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.

CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES
The 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 G 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 H). 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 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 trimmer is running. 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.
