OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CHARGING UNIT
READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHARGING THIS CLIP-
PER/TRIMMER
Remove Andis cordless clipper/trimmer and AC adapter from
carton.The dual voltage adapter will have to be set manually to
the correct voltage before plugging into an electrical outlet. In
the U.S.A., adapter must be at 120V setting (as shown in
Fig. 1).Plug adapter into a 120V (or 240V AC
outlet, as according to your local power stan-
dards). Note that the clipper/trimmer ON/OFF
switch must be in the OFF position for the bat-
tery to charge. Plug adapter cord directly into
the clipper/trimmer (see Fig. 2).The green light
on the clipper/trimmer will turn on.The
clipper/trimmer is not charged at the factory.
Please recharge clipper /trimmer for 12 hours
(overnight) before first use for maximum per-
formance.
You can keep the clipper/trimmer plugged into
the adapter when not in use.The adapter will maintain the bat-
tery at full charge and the green light will stay on.The unit has
a Nickel Metal Hydride battery that cannot be damaged by
overcharging. However, we recommend that the adapter be
unplugged if the clipper/trimmer won't be used for seven or
more days.
PLEASE NOTE: Nickel Metal Hydride batteries have less
"Memory Effect" than Nickel Cadmium batteries. Memory
Effect is caused by repeated short uses of the clipper/trimmer,
followed by charging.The battery never fully discharges and,
therefore, "forgets" how much energy it can store. In order to
maximize the performance of your Nickel Metal Hydride battery,
please follow these steps:
1) Oil blade.Turn clipper/trimmer on and allow it run until the
blade slows significantly.It is not necessary to let the blade
stop completely.
2) Turn clipper/trimmer off. Charge overnight.
3) Conduct the above exercise every sixty days.
FAILURE TO CHARGE:
1) Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm with
an appliance you know is working).
2) Check to make sure adapter cord is plugged firmly into trim-
mer.Twist the adapter connector slightly to insure good
electrical conection. If failure to charge still exists, return
trimmer to Andis or an Andis Authorized Service Station
listed in this manual for examination and repair or
replacement.
ATTENTION: The product you have purchased
contains a rechargeable battery.The battery is
recyclable. At the end of its useful life, under vari-
ous state and local laws, it may be illegal to dis-
pose of this battery into the municipal waste
stream. Check with your local solid waste officials
(or call 1-800-822-8837) for details in your area
for recycling options or proper disposal.
USING TRIMMING COMBS
Your cord/cordless rechargeable trimmer comes complete with
six trimming guides.They are 1/2”, 3/8”, 1/4”, 7 day, 5 day and
a 3 day for even closer trimming. (See figure 3)
ATTACHING THE TRIMMING COMBS
Slide front of comb over the teeth of the blade.Snap comb
down over back of blade. (See figure 4)
BLADES: When trimming is complete, slide on/off switch to off
position and remove the trimming comb (if being used). Lightly
brush out blades with the blade cleaning brush provided. For best
results put a drop of Andis clipper oil on the blade when necessary.
Motor bearings are permanently lubricated–do not attempt to oil.
Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to
cut dirty or abrasive material. Do not use while bathing or in the
shower, as damage to batteries and product may
occur.
TRIMMING NECKLINE
Your cord/cordless rechargeable trimmer makes trim-
ming the neckline easier.The results are professional,
too. Simply comb hair into natural position and choose
an attachment comb for the length of cut desired.Trim
with the natural grain of the hair.You may wish to use
a comb to hold the hair in position until you feel com-
fortable using your trimmer. For a closer trim, you may
wish to select one of the closer cutting comb attach-
ments(Fig. 3).
TRIMMING BEARD
Always begin with a slightly damp beard for more con-
trol when shaping. Comb your beard in the direction
the hair grows, to give you an indication of what areas
you need to trim.To trim the outer edge of your beard
and add definition, hold the trimmer horizontally with
on/off switch facing out. Following the line of your jaw-
bone, cut away longer hairs along the outer edge of
your beard (Figs. 6 & 7).To trim your beard line, hold
the trimmer vertically (on/off switch facing you). Start
at the trimmed edge of your beard and, with a down-
ward motion, trim the area right under your beard line.
For added definition of your beard line, use the hori-
zontal position to trim any stray hair (Fig. 8).
