NOTE: If trimmer automatically powers OFF while in use, it may take 1-2
minutes to resume normal operation after power cord is plugged in.
USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
Your trimmer may come with 4 attachment combs: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4" and 3/8" (Figure K).
To use, slide front of attachment comb over the teeth of the blade (Figure L). Snap
comb down over back of blade (Figure M). Different blade angles in relation to the
skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made
by children without supervision.
If trimmer is not going to be used for a long period of time, store in a safe, cool, dry
place. Do not wrap adapter cord tightly around trimmer. Do not hang the trimmer by
the adapter cord.
The internal mechanism of your trimmer 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.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES
The blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your trimmer blades
leave streaks or slow down, it's a sure sign that the blades need oil. The trimmer
should be held in the position shown in Figure N 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 O). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants
contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent trimmer 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 trimmer is running. Any excess hair and dirt that has
accumulated between the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn your trimmer
off, dry the blades with a soft, dry cloth and start clipping or trimming again.
REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET
Your trimmer has a preset tension assembly on the blade set. To remove blade set
from your trimmer, remove from charger base or unplug from power cord. Hold the
trimmer so that the blade teeth are pointing up. Using a Phillips-head type
screwdriver, unscrew the blade attachment screw (Figure P). Press forward on blade
(Figures Q & R). To replace the blade, line up the bottom hook of blade with the slot
on the trimmer and snap into place (Figure S). Replace blade attachment screw and
gently hand tighten. There is no need to adjust blade tension before use, as tension
has been preset at the factory.
