the blade. If this happens, you can clean out the hair by brushing out the cavity
with a small brush or an old toothbrush while the blade is off the clipper.
REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of
the clipper (Figure C) and with the clipper
turned ON
, push the blade towards
the clipper to lock into position.
USER MAINTENANCE
The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated
by the factory. Other than the recommended maintenance described in this
manual, no other maintenance should be performed, except by Andis Company,
or an Andis Authorized Service Station. To find an Andis Authorized Service
Station near you log on to
www.andis.com
or contact our customer service
department: 1-800-558-9441 (U.S.) or 1-800-335-4093 (Canada).
BLADE TEMPERATURE
Due to the high speed nature of Andis clippers, please check for blade heat
often, especially on close cutting blades. If blades are too hot, dip the
blades
only
into Andis Blade Care Plus or apply Andis Cool Care Plus and then Andis
Clipper Oil. If you have a detachable blade unit, you can change your blade in
order to maintain a comfortable temperature; using multiple blades of the same
size is popular among groomers.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS CLIPPER BLADES
Blades should be oiled before,
during
, and after each use. If your clipper blades
leave streaks or slow down, it’s a sure sign blades need oil. Place a few drops of
Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure D). Wipe
excess oil off blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil
for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper blade coolant. Always replace
broken or nicked blades to prevent injury. You can clean the excess hair from
your blades by using a small brush or worn out tooth brush. To clean the blades
we suggest to immerse the
b
lades only
into a shallow pan of Andis Clipper Oil,
while the clipper is running. Any excess hair and dirt that has accumulated
between the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn your clipper OFF and
dry blades with a dry cloth and start clipping again.
If upon cleaning your blades you find that the blades will still not cut, there may
be a few fine pieces of hair trapped between the upper and lower blade. If this
happens, you will need to snap the blade off the clipper. Proceed to slide the
upper blade to one side, without loosening the tension spring or moving the
upper blade completely out from under the tension spring (See Figure E for
position of blade). Wipe the surface between the blades clean with a dry cloth,
then place a drop of clipper oil where the upper and lower blades meet and also
