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 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.

it is advised to purchase a new set of blades available through your Andis Supplier or
