it may be only part of an animal!

This does not signify that the clipper is at fault, or that the blades are of inferior quality or sharpening, it is all part of the "rich experience" of clipping. Hence the wisdom of always having a second set of unused and freshly sharpened blades to hand. Saves a lot of aggravation!

Oiling:

The importance of oil and the frequent application of it to the blades CANNOT be over emphasised Oiling of the blades should be carried out at regular intervals (at least every 3/5 minutes) during the clipping application. It is most important to ensure that both the upper plate (cutter) and lower comb blade are kept constantly oiled and not allowed to dry out as this will lead to overheating of the blades, which will quickly impair the cutting performance. (See main clipper diagram for "OIL HERE" directions)

Use only light machine oil of good quality. Do not use sewing machine oil, bone or other oil. DO NOT use WD40 ever!

Routine Maintenance:

Servicing

Servicing should be carried out at regular intervals according to use, but at least every two years and more often if extensively used.

Cable lead

Should be checked regularly for cuts or other signs of damage (Hooves with shoes can inflict cable damage.)

Cutter head

Regular inspection of the clipper head is recommended and gear housing cleaned and regreased using Hauptner grease.

This is best carried out at a qualified service centre, but if you are experienced, it can be done at home. Remove the cutter head first by undoing the four holding screws (See clipper parts diagram) and withdraw the head assembly. Carefully check the gear wheels for any signs of wear or broken teeth. Replace if in any way worn or damaged. Before refitting the clipper head apply fresh grease to the casing around the gear wheel.

The inside of the clipper head should be cleaned regularly and after each clipping session. (See Fig 1) Remove both blades. Using a soft brush clean thoroughly both the head and all components parts removing all hairs and dirt. Grease the drive block, after which wipe the area clean with a dry cloth. Reassemble the blades carefully and oil both blades and the cutter head.

Air Filter

The air filters is a very important part of the clipper - they are the inlets, which provides cool air to the motor to prevent it from over heating. It is essential therefore that BOTH the air filters are kept clean at all times. (Filters should be cleaned at least every 30 minutes during operational use! That assumes you started off with it clean at the beginning of you clipping exercise!)

The air filter housings are easily removed by unscrewing from the clipper body casing. Clean each filter thoroughly removing all dirt and hair so that you can see clearly through the filter mesh. If greasy, wash in a mild detergent and dry thoroughly before replacing. Do not attempt to insert any sharp objects through the filter casings as you may damage the armature windings. (Very expensive!!) Replace the filter casings immediately after cleaning.

Carbon Brush.

The Carbon Brush needs to be regularly checked for wear. When the brush is observed to be worn or in any way mis -shaped it should be changed without delay otherwise damage may occur to the armature (expensive!)

Use only genuine Hauptner component parts. Keeping a spare brush is recommended.

Storage:

When not in use, having been thoroughly cleaned and oiled, the machine should be stored in a dry place preferably in your house. Do not leave in tack rooms, stables, cow barn, dairy shed, lorries, or outside! The same should apply to all your blades.

Damp weather conditions can effect the armatures of many makes of clippers. Replacement can be costly! In the case of Hauptner be warned IT IS!

Additional Information:

Spare parts are available from Peasridge. Please make sure you are able to quote the serial number of your machine (See the specification label on your machine) and that you quote both the correct part description and part number ( See Parts List diagram)

PLEASE NOTE:

The Hauptner 07 has now been replaced with the HAUPTNER 2000 (1997) therefore over the next few years it is reasonable to expect parts to become more difficult to obtain. Already we are experiencing difficulty in obtaining replacement field coils.

Updated information

22/11/2001 -  Tension Springs

The Tension spring should always be slackened off after the clipping operation has been completed. If constantly left in the "tensioned position" the "elasticity" of the spring with become effected and future tensioning of the blades may become difficult, resulting in a poor quality clip. Tension springs should be inspected and changed if they are thought to be worn in any way.

22/11/2001 - Replacement of "Field Coils"

We understand that the replacement of new field coils for this model is now not possible due to the part being no longer available from the manufacturer.
