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 blades only into a shallow pan of Andis Blade Care Plus, 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 in the guide slot of the
tension spring (Figure E). Now slide the upper blade to the opposite side of the lower
blade and repeat this process. After completing this procedure, slide the upper blade,
centering it over the lower blade. Handle or store your Andis Clipper with the blades
down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade,
since the blade currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive
assembly needs replacement.
TO CHANGE THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove blade set (Figure A).
2. Remove drive cap (Figure F).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure G).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this
will help you in reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Figure H).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position, if not, move it with your finger to
lowest position (Figures I & J).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Figure H).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Figure G).
8. Replace drive cap (Figure F).
9. Replace blade (Figure C).
