CLIPPER INDICATOR LIGHTS (SPEED AND CHARGE LEVEL)
When the clipper is running, a green Clipper Indicator Light means the battery has
a strong charge (Figure B). The light will turn yellow as the battery starts to run
down, indicating the battery has only a partial charge remaining. When the light
turns red, the battery may not hold enough charge to complete a large clipping
job, and should be recharged as soon as possible. If the clipper powers OFF,
move the power switch to the OFF position and place unit in the charging stand.
Automatically powering off protects the lithium-ion battery and is not a
malfunction. The clipper will resume normal operation when it is recharged.

Your clipper is equipped with five cutting speeds. The speeds are adjusted using
the speed adjustment button on the front of the unit (Figure B). To start your
clipper, move the power switch to the ON position. To increase your blade
speed, slide the button toward the blade of the clipper. To decrease your blade
speed, slide the button away from the blade of the clipper. You will see on the
LED display that when you change the speed, the LED's adjust accordingly
(Figure D). To shut your clipper OFF, move the power switch to the OFF position.
The unit will power on in the last speed setting you were in when you turned the
unit OFF.
NOTE: If the unit is placed in the charger stand with the power switch in the ON
position the motor will stop and the Clipper Indicator Light (Figure B) will flash all
five LED's in red. If this happens, remove the clipper from the charging stand and
move the power switch to the OFF position. Once the switch is in the OFF
position you can place the unit back in the charging stand.
NOTE: If charging stand indicator light is flashing, dirt or debris may have
collected on the charging contacts of the clipper and/or the charging base,
prohibiting proper electrical connection. To clean these contacts, use a soft, dry
cloth to wipe them clean.

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 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).
REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched off, then push
down on blade with one or both thumbs (Figure E) and slide blade off blade
hinge (Figure F). If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush with the
clipper, use a small standard screw driver to pry the tongue of the hinge out
(Figure G). NOTE: Hair may accumu late in the front cavity of the housing under
the blade. If this hap pens, you can clean out the hair by brushing out the cavity
with a small brush or an old toothbrush while the blade is off the clipper.
REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the
clipper (Figure F), and with the clipper turned "ON", push the blade towards the
clipper to lock into position.
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
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 H 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 I). 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 toothbrush. To
clean the blades we suggest to immerse the blades only into a shallow pan of
Andis Blade Care Plus, while the clipper is running. Any excess hair and dirt that
