To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is
switched “OFF”. Push blade release mechanism under blade
hinge (Diagram J). While holding down the blade release
mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade
forward (Diagram K), 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 (Diagram L).

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 (See Diagram M for location of
cavity being referenced).

Removing Blade Set

To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket
onto the hinge of the clipper (Diagram N), and with the clipper

turned “ON”

, push the blade towards the clipper to lock into

position.

Replacing or Changing Blade Set

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 Repair Service Station.

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 oil on the front and side
of the cutter blades (Diagram O). 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 toothbrush. 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 clean 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 Diagram P 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
(Diagram N). 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.
