REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched off, then push on
the top of the blade to disengage the tabs holding the blade set to the unit (Figure D).
NOTE:
Hair may accumu late in the front cavity of the housing under the blade. If this
hap pens, 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 the blade set, insert the hook on the bottom of the blade into
the opening on the housing and rotate up so that the spring tabs engage with the
blade set (Figure E) and you feel it snap into place. When properly assembled, there
should not be any play between the blade set and the clipper housing.
BLADE TEMPERATURE
Due to the high speed nature of Andis clippers, please check for blade heat often,
especially on close cutting blades. If blades are too hot, dip the blades only into
Andis Blade Care Plus or apply Andis Cool Care Plus and then Andis Clipper Oil. If
you have a detachable blade unit, you can change your blade in order to maintain a
comfortable temperature; using multiple blades of the same size is popular among
professionals.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS CLIPPER BLADES
Blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper blades leave
streaks or slow down, it’s a sure sign blades need oil. The clipper should be held in
the position shown in Figure F to prevent oil from getting into the motor. Place a
few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure G).
Wipe excess oil off blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient
oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper blade coolant. Discontinue use
of broken or nicked blades to prevent injury. You can clean the excess hair from
your blades by using a small brush or worn out toothbrush. To clean the blades we
suggest to immerse the blades only into a shallow pan of Andis Blade Care Plus,
while the clipper is running. Any excess hair and dirt that has accumulated between
the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn your clipper off and dry blades with
a soft, dry cloth and start clipping again.
