7. Connect your chosen power source
• Never connect the clipper directly to the mains
• Read about your chosen power source in the following pages before proceeding
• Ensure the clipper is switched off before connecting it to the power source
• Always disconnect the power source before removing or fitting blades
8. Switch on the clipper
• Run the clipper briefly to spread the oil. Switch off and wipe away any excess oil
• You can now begin clipping
9. During clipping
• Oil the blades every 5-10 minutes
• Brush excess hair from the blades and clipper, and from the animals coat
• Tilt the clipper and glide the angled cutting edge of the bottom blade over the skin. Clip against the direction of the
hair growth. In awkward areas stretch the animal's skin flat with your hand
• Keep the blades on the animal's coat between strokes, and switch the clipper off when you are not clipping. This
will prevent the blades from getting hot
• If an obstruction gets between the blades they may fail to clip
• If the blades fail to clip do not increase the tension. Excessive tension may damage the blades and overheat the
clipper. Instead, disconnect the power source and then clean and oil the blades. If they still fail to clip, they may
need re-sharpening or replacing
• If the power source cuts out you may be overloading the clipper. Stop clipping immediately and disconnect the
power source. Refer to the 'Overload protection' instructions in the following pages before you attempt to resume
clipping
10. After clipping
• Disconnect the power source, and clean the clipper and the blades
• Store in a clean dry place. See 'Maintenance and storage' for more information

Maintenance and storage

Liberty clipper
• Do not carry the clipper by the power cable. Regularly check cables and connectors for damage
• After every 100 hours of clipping, the clipper head must be removed for maintenance. Unplug the clipper, and
unscrew the clipper head (see Figure 6). Wipe the clipper head and gear wheel to remove hair and grease, and
check the gear wheel for worn and broken teeth. Smear the gear wheel with clean Lister R2 grease. Replace the
clipper head and firmly tighten the screws
• Before storage, remove the blades, clean the clipper and oil the moving parts
• Store out of reach of children. Store in the case provided or a clean dry place
Clipping blades
• Blades are manufactured in pairs. They must be kept and used in pairs to increase their life
• Handle with care. If knocked, the hardened teeth may fracture and the precision cutting face may become bruised.
This can prevent them from clipping
• Clean and oil with Lister R15 oil before use, even if they are new
• Always fit and tension the blades correctly. Do not apply excessive tension
• If the clipper is left on when you are not clipping, the blades may overheat and become blunt
• Blunt blades can be re-sharpened by Lister or by a clipping blade specialist. Ensure that a lapping machine is
used, not a grinder
• Store in a clean dry place. Smear with oil or petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline), or wrap in an oiled cloth
