USiNg AttACHMENt COMBS
(Some models do not have attachment combs)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made for your Andis clipper
(Diagram D). The atttachment combs are easy to use–they snap on and off. To attach a comb, slip the
attachment onto top edge of blade and snap down onto bottom edge of blade. The attachment combs help
guide the hair to the blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on
the attachment comb: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2".
Use the chart to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in relation to the skin, thickness
and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
USER MAiNtENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
The internal mechanism of your clipper has been permanently lubricated at 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.
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.
