Tailwell tail trimmer

Trimming dairy cows tails reduces faecal and urine contamination of milk in the vat, improves cleanliness and health of the cow, and improves hygiene and health of milking staff. The recommended twice yearly tail trimming ensures staff stay safe and milk maintains its highest quality.

How it works:

A drive shaft secures the Tailwell power tail trimmer into any suitable cordless drill of 18 volts, operating at 1,200 rpm to 1,800 rpm
Τailwell is quiet in use, with a smooth, fast cutting action. Trim tails within a few seconds during milking or in the barn. An outer blade oscillates over a stationary inner blade, this prevents any risk or injury to the cow

How to adjust the screws:

Although the Tailwell should leave the factory pre-set, the cutter tension should be checked before first use.
It is very important that this is set correctly to prevent any hair getting between the inner and outer cutters.
Follow this procedure carefully after you watch the online instruction video.

Using the tool even once with badly adjusted cutters can cause hair to get between the cutters and prevent proper performance of the tool.

1. Line the cutter teeth up behind each other so you can see a gap between the two rows of cutters.
2. Tighten the tension screws evenly to hand tight, then back off about an 1/8 to 1/4 turn.
3. The Tailwell cutters should just be able to be turned freely by finger grip only. Not too freely and nor too tightly.

Tailwell Maintenance:

Every 30-50 tails, to ensure continued good performance, undertake some quick maintenance.

Look for any debris caught in the cutters (hair etc).
If apparent, the cutters will need to be removed, cleaned and reassembled, then re-tensioned.
Repeat the 3-step process, as mentioned above.
Oil the cutters thoroughly using the Tailwell oil supplied.

 

Cutters sharpening: 

The Tailwell cutter will require sharpening from time to time.
Follow the procedure below as well as watching the video on this subject.

1. Remove the cutters from the Tailwell casing.
2. Separate the inner and outer cutters.
3. Clean all parts thoroughly with a clean cloth.
4. Apply a thin coat of lapping paste (included in the Tailwell kit) to the outer face of the inner cutter.
5. Use your finger to smooth out the paste evenly around the cutter.
6. Place the two cutters together and rotate against each other for one or two minutes, until a smooth cutting action is felt.
7. You should see an even and complete grinding surface on the inner cutter, which means the cutters are now sharp. If not, reapply paste and continue to rotate.
8. Clean all remaining lapping paste from the cutters. This is important.
9. Apply Tailwell oil to the cutters and reassemble the Tailwell machine.
10. Re-adjust the cutter tension screws.

1. Paste for sharpening your cutters
