CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS CLIPPER BLADES
The blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper
blades leave streaks or slow down, it's a sure sign that the blades need oil. The
clipper should be held in the position shown in Figure E 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 F). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray
lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper
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 clipper is running. Any excess hair and dirt that has
accumulated between the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn your
clipper off, dry the blades with a soft, dry cloth and start clipping again.
BLADE REMOVAL
TURN OFF CLIPPER. Turn clipper over and place on hard, flat surface so teeth of
clipper face down. Unscrew blade screws. Remove lower blade. Remove the upper
blade by pulling blade toward you and away from the body of the clipper. The
blade bracket will detach from the clipper, staying connected to the upper blade
(Figure G).
BLADE REPLACEMENT
To reinstall a new blade bracket, press new bracket firmly into the pin slots of the
upper blade. Once the bracket is in place, align the springs in the clipper into the
slots on the bracket and press firmly into the clipper (Figure H). Place lower blade
on top of upper blade, keeping tension on the upper blade at all times. Set the
blade gap of the upper blade to your preference, taking care that it does not
overhang the lower blade as this can cause damage to skin. Reattach the two blade
screws, once again confirming that the upper blade does not travel over the lower
blade while the lever arm is in the shortest (upright) position (Figure I).
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your clipper 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 under normal conditions. Battery should be recharged again before
re-use.
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.
