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 assemble the blades or any part of the clipper over straw, shavings or other materials. Only carry out such tasks on a specified area i.e. table or work bench otherwise essential parts may be lost.
• Immerse either the machine or cutter head in liquid (oil/diesel/lubricant) of any kind
• Use the appliance if it has a damaged cable or plug, if it is not working properly, or has been dropped or in any way damaged. Arrange for it to be checked by a qualified engineer and repaired as necessary.
• Use the appliance with either a damaged comb attachment or broken blade as injury may occur.

IMPORTANT!

Do not leave the clipper near animals or in a damp situation.

Do not allow to come in contact with water. The clipper is not splash proof!

CLIPPER INFORMATION:

The Clipper is insulated and radio interference-suppressed and conforms to CE regulations.

Do not attempt to operate this machine without first oiling the blades.

Do not use WD 40 or other similar solvents/scouring agents to clean the clipper or the blades.

Do not attempt to sharpen the blades yourself - they need a special machine.

Blades need to be regularly sharpened to keep a good cutting edge, and they must be constantly oiled during use.

Removing the blades: Fig 1

Before removing the blade head ensure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from any power supply.

Hold the machine firmly in your hand (right or left) with the maker's name facing you. (MOSER REX.) Now rotate the body casing 180 degrees until you are viewing the underside of the clipper (You should now read the maker’s name and model details!

On the lower portion of the blade (comb) you will see two screws, with a broad-based screwdriver unscrew both screws anti clockwise (be careful not to drop the screws) Remove screws for safekeeping and remove comb blade.

Next remove the cutter blade from the drive lever which it sits astride. (See fig 2)

Both blades should now be fully released from the clipper.

(This is best practised a few times over something soft such as a cushion rather than a concrete floor!)

Fitting the blades: Fig 2 & 3.

Before fitting the blade head ensure the appliance is switched off and disconnected from any power supply.

Hold the machine firmly in your hand (right or left) with the maker's name facing you. (MOSER REX.) Now rotate the body casing 180 degrees until you are viewing the underside of the clipper (You should now read the maker’s name and model details!

Take the cutter blade and position so that it sits astride the drive lever. You will feel it engage - press slightly down. Next position the comb blade and replace both blade screws. Tighten sufficiently to hold the blades but not finally tightened down. Rotate the body casing 180 degrees, and check the alignment of the cutter in relation to the comb. You are seeking a clearance gap of 0.5mm. (See Fig 3) Make sure both blades are parallel and straight - in line with the clipper head. Once satisfied with the alignment then finally screw down both blade screws. Your blades should now be attached and the clipper ready for work!

However before you rush to switch on ……

Oil the blades before commencing a test run with the clipper

(When operating for the first time after changing blades the machine should be pointed away from you and/or any animal before switching on to test)

Now test the clipper.

Oiling:

Oiling of the blades should be carried out at regular intervals during the clipping application. Apply a small quantity of oil on the ends of the blades whilst the trimmer is running

Only WAHL clipper oil or light machine oil of good quality.

Attachment Combs:

Are supplied with the clipper. Their purpose is to allow a specific depth of hair to be left on the body irrespective of the angle you may clip. They are easily attached by sliding over the blade.

Routine Maintenance:

Is important and should be carried regularly. Do not conducted maintenance tasks over straw, shavings, or other types of bedding. Preferably use a flat table surface or work bench, otherwise you can risk small parts becoming lost in the process.

Cleaning:

Cleaning of the blades and inside of the clipper head should be thoroughly carried out after every clipping session to avoid a build up of hair and dirt.

Remove all traces of oil and hair with a small stiff brush and wiped clean with a dry clean cloth. The use of an airline is ideal - if available. Failing that, use a small oil paint brush – the stubby type – This will enable you to remove most of the muck, after which a good “blow” will usually do the rest! Try to avoid a build up of dirt and hair – it makes cleaning easier!

When completely free from hair clippings and oil, re oil all working parts within the head and likewise to the blades to prevent any occurrence of rust.

Remember even the smallest spots of rust can have an adverse effect on the cutting performance of the blades - in some cases making clipping impossible.

Professional servicing & repairs

Should only be undertaken by qualified engineers appointed by the Manufacturer or his distributor.

Regular servicing is necessary in accordance with the amount of use of the machine to protect it malfunction and to ensure it is kept in a high state of operational effectiveness. Machine should be serviced well before anticipated use.

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, damp grooming parlours, cowsheds and dairy parlours or similar places

The same should apply to all blades. Keep oiled and dry at all times.
