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 I 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 J). 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. Always replace broken or nicked blades to prevent injury. You can
clean the excess hair from your blades by using a small brush or old toothbrush. To clean the
blades we suggest immersing the
blades only
into a shallow pan of Andis Clipper Oil, 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 dry cloth and start
clipping or trimming again.
REPLACING THE BLADE SET
Align blade yoke and armature pin in correct position before replacement of blade set (Figure K).
To remove the blades, first unplug the clipper from the electrical outlet. Hold the clipper so
that the blade teeth are pointing up. Press forward on blade (Figure L). To replace the blade,
line up the bottom hook of blade with the slot on the clipper and snap into place (Figure M).
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 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. To discharge the battery, run the clipper until it automatically
shuts off.
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 trimmer use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the trimmer from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are
anticipated.
