With the blade seated on the tongue and held in place with the fingers
of your other hand, press the upper portion of the blade towards the
clipper body - it should “snap” shut. (This can be done with the motor
running and will not effect the performance of the clipper - whilst
normally quiet a safe operation for adults NOT children! just exercise
care against possible personal injury). Check the blade is right home to
the clipper casing - a gap of about 0.5 - 1½ mm is normal.
The blade is now fitted! In some cases especially with new
blades/machines, the blade may requires a further degree of pressure
to make sure it is right home to the casing This soon ceases once the
blades have been used a few times.
However before you rush to switch on. Oil the blades before
commencing a test run with the clipper
(When operating for the first time after changing blades the machine
should be pointed away from you and/or any animal before switching on
to test.)
Now test the clipper.
Tensioning the blades:
One of the joys of the
“snap-on” blade is that
there is no tensioning to
be carried out!
However some blades,
especially those of other
manufacturers, may in
certain instances need
adjustment. In a normal
situation you should be
able to move the cutter
blade backwards and
forwards with moderate
pressure within the
"tension spring" hold. Do
not undo the blade
screws as this will affect
the blade alignment and
may cause the blade to
jam and not cut.
To make any adjustment (See Fig 4) simply place the blade flat on a table surface, (screws side down) with the
blade teeth pointing away from you. Next slide the cutter blade to the right, then place a flat headed screwdriver
between the blade spring and the comb, now with gentle pressure pry upwards only sufficiently to slightly slacken
the tension. If you over do it you will end up with the tension too loose!
Oiling:
Oiling of the blades should be carried out at regular intervals during the clipping application. Apply a small quantity
of oil on the ends of the blades whilst the trimmer is running. Only use clipper oil or light machine oil of good
quality
Attachment Combs:
Are not supplied with the clipper but can be obtained in various sizes. Their purpose is to allow a specific depth of
hair to be left on the body irrespective of the angle you may clip. They are easily attached by clipping over the
blade from front to back.
