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. If you have a detachable blade unit, you
can change your blade in order to maintain a comfortable temperature; using multiple blades of
the same size is popular among groomers.
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 D 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 E). Wipe excess oil off the blades

OIL
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 dry cloth,
and start clipping again.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE BLADE SET
To remove the blades, first unplug the clipper from the electrical outlet. Turn the clipper upside
down so that the blade teeth are pointing down. You may want to place the clipper on a flat
surface to do this. Unscrew the screws on the blades. Remove the blades.
To replace the blades, put the smaller, upper blade back into position (Figure F). Line up the
screw holes in the bottom blade with the two holes in the clipper housing, and replace the
screws. Do not tighten down the screws completely. Turn the clipper over and align the lower
blade so the teeth on both blades are parallel, but with the lower blade's teeth slightly above
the upper blade's teeth. Failure to do this may result in nipping the skin when cutting the hair.
FACTORY 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.
