FAQs
Can I use the A56 set on other animals?
The set is optimized for sheep and cattle, but it may be used for other large livestock with thick coats if the machine head is compatible.
How often should I oil the blades?
It is recommended to oil the blades every 5 to 10 minutes of active use to maintain lubrication.
Are these blades compatible with other brands?
These are designed for Liscop systems; cross-compatibility with other brands is not guaranteed.
What should I do if the blades are rusty?
Light surface rust can often be removed with a fine oil and a scouring pad, but deep pitting requires blade replacement.
Is sharpening a DIY task?
While some professionals sharpen their own blades, it is recommended to use professional sharpening services to ensure the correct blade geometry.
Troubleshooting
Blades are getting excessively hot
Adjust the tension nut to loosen the pressure slightly and apply more shearing oil.
Cutter is pulling hair rather than cutting
The blades have likely dulled; they should be removed and professionally resharpened.
Uneven or streaky cuts
Check the alignment of the cutter on the comb; ensure the teeth are seated evenly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, verify that the cutter and comb are properly aligned on your shearing head before powering on. Ensure that the tension is adjusted so the comb teeth are parallel to the cutter. After each use, remove hair and debris using a stiff brush. Clean the blades with an approved solvent to remove lanolin or manure, then dry thoroughly. Store the set in a dry location, lightly coated in oil to prevent rust, and always store in the protective packaging when not in use.
