MODEL AGR+ BATTERY AND CHARGING STAND
READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHARGING THIS CLIPPER:
1. Remove the charger and power adapter from the carton. Plug the
power cord into the back of the charging stand (Figure B). Insert
the power adapter into an AC outlet as identified on charger unit
and on carton.
2. Place the clipper in the form-fitting pocket in the charger base
(Figure C). Note that the battery pack is fitted with a slot to align
properly with the charger. Once the battery and charger are
aligned, press the battery pack firmly into the charger until it rests
at the bottom of the pocket. You may hear a click as the charging
contacts engage, this is normal. The battery pack may be charged
while on the clipper, or separately.
3. To remove the battery from the clipper, push the battery release
button (Figure D) and pull straight out. NOTE: The battery pack is
designed to run the clipper for about one hour. A clean, sharp,
well-oiled blade will provide the best run time.
4. Before initial use, battery pack must be charged for a minimum
of ten hours.
5. The charger base has a blue indicator light. The indicator light will
remain "ON" when the battery is charging.
6. You can keep the clipper in the charger when not in use. The
charger will maintain the battery at full charge and the blue light
will stay on. The unit has a Nickel Metal Hydride battery that
cannot be damaged by overcharging. However, we recommend
that the charger be unplugged if the clipper won't be used for
seven or more days.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK
1. Clipper motor switch must be in the OFF position for the charger
to operate properly. Do not return the clipper to the charger
base with the motor switch in the ON position. If the clipper is
accidentally put on the charger base in the ON position, remove
it promptly. Turn clipper OFF and return to the charger base.
2. Do not insert anything metallic into the battery pocket of the
charger base.
3. Do not attempt to charge any other battery other than the battery
pack designed for your Andis AGR+ clipper.
4. Do not store battery or charger where it is under 50°F or over
104°F, as damage may occur.
5. Do not expose the charger base or the battery pack to excessively
damp conditions.
6. Avoid dropping the charger base and the battery pack. Do not
attempt to use a damaged battery pack or charger.
7. Clean external parts of charger with a soft brush or damp rag.
Do not use harsh abrasives, detergents, or solvents.
GUIDELINES FOR BATTERY PACK AND
CHARGER USE
1. Your clipper, battery pack, and charger function as several
interacting electrical systems. Good electrical contact must be
maintained in order for the motor to deliver full power and the
battery to charge properly. Limited or erratic performance caused
by dirt or age can be restored in the majority of the cases if you
do the following:
A. Problem: Clipper motor starts and stops as if there was a loose
electrical connection.
Solution: Remove the battery pack from the clipper. Examine
the battery pack opening in the clipper. Locate the two sets of
motor contacts. Gently squeeze the metal leaves until they are
about 1/16" (1.6 mm) apart using a long pliers or similar.
DO NOT squeeze the metal leaves completely together or the
battery pack will not re-insert.

Clean the charger contacts. Re-align the charger contacts. To clean the battery pack contacts, rub
gently with a pencil eraser until they are brightly polished. Use a cotton swab and 91% isopropyl
alcohol to remove any residue or dirt. Denatured alcohol can also be used. Use care, as both
products are flammable. Clean the charger contacts in the same way. UNPLUG CHARGER FIRST.
Make sure eraser dust and cleaners do not get inside the charger base. To re-align the charger
contacts, again make sure it is unplugged, and gently pull the metal loops on the four contacts
forward SLIGHTLY. Do not severely bend, deform, or damage the contacts.
