carE aNd SErvIcING of Your aNdIS trImmEr BLadES
Blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your trimmer
blades leave streaks or slows down, it's a sure sign blades need oil. The
trimmer should be held in the position shown in Figure D to prevent oil
from getting into motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the
front and side of the cutter blades (Figure E). Wipe excess oil off blades
with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good
lubrication, but are an excellent 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 tooth brush. To clean the
blades we suggest to immerse 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 and dry blades with a dry cloth and start
clipping again.

NotE: If you are familiar with replacing and adjusting T-Edjer trimmer
blades, please read the following blade replacement instructions. If you
are not familiar with this procedure, please return trimmer to your supplier
or an Andis Authorized Service Station for blade replacement and
adjustment.
To remove blade set from your trimmer, unplug your trimmer from the
electrical outlet. Turn the trimmer upside down so the teeth of blades are
facing down. You may wish to set the trimmer on a flat surface while
performing these operations. Using a philips type screwdriver, unscrew
the two blade screws (Figure F). Remove blade set from trimmer. To install
your new trimmer blade set, align hole in upper blade (smaller of the two
blades) and center over nylon roller (ball) of the trimmer's tension spring
(Figure G). Align screw holes of lower blade (larger of the two blades) to
armature screw holes. While holding blade in place, replace blade screws;
do not tighten down completely. Turn trimmer over and align the blade
set parallel to the trimmer's upper housing.
ImportaNt: Check blade alignment, making sure the teeth of the upper
blade rest slightly below the upper edge of teeth on lower blade. Failure
to check the position of blade may cause cutting or scratching of your
client's skin when trimming. Tighten down blade screws firmly. If after
turning on the trimmer you notice the hair guard (Figure H) is hitting the
6
upper blade, loosen (with standard screwdriver) hair guard screws slightly
and adjust hair guard away from the upper blade approximately 1/32".
Tighten down hair guard screws.
rEpLacEmENt (rEmovaL) of BLadE SEt for
SLII, SL3 trImmErS
Your Andis SLII and SL3 trimmers have a preset tension assembly on the
blade set. To remove blade set from your trimmer, unplug trimmer from
electrical outlet. Turn the trimmer upside down so teeth of blades are
facing down. You may wish to set the trimmer on a flat surface while
performing these operations. Using a philips type screwdriver, unscrew
the two blade screws (Figure F). Remove blade set from trimmer. Install
new blade set, making sure the blade yoke cradles the armature pin on
trimmer (Figure I). There is no need to adjust blade tension before use, as
tension has been preset at the factory. Align screw holes of blade set to
screw inserts on trimmer housing. Replace the screws. Before tightening
down blade screws, check alignment of blade set to housing, making sure
that they are parallel. Tighten down screws.
poWEr adJuStmENt for modELS SLII aNd SL3
Your Andis trimmer has been adjusted to line voltage at the factory.
However, because of voltage variations it may be necessary to adjust the
power setting for your area. If the power adjustment is off, you will usually
notice a "clatter", when the trimmer is on or introduced into the hair. (It is
normal for your trimmer to "clatter" for an instant when initially turned on).
to adJuSt Your trImmEr:
1. Oil the blades (Figure E).
2. The power screw is located in the lower part of the housing opposite
the switch (Figure J).
3. Turn your trimmer ON.
4. Using a standard screw driver that fits the slot, turn the powescrew
counter clockwise until the trimmer clatters continuously. Then turn the
screw clockwise carefully until the clatter ceases.
5. Your trimmer is now adjusted to its optimum power setting.
