USER MAINTENANCE
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. To contact Andis directly, please call our Customer
Support Team at 1-800-558-9441 or email us at info@andisco.com.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES
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 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 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 the provided blade cleaning 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 (Figure H). 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
trimming again.
REMOVAL/REPLACEMENT OF BLADE SET
To remove the blade, unplug the trimmer from the electrical outlet.
Hold the trimmer so that the blade teeth are pointing up. Press forward on blade
(Figures J & K).
To replace, insert blade back into position and snap back into place (Figure L).
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.
