OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following instructions before using your new Andis clipper. Give
it the care that a fine precision built instrument deserves and it will give you
years of service. Before starting clipper, remove blade guard (some models
may not have a blade guard). Plug cord into electrical outlet, operate at 120
volt, 60 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. To start clipper,
move switch button to ON position. To stop clipper, move switch button back to
original position. After using your clipper, rewrap cord and store in a safe place.
USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a coarser cut by attaching any of the snap-on
attachment combs made for your clipper. The attachment combs mount easily–
they snap on and off (Figures D & E). These attachment combs guide hair into
the clipper blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of
trim is indicated on the comb: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4” & 1".
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.
POWER ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis clipper has been adjusted to line voltage at the factory. However,
because of voltage variations it may be necessary to adjust the power setting
for your area. If the power adjustment is off, you will usually notice a “clatter”,
when the clipper is on or introduced into the hair. (It is normal for your clipper
to “clatter” for an instant when initially turned on).
TO ADJUST YOUR CLIPPER
1. Oil the blades (Figure L).
2. The power screw is located in the lower part of the housing opposite the
switch (Figure F).
3. Turn your clipper ON.
4. Use a screwdriver to turn the power screw clockwise until the clipper clatters
continuously. Then turn the screw counter clockwise carefully until the clatter
ceases.
5. Your clipper is now adjusted to its optimum power setting.
