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
e 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 hair growth.
In awkward areas stretch 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
nat clipping. This will prevent the blades from getting hot
e 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 from 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
Legend 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
Overload Protection
* The Legend Clipper is fitted with an overload protection switch which will trip if there is a
problem, such as blunt or clogged blades, lack of oil, excessive blade tension
* The problem must be rectified before resuming clipping.
Disconnect the clipper, then clean and
oil the blades. Check for obvious signs of any possible cause.
Press the RESET switch to
resume clipping, this is situated near the rear of the clipper, on the left hand side (see Figure 2)
* Never hold the RESET switch down to prevent it from tripping.
