WARNING
Do not charge, place or leave the appliance where
it is expected to be:
Subject to damage by an animal, or
Exposed to weather.
AVERTISSEMENT
Ne pas charger, placer ou laisser l'appareil là où il
est susceptible d'être:
Soumis à des dommages causés par un animal,
ou
Exposé aux intempéries.
CAUTION
Do not under any circumstances switch on the
machine if it has not been properly fitted out
with cutter plates!
Always unplug the machine before carrying out
any maintenance work on it!
Always lay the machine on a dry surface, and
store it in a dry place!
ATTENTION
Ne mettez jamais la tondeuse en marche sans
avoir monté correctement les peignes!
Avant les travaux de maintenance, débranchez
toujours la fiche secteur!
Déposez toujours la tondeuse sur un support sec
et conservez-la dans des locaux secs!
Please note
The overload switch shuts the machine down if there is excessive
pressure on the plates, if the cutting head is jammed, or if the motor is
malfunctioning. When the overload switch is activated, the head of the
switch pops out of the back of the motor cover.
Inspect the machine with the plug disconnected from the socket, and
eliminate the cause of the shutdown. The overload switch can be
turned back on after a few minutes by pressing the head of the switch,
which is at the back of the motor.

Sheep shearing machine GT494(K) / GT694(K) and cutter head GT369
5. Oiling the cutter head
Important
Oil the machine only while it is running!
Never immerse the cutter head in liquid of any kind!
Use either a light lubricating oil (see parts list for cutter head
GT369) or SAE 20 motor oil.
Oiling hole A (eccentric bearing): Apply 5-10 drops of oil for every
2 hours of operation.
Oiling holes B and C: Apply 5-10 drops of oil every 15 minutes.
Cutter plates 1 and 2 should be kept well-oiled at all times, the
quantity of oil used varying from animal to animal (see fig.)
6. Greasing the cutter head
Use only gear grease GT605!
1-2 times per shearing season:
Apply approx. 1 cm of grease to opposing points on the gear
wheel 10. Remove the cutter head (see section 9).
Grease the inside of both the regulating nut 8 and the thrust
bearing sleeve 25.
Grease the clamping jaw shafts 3 and 5.
7. Changing the cutter plates
Unplug the machine before changing the cutter plates!
The upper cutter plate 2 needs to be changed 2-3 times more
frequently than the lower one 1.
To do so, loosen the regulating nut 8 until the upper cutter plate 2
can be removed from beneath the clamping jaws 3 and 5 (see fig.).
Then insert the new cutter plate, ensuring that both the tips D of
the two clamping jaws 3 and 5, as well as the lugs E and the
retaining springs 4, engage properly with their respective borings
in the upper cutter plate (see fig.).
Never attempt to change the lower cutter plate 1 without first
loosening the regulating nut 8.
To do this, loosen both fixing screws 9 and pull the plate out in a
forward direction (see fig.).
When reassembling, check to ensure that the lower cutter plate 1
extends ca. 2 mm beyond the upper cutter plate 2 (see fig.).
Important notes
Keep your sheep closely huddled together just prior to shearing. Doing
this will help to soften and liquefy the lanolin in their fleece, thereby
making it easier for the cutter plates to glide through the fleece and
over the sheep's skin.
If shearing is interrupted and the lanolin congeals, causing the cutter
plates to become sticky, it is best to remove the cutting plates from the
shearer and clean them thoroughly in warm water before proceeding.
After cleaning, the cutter plates should be thoroughly dried, and then
re-oiled.
