IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SETTING THE BLADES:

Check the setting of the blades to
be sure they are in the correct
position. When correctly set, the
top blade should be set back 1/32"
(0.8mm) to 1/16" (1.6mm) from the
ridge on the bottom blade (Fig 1).

ADJUSTING THE TENSION:

T ension is applied to the top b lade of
the animal clipper by a flexible
tension principle that eliminates all
friction on top of the cutting blade.
Underneath the tension screw plate
is an equalising cross bar which
supplies pressure on two sets of leaf
springs. This presses the top blade
down against the lower blade to giv e
the best possible cutting tension.

The clipper will not cut freely with a light tension, but tension should
not be so loose as to let hair or dirt get in between the cutting
surfaces of the blades. Excessively tight tension will dull the blades
quickly. Cutting surfaces should be kept clean and oiled while
clipping. At the beginning when the blades are too shar p, tension
should be lightly applied. As the blades begin to dull, tension
should be increased. When the tension knob is tightened as far as
it will go and the blades refuse to cut, they must be sharpened.

To adjust the tension, tur n the tension knob counter-clockwise until
resistance is felt. Do not force the knob against the resistance.
Rotate the tension knob clockwise; approximately 2-3 complete
turns until a light resistance is felt. Continue turning one-half turns.
The tension knob should then be correctly adjusted to start clipping.

BEFORE USE APPLY OIL IN THE OPENINGS SHOWN IN
FIGURE 2 AND TO THE FRICTION POINTS OF THE BLADES.
REPEAT OILING EVERY 10 MINUTES DURING USE.

OSTER LARGE ANIMAL CLIPPER

Make sure the switch on the side of the clipper is in the "OFF"
position. Then inser t the plug into an electrical outlet. Slide the
switch to the "ON" position and begin clipping.

OILING AND CLEANING THE BLADES:

Keep the clipper blades oiled and clean well while clipping. When
clipping is completed, remove the blades and w ash them in Oster
Blade Wash. Wipe the blades and the other parts and secure
cord and place in original box with clipping head to prevent oil
from seeping down the armature shaft into the motor.

CLEANING THE AIR FILTER:

Ensure that the air filter is free of hair and dirt.
The hair and dirt that collect on the filter screen must be

frequently removed so that air can freely pass through the screen
to cool the motor.
