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. The clipper 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 blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain
insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper blade 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 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.
If upon cleaning your blades you find that the blades will still not cut, there may be
a few fine pieces of hair trapped between the upper and lower blade. If this
happens, you will need to snap the blade off the clipper. Proceed to slide the upper
blade to one side, without loosening the tension spring or moving the upper blade
completely out from under the tension spring (See Figure J for position of blade).
Wipe the surface between the blades clean with a dry cloth, then place a drop of
clipper oil where the upper and lower blades meet and also in the guide slot of the
tension spring (Figure J). Now slide the upper blade to the opposite side of the
lower blade and repeat this process. After completing this procedure, slide the
upper blade, centering it over the lower blade. Handle or store your Andis clipper
with the blades down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade,
since the blade currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive
assembly needs replacement.
TO CHANGE THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove blade set (Figure F).
2. Remove drive cap by grabbing both sides at top and sliding off (Figure K).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure L).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this
will help you in reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Figure M).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position (See Figure N for correct position
of drive bearing), if not, move it with your finger to lowest position (See Figure O
for incorrect position of drive bearing).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Figure M).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Figure L).
8. Replace drive cap by sliding back on clipper into position (Figure K).
9. Replace blade (Figure F).
