Servicing of a Double Insulated Appliance

In a double insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of 

grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor 

should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated appliance 

requires extreme care and knowledge of the system and should be done only by 

qualified service personnel. 
Replacement parts must be identical to those parts being replaced. 
A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or 

“DOUBLE INSULATED” 
The symbol may also be marked on the appliance.

Blade Care and Cleaning
Lubricating
Blades should be oiled regularly to reduce heat and maintain sharpness. 

Before removing the blade, be sure it has cooled down.
1.  With clipper in off position, push blade 

away from clipper with your thumb.

2.  Place 1 or 2 drops of Oster

®

 Clipper and 

Blade Lube™ oil on the blade. Wipe 

excess oil with a dry, soft cloth. 

3.  Turn on clipper and push blade toward 

clipper until it snaps securely into place.

Cleaning 
1.  Clean the excess hair from your blades 

by using the cleaning brush.

2.  To clean the blades, plug clipper into electrical outlet and turn on.
3.  In a shallow pan, immerse blade teeth into Oster

 Blade Wash

cleaning solution. 

CAUTION: DO NOT IMMERSE THE CLIPPER.
4.  Remove blade from cleaning solution and while holding clipper blade 

end down, wipe the blades with a dry, clean cloth. 

5.  If after cleaning, you find that the blades still do not cut properly, it is 

possible that a few fine pieces of hair are still trapped between the 

blades. 

6.  If this occurs, remove the blade. Without loosening the tension springs 

screws, slide the upper blade to one side but not completely out from 

under the tension spring. 

7.  Wipe the surface between the blades clean with a dry cloth. Place a 

drop of oil where the upper and lower blades meet and in the guide slot 

of the tension spring.

8.  Slide upper blade to the other side and repeat process.

Sharpening
Oster

®

 cutting blades are of individual hollow-ground design, hardened to 

extend cutting life. As with any cutting tool, the cutting edges will become 

dull after extensive use. If sharpening is necessary, send blades to an Oster 

Authorized Service Center.

Removing and Replacing Worn Out Carbon Brushes
Your clipper contains a carbon brush that will wear out with normal use. 

When this begins to occur, the clipper will operate intermittently. If the clipper 

does not turn on, this is a sign that the carbon brush is worn out and needs 

to be replaced. 
Important: 
• 

You will need to replace both carbon brushes at the same time, 

even if only one brush is worn out.

• 

Use only Oster

®

 carbon brushes. Carbon brushes used in electric 

motors are carefully selected for size and grain to ensure optimum 

performance. Using other brushes will compromise your clipper’s 

performance.

To remove and replace carbon brush, follow below instructions:
1.  Unscrew and remove brush cap.

 

Tip: A dime is an ideal tool for loosening the cap.

action.

if length is reduced to 5 mm or less.

5.  To insert new carbon brush, hold the 

brush and turn it until it falls into place. 

6.  If spring became loose, insert it into 

brush tube.

7.  Place brass cap over the spring, press-

ing down to seat brass cap into the 

brush tube.

8.  Insert nylon cap over brass cap.
