REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched "Off". Push blade
release mechanism under blade hinge (Figure I). While holding down the blade
release mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade forward (Figure J)
and slide it off the blade hinge. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush
with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of the hinge out
(Figure K). NOTE: Hair may accumulate in the front cavity of the housing under the blade.
If this happens, 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 your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the
clipper (Figure L) and with the clipper turned "ON", push the blade towards the clipper
to lock into position.
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by
children without supervision.
The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated by
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.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service
agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
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.
With this 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
groomers.
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. Place a few drops of oil on the
front and side of the cutter blades (Figure M). 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. Always replace 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, clean, dry cloth and start clipping again.
