PRODUCT INFORMATION
A precision made Swiss machine engineered to a very high standard. A compact and reasonably comfortable handpiece, (the two carbon brush caps are annoying as they protrude out from the casing, thus hitting one’s fourth index finger. – small point but aggravating! The powerful 120-watt motor producing a cutting speed of 3200 rpm, which is fan cooled, puts the clipper at the top of the range of the light duty machines.
Thoroughly reliable machine with very few back due to faults! Past service history confirms it is another very reliable Heiniger product. Enjoys a superior blade range compared to any other clipper in its class which puts it way beyond the “competition.”
One point worth mentioning for both existing and future user – too many operators run the machine without correctly fitting and tensioning the blades with the result that the blades fly off and the machine is run without blades fitted. The result is often damage to the head and the mechanism, which drive the blades. This is very definitely end user abuse and not a fault of the clipper, so if you are in any doubt about correctly setting up the blades on a clipper get professional advice! This applies to other makes as well and not solely Heiniger.
The head mechanism is of superior quality design and engineering as found in the top German machines, using a cutter drive carrier mounted with laminated springs. The smooth running motor emits a low noise level making it a popular choice for those with nervous horses. Features such as easy maintenance, and the ability to be able to use both the Aesculap, Stewart-Oster, DeLaval and Supershear full blade range extends widely the clipping capabilities of this quality product.
