REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of
the clipper (Diagram F) 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
oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Diagram G). 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 toothbrush. To clean the blades, we suggest
to immerse the blades 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 clean 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 Diagram H for
position of blade). Wipe the surface between the blades clean with a dry cloth,
