CLIPPER INDICATOR LIGHTS (SPEED AND CHARGE LEVEL)
When the clipper is running, a green clipper indicator light means the battery has a strong charge
(Figure G). The light will turn yellow as the battery starts to run down, indicating the battery has
only a partial charge remaining. When the light turns red, the battery may not hold enough charge
to complete a large clipping job, and should be recharged as soon as possible. If the clipper
powers OFF, move the power switch to the OFF position and place battery or clipper in the
charging stand.
Automatically powering off protects the lithium-ion battery and is not a malfunction. The clipper
will resume normal operation when it is recharged.
Your clipper is equipped with five cutting speeds. The speeds are adjusted using the speed
adjustment button on the front of the unit (Figure G). To start your clipper, move the power switch
to the ON position. To increase your blade speed, slide the button toward the blade of the clipper.
To decrease your blade speed, slide the button away from the blade of the clipper. You will see on
the LED display that when you change the speed, the LED’s adjust accordingly (Figure I). To shut
your clipper OFF, move the power switch to the OFF position. The unit will power on in the last
speed setting you were in when you turned the unit OFF.
NOTE:
If charging stand indicator light is flashing, dirt or debris may have collected on the
charging contacts of the clipper, battery pack and/or the charging base, prohibiting proper
electrical connection. To clean these contacts, use a soft, dry cloth to wipe them clean. The
charging stand indicator light may turn off if the battery is too hot to charge. When the battery has
cooled, normal charging will resume. It is recommended to keep the charging stand out of direct
sunlight and away from heat sources, to avoid this temperature condition.
BATTERY INDICATOR LIGHTS (CHARGE LEVEL)
When the battery is not in the clipper, press and release the charge level button on the bottom of
the battery pack (Figure J) to see the charge level indicator light. A green light means there is
sufficient charge. A red light means there is medium to low charge (less than 15 minutes). No light
means the battery requires immediate charging.
REPLACING THE BATTERY PACK
To remove the battery pack from the clipper, press the tab on the back of the battery pack and
slide the battery out (Figure F). To replace the battery pack, slide the battery into the clipper.
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.
REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched off, then push down on blade
with one or both thumbs (Figure K) and slide blade off blade hinge (Figure L). If your blade hinge
should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screw driver to pry the tongue
