USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have attachment combs)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made
for your Andis clipper. The attachment combs are easy to use–they snap on and off.
To attach a comb, slip the attachment onto top edge of blade and snap down onto
bottom edge of blade. The attachment combs help guide the hair to the blades and
give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on each
attachment comb. Use the chart below 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.
REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched “Off”. Push blade
release mechanism under blade hinge (Figure G). While holding down the blade
release mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade forward (Figure
H) 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
(Figure I).
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.
REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the
clipper (Figure J) and with the clipper turned “ON”, push the blade towards the
clipper to lock into position.
