connector fork “seats” itself on the inside
“point” on the nylon bracket. Push upper
blade slightly to opposite side of bracket on
the connector fork. Place lower blade on top
of the upper blade and align the screw holes
of blade to blade pad (see Diagram H) and
replace screws. Do not tighten down screws
completely. Turn clipper over and align lower
blade so teeth of both blades are parallel but
with lower blade teeth slightly above the
upper blade teeth (see Diagram I). Failure to
do this may result in nipping the skin of
your customer when cutting
the hair.
ATTACHING THE CLIPPER COMBS
(Not always included with purchase of clipper)
The clipper comb blade attachments
mount easily. Just snap them on.
Snap them off. Combs help guide
hair to cutting blades and give you
precise control of hair lengths. Each
comb allows a different length of cut
which is indicated on the combs:
1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" & 1".
You can always set the blades for a
coarser cut by attaching any of the
snap-on blade attachments made for
your Andis Clipper/Trimmer.
To use blade attachment, slip the
cutter blade teeth into blade attach-
ment. Snap the blade attachment
down, they snap on and off easily. These attachments guide hair
into the clipper blades and give you precise control of hair
lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the blade attachment:
1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" & 1". Use the following chart to
find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in rela-
tion to the skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cut-
ting length.
CLIPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis Adjustable Clipper Blade
set is easy to adjust. From coarse to
fine cuts, all that’s needed is a flick of
the adjustment lever with your thumb.
In the upright position, blades are set
for the finest, or shortest cuts.

FACTORY REPAIR SERVICE
When the blades of your Andis clipper/trimmer become dull after
repeated use, it is advised to purchase a new set of blades avail-
able through your Andis Supplier or through an Andis Authorized
Repair Station listed in this manual. (On Models ML, & SM, only
blade sets can be resharpened by an Authorized Andis Repair
Service Station. Please check the blades for missing teeth, as this
is considered a broken blade and not resharpenable). If you wish
your clipper/trimmer to be serviced as well, it should be carefully
packed and mailed either Parcel Post Insured, or U.P.S. to any of
the Service Centers listed in this manual.
