REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched OFF. Push
blade release mechanism under blade hinge (Figure B). While holding down the
blade release mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade
forward (Figure C), and slide it off the blade hinge. If your blade hinge should
snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry
the tongue of the hinge out (Figure D). NOTE: Hair may accumulate in the front
cavity of the housing under the blade. If this happens, 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 E) and with the clipper turned ON, push the blade towards
the clipper to lock into position.
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).
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. Place a few drops of
Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure F). 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 tooth brush. To clean the blades
we suggest to immerse 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 and
dry blades with a dry cloth and start clipping again.
