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. 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 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, 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.
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your clipper does not develop a "memory
effect" like a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You
can plug the adapter cord into the clipper 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 clipper in a partially discharged condition if
the unit will be unused for several months.
3. Do not store clipper under 50°F or over 104°F. Do not expose clipper to excessively
damp conditions.
4. Avoid locating the clipper 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.
