SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before starting the clipper remove the blade guard. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet,
operate at 230 volt, 50 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. To start the clipper
move the switch button to the ON position. To stop, move the switch button back to the original
position. After using your Andis clipper, rewrap the cord and store in a safe place.
USING THE ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made for your
Andis clipper. The combs mount easily; simply slip the cutter blade teeth into comb and snap
the comb down. To remove, simply snap off (Figures A & B). These attachment combs guide hair
into the blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on
the attachment comb. Use the chart to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade
angles in relation to the skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
CLIPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis adjustable clipper blade set is easy to adjust. From coarse to fine cuts, all that is
needed is a flick of the adjustment lever with your thumb. In the upright position, the blades are
set for the finest, or shortest cuts (Figure C).
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children
without supervision.
The internal mechanism of your clipper 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.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or
similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
POWER ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis clipper has been adjusted to line voltage at the factory. However, because of voltage
variations, it may be necessary to adjust the power setting for your area. If the power adjustment
is off, you will usually notice a “clatter” when the clipper is on or introduced into the hair. (It is
normal for your clipper to “clatter” for an instant when initially turned on).
TO ADJUST YOUR CLIPPER
1. Oil the blades.
2. The power screw is located in the lower part of the housing opposite the switch (Figure D).
3. Turn your clipper ON.
4. Using a screwdriver that fits the slot, turn the power screw clockwise until the clipper clatters
continuously. Then turn the screw counterclockwise carefully until the clatter ceases.
5. Your clipper is now adjusted to its optimum power setting.
The power screw is a special part and it must not be replaced by any other screw except the
original part of the appliance.
