Care Of Blades - Lister STAR Manual De Instrucciones

CARE OF BLADES

Blades should be kept together as MATCHED SETS.
The teeth could break if the blades are knocked. The steel blades, specially hardened for
good cutting qualities, are more brittle than unhardened teeth.
BLADE PROTECTION
WIPE BLADES ABSOLUTELY CLEAN. This is essential if the clipper is to work properly.
The blades are ground and then lapped to a very fine precision finish.
CLIPPING WITH NEW BLADES
New or reground blades must be cleaned, then tensioned correctly and oiled before use.
If the new blades fail to cut when first used, stop work immediately. DO NOT INCREASE
THE TENSION - THIS CAN ONLY BE HARMFUL. Remove and clean the blades, as even
a small amount of dirt or a single hair may be the cause of the trouble. Brush between the
teeth and wipe the blades and head clean. Fit the blades back on to the clipper, then set
the tension correctly and oil.
Should the clipper fail to cut again, repeat the cleaning procedure.
USE LISTER R15 OIL OR VERY LIGTH MACHINE OIL.
FAILURE TO CUT
IF THE BLADES FAIL TO CUT – DO NOT INCREASE THE TENSION.
EXCESSIVE TENSION WILL ONLY CAUSE OVERHEATING AND WILL BLUNT THE
BLADES.
THE CLIPPER WILL NOT CUT IF HAIR OR DIRT GETS BETWEEN THE BLADES
Remove the blades from the clipper. Wipe the clipper head clean to prevent stray hairs
getting between the blades. Brush between the blade teeth and wipe the blades clean. Fit
the blades back on the clipper. Finally set the tension correctly and oil.
THE SLIGHTEST BRUISE ON THE FACE OF EITHER BLADE IS SUFFICIENT TO STOP
THEM CUTTING ALTOGETHER.
BLADES SHOULD BE KEPT TOGETHER AS MATCHED SETS.
WHEN THE BLADES HAVE LOST THEIR CUTTING EDGE RETURN THEM TO A
QUALIFIED FIRM FOR REGRINDING.
