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. The clipper should
be held in the position shown in Figure F to prevent oil from getting into motor.
Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades
(Figure 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
tooth brush. 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 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 H 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 H). 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. Please contact an Andis Authorized
Service Station for replacement.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED CLIPPER
In a double-insulated clipper, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated clipper, nor
should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated clipper
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only
by an Andis Authorized Service Station. Replacement parts must be identical to
those parts being replaced. A double-insulated clipper is marked by the words
