CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade, since the blade currently
being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive assembly needs replacement.
TO CHANGE THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove blade set (Figure M).
2. Remove drive cap by grabbing on both sides at top and sliding off (Figure R).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure S).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in reassembly).
Remove blade drive assembly (Figure T).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position (see Figure U for correct position of drive bearing), if not,
move it with your finger to lowest position (see Figure V for incorrect position of drive bearing).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Figure T).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Figure S).
8. Replace drive cap by sliding back on clipper into position (Figure R).
9. Replace blade (Figure M).
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your clipper does not develop a “memory effect” like a nickel-metal
hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You can return the clipper to the charger at any time for a
full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is complete. Like most rechargeable batteries,
lithium-ion batteries perform best when used frequently.
2. For maximum battery life, store the clipper in a partially discharged condition if the unit will be unused for
several months.
3. Avoid locating the clipper near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Optimum charging will result
where the temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery receiving less
than a full charge.
4. Many factors influence lithium-ion battery life. A battery that has received heavy use or is more than a year
old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
5. New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a full charge. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with the battery or charger. The battery will accept a full charge after several
cycles of clipper use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the clipper from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are anticipated.
CARE AND SERVICING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Your clipper and adapter cord are an integrated electrical system. Good electrical contact must be maintained
for the motor to deliver full power and lithium-ion battery to charge properly. Limited or erratic performance
caused by dirt or age can be corrected in the majority of cases.
