and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of
the hinge out (Figure E). 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 F) and with the clipper turned "ON", push the blade towards the
clipper to lock into position.
USER MAINTENANCE
The internal mechanism of your clipper has been permanently lubricated at 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.
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.
If you have a 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 that the blades need oil. Place a few
drops of oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure G). Wipe excess oil
