USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
Your trimmer may come with 4 attachment combs: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4" and
3/8" (Figure J). To use, slide front of attachment comb over the teeth of the
blade (Figure K). Snap comb down over back of blade (Figure L). Use the
trimming guide 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.
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
If trimmer is not going to be used for a long period of time, store in a safe,
cool, dry place. Do not wrap adapter cord tightly around trimmer. Do not
hang the trimmer by the adapter cord.
The internal mechanism of your trimmer has been permanently lubricated at
the factory. Other than the recommended maintenance described in this
manual, no other maintenance should be performed, except by Andis
Company or an Andis authorized service station.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES
The blades should be oiled before,
during
, and after each use. If your
trimmer blades leave streaks or slow down, it’s a sure sign that the blades
need oil. The trimmer should be held in the position shown in Figure M 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 N). Wipe excess oil off
the blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for
good lubrication, but are an excellent trimmer 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 an old toothbrush. To clean the
blades we suggest immersing the
blades only
into a shallow pan of Andis
Blade Care Plus, while the trimmer is running. Any excess hair and dirt that
has accumulated between the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn
your trimmer off, dry the blades with a soft, dry cloth and start clipping or
trimming again.
REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET
Your trimmer has a preset tension assembly on the blade set. To remove
blade set from your trimmer, remove from charger base or unplug from
power cord. Hold the trimmer so that the blade teeth are pointing up. Using
a Phillips-head type screwdriver, unscrew the blade attachment screw
(Figure O). Press forward on blade (Figures P & Q). To replace the blade,
line up the bottom hook of blade with the slot on the trimmer and snap into
place (Figure R). Replace blade attachment screw and gently hand tighten.
There is no need to adjust blade tension before use, as tension has been
preset at the factory.
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your trimmer does not develop a
“memory effect” like a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium
(NiCd) battery. You can return the trimmer 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 trimmer in a partially discharged
condition if the unit will be unused for several months. To discharge the
battery, run the trimmer under normal conditions. Battery should be
recharged again before re-use.
3. Avoid locating the trimmer 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.
