USING THE ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs
made for your Andis clipper. You can attach a comb to the blade in any one of
the four positions. The combs mount easily; simply slip the cutter blade teeth
into comb and snap the comb down. To remove, simply snap off (Figures C & D).
These attachment combs guide hair into the blades and give you precise control
of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the attachment comb. Use the
chart to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in relation to
the skin, as well as thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
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 suthorized service station.
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.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS CLIPPER BLADES
The blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper
blades leave streaks or slow down, it's a sure sign the blades need oil. The
clipper should be held in the position shown in Figure E to prevent oil from
getting into the motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and
side of the cutter blades (Figure F). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft, dry
cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an
excellent clipper 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
an old toothbrush. To clean the blades we suggest immersing 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, dry the blades with a soft, dry cloth, and start
clipping again.
BLADE & CLIPPER/TRIMMER REPAIR SERVICE
When the blades of your Andis clipper become dull after repeated use, it is
advised to purchase a new set of blades available through your Andis supplier
or through an Andis authorized service station. If you wish your clipper to be
serviced as well, it should be carefully packed and mailed either Parcel Post
Insured, or U.P.S. to any 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).
