User Maintenance; Care And Servicing Of Your Andis Trimmer Blades - Andis ORL Instrucciones De Uso Y Cuidado

USER MAINTENANCE

Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
If trimmer is not going to be used for a long period of time, store in a safe, cool, dry place. Do not
wrap adapter cord tightly around trimmer. Do not hang the trimmer by the adapter cord.
The internal mechanism of your trimmer has been permanently lubricated at 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.

CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES

The blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your trimmer blades leave streaks or
slow down, it's a sure sign that the blades need oil. The trimmer should be held in the position shown
in Figure N 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 O). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft dry cloth.
Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent trimmer coolant.
Discontinue use of 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 Blade Care Plus, while the trimmer is running. Any excess hair
and dirt that has accumulated between the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn your trimmer
off, dry the blades with a soft, dry cloth and start clipping or trimming again.
REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET
Your trimmer has a preset tension assembly on the blade set. To remove blade set from your trimmer,
remove from charger base or unplug from power cord. Hold the trimmer so that the blade teeth are
pointing up. Using a Phillips-head type screwdriver, unscrew the blade attachment screw (Figure P).
Press forward on blade (Figures Q & R). To replace the blade, line up the bottom hook of blade with
the slot on the trimmer and snap into place (Figure S). Replace blade attachment screw and gently
hand tighten. There is no need to adjust blade tension before use, as tension has been preset at the
factory.
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your trimmer does not develop a "memory effect" like a
nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You can return the trimmer to the
charger at any time for a full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is complete. Like
most rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when used frequently.
2. For maximum battery life, store the trimmer in a partially discharged condition if the unit will not
be used for several months. To discharge the battery, run the trimmer under normal conditions.
Battery should be recharged again before re-use.
3. Avoid locating the trimmer near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Optimum charging will
result where the temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery
receiving less than a full charge.
4. Many factors influence lithium-ion battery life. A battery that has received heavy use or is more
than a year old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
5. New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a full charge. This is normal
and does not indicate a problem with the battery or charger. The battery will accept a full charge
after several cycles of trimmer use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the trimmer from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are
anticipated.
DISPOSAL OF BATTERY PACKS
As a consumer you are legally obliged to dispose of batteries and battery packs as special waste.
Information regarding how to remove the battery pack from the relevant device at the end of
its life can be found on page 97. After removing the battery pack, the device must be disposed
of and may NOT be used again.
