Shear Magic STALLION 300, Instruction Manual

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 1.5mm to 2.0mm from the
ridge on the bottom blade (Fig 1).

ADJUSTING THE TENSION:

Tension is applied to the top blade 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 give 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. Excessive tight tension could snap the yoke
assembly springs. Too much tensioning can also burn the motor,
and these are not covered under warranty if over tensioned. Cutting
surfaces should be kept clean and oiled while clipping. At the
beginning when the blades are too sharp, 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, turn 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.
