ADJUSTING THE CUTTING BLADES
-
Before clipping:
With the clippers OFF, tighten the adjustable
screw until slight resistance is felt, then tighten another quarter-
turn.
-
During clipping:
If the clippers stop clipping properly, tighten
the screw another quarter of a turn. If this does not improve cut
quality, sent the blades to an Optimum centre for sharpening.
REPLACING THE CUTTING BLADES
-
To replace the cutting blades, turn the clippers to “O” (OFF),
then unscrew the screws slightly until the 2 parts of the cutting
blades come free (see 2).
- To replace the cutting blades, position the upper part of the
latter into the 2 guides and lubricate in each of the four corners
(see 3), then position the lower part between the two tightening
screws (see 4). Adjust the cutting blades by adjusting the upper
part until it is 2 mm back from the lower part, then tighten the 2
adjustment screws (see 5 and 2), and lubricate in each of the four
corners (see 1).
