Instructions/Diagrams:

Common Uses
Shear heads are used for general flock shearing and for blocking show sheep, shearing llamas and alpacas. On cattle it can body clip, block show cattle or "peel" sale cattle effortlessly. Some folks have also used it to shear guard dogs so that they stay cool in the summer.

Specs
  • Internal roller bearings instead of bushings (less heat, less wear and greater longevity).
  • Sleek, low profile head design (sharp visual look that catches your eye and impresses observers).
  • Suspended fork system (reduces risk of stripping the gear drive or breaking comb teeth).
  • No cutter retainer or retaining spring (both caused hassles and broke too readily).
  • Improved tensioning concept (spring clip is more effective at retaining tension than cupped washers).
  • Tension column far superior in design, less small/individual parts to wear out.
  • No more black plastic sides (these were prone to falling off and frustrating users).

Benefits
Interchangeable shear head fits onto same motor as our clipping machine.

Less 'down' time when changing combs and cutters. Runs cooler.

Installation
See instructions above for installation, tensioning and oiling instructions.

Precautions
Failure to oil as often as recommended may lead to excess heat and premature wear and tear.

Warning: Unlike some other clipper motors, this motor will neither slow down nor sound different when oil is needed. But failure to oil will quickly cause damage to the blades and drive head. So you MUST apply oil by time instead of sound.

Apply a small amount of oil every 3 minutes to the tips of the teeth and each side of the blade by dipping them into a dish of oil or pouring oil directly onto the teeth with a small oil container and every 10 minutes drip oil into the small hole behind the tension knob assembly. Excessive wear can occur if not oiled properly!

Shear Head Only
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

This was handy to be able to buy just the part we needed. Once we put it on the old Premier 1 shearer, it worked great. We use about 3 or 4 machines while we’re shearing because they do get hot, so it’s nice to be able to rotate them.

Oster cutters don’t fit well compared to the old style head.

They shear really nice. I like that we can switch heads. Little noisy.

It worked out great. We have the shears and the motor was working fine. The shear head was worn out. The staff at Premier assisted me to just purchase the head. Saved me $200. Shears work great! Got the llamas done for the summer!
