4-point cutter

Fits Premier’s 4000s Shearing Machine or any 3″ shearing head
Works with all 13, 17, 20, 22, 23 tooth combs

How To Use
Slide the cutter on top of the comb producing the cutting action.
Combs set the depth and speed at which fiber is removed (more teeth = slower speed, thinner combs = less fiber remaining).

Precautions
Proper Storage
Remove blades/combs/cutters from clipper or shearing machine.
Clean blades/combs/cutters immediately after use by using a small brush or blowing off any excess dirt or hair. Cover with oil to reduce risk of rust. High carbon steel clipper blades will rust overnight. Rust will destroy both the edge and polished surface of blades.
Store clipper/shearer and blades away from solvents, chemicals and moisture. Never leave them where they can be damaged by accidental impact.
Sharpening and Cleaning
Premier offers an in-house resharpening service for all combs, cutters and blades. Rapid turnaround—most are sharpened within 24 hours.
To reproduce the quality of the cutting edge on the clipper blades that came from the factory, a lapping machine must be used. Most other methods are, in our experience, inferior. In addition to producing a cutting edge that won’t last, some methods can permanently damage blades. The most common “culprit” is using large high speed grinding wheels that are used to sharpen cutters and combs.
Warning: Clipper blades/cutters/combs that have been sharpened by inferior methods or inexperienced people may be damaged to such an extent that they can never be restored to a satisfactory cutting capability. The same is true of blades that have become too heavily pitted by rust.

Troubleshooting
Make sure the comb and cutter are on as described in the instructions.
Make sure the comb name can be read on outside when placed on head.
Make sure to have 1/8″ space from end of comb bevel to tip of cutter.
Make sure the edge of the cutter does not go over the side of the comb.
Make sure the tension is set correctly.
