TROUBLE SHOOTING
Aligning 3-hole blades:
Slightly loosen the three blade screws of the stationary blade, just enough to be able to shift the blade. Move blade
adjustment lever to the full forward position. With the blade screws loosened, the bottom blade can be aligned with the top
blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16” (.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of bottom blade
teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut too close or allow the moving top blade to touch the skin. (see blade alignment diagram)
2. Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be on the rst small tooth of bottom blade. (see blade alignment diagram)
3. After blade is aligned, tighten screws.
4. Plug clipper in, turn switch on and o a couple of times, and then recheck alignment of blades.
Aligning 2-hole blades:
Slightly loosen both blade screws at base of stationary blade, just enough to be able to shift the blade. Move blade
adjustment lever to the full forward position. With the blade screws loosened, the bottom blade can be aligned with
the top blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16” (.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of the
bottom blade teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut too close or allow the moving top blade to touch the
skin. (see blade alignment diagram)
2. Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be on the rst small tooth of bottom blade. (see blade alignment diagram)
3. After blade is aligned, tighten screws.
4. Plug clipper in, turn switch on and o a couple of times, and then recheck alignment of blades.
Replacing 2-hole blades:
On adjustable clippers, move blade adjustment lever to full forward position. Position the small top blade over the clipper drive
nger. Set large bottom blade on top of small top blade and partially tighten blade screws. With the blade screws partially
tightened, the bottom blade can be aligned with the top blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16” (.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of the bottom blade
teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut too close or allow the moving top blade to touch the skin.

4. Plug clipper in, turn switch on and o a couple of times, and then recheck alignment of blades.
Replacing 3-hole blades:
On adjustable clippers, move blade adjustment lever to full forward position. Loosen and remove the center screw only. Outside screws
hold bushings in place and maintain alignment. Position the small top blade over the clipper drive nger. Place large bottom blade on
top of small top blade, tting down over the bushings on either side. Replace and partially tighten center screw.

Maximizing power to the blades:
To adjust power, turn power screw in clockwise direction
until clipper makes a noise caused by the arm hitting the
coil. Then, slowly turn power screw out (counter-clockwise)
just until noise stops then continue turning 1/8 to 1/4 of a
turn more, this is maximum power.

When to replace blades:
The following conditions require immediate replacement of blades:
- dull blades (will pull hair)
- rusty blades (causes sticking)
- broken or bent teeth on either blade (always replace both)
Blades should always be replaced in blade sets. A blade set consists of one movable top blade and one stationary bottom blade. Keep at least one set of blades for
each type of working clipper in your shop.
