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
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. Hold the clipper with the blades
pointing down 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 D). 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 has accumulated between the blades should
come out. After cleaning, turn your clipper off and dry blades with a soft, dry cloth
and start clipping again.
REMOVING 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 blade (Figure E).
Remove the blade.
REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace the blade, put the blade back into position while aligning the yoke of the
upper blade with the cam and tension spring of the clipper (Figure F). Line up the
screw holes in the bottom blade with the two holes in the blade bracket, and replace
screws. Do not over tighten screws.
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. Some blade sets can be resharpened–contact Andis
Company for information on resharpening. 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).
Caution: Never handle your Andis clipper while you are operating a water faucet,
and never hold your clipper under a water faucet or in water. There is danger of
electrical shock and damage to your clipper. Andis Company will not be
responsible in case of injury due to this carelessness.
