REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched off, then push down on blade
with one or both thumbs (Figure L) and slide blade off blade hinge (Figure M). If your blade hinge
should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screw driver to pry the tongue
of the hinge out (Figure N). NOTE: Hair may accumu late in the front cavity of the housing under the
blade. If this hap pens, 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 M),
and with the clipper turned "ON", push the blade towards the clipper to lock into position.
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 blades need oil. The clipper should be held in the position shown in
Figure O 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 P). 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 dry cloth and start clipping again.
If upon cleaning your blades you find that the blades will still not cut, there may be a few fine pieces
of hair trapped between the upper and lower blade. If this happens, you will need to snap the blade
off the clipper. Proceed to slide the upper blade to one side, without loosening the tension spring or
moving the upper blade completely out from under the tension spring (see Figure Q for position of
blade). Wipe the surface between the blades clean with a dry cloth, then place a drop of clipper oil
where the upper and lower blades meet and also in the guide slot of the tension spring (Figure Q).
Now slide the upper blade to the opposite side of the lower blade and repeat this process. After
completing this procedure, slide the upper blade, centering it over the lower blade. Handle or store
your Andis clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade, since the blade
currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive assembly needs replacement.
TO CHANGE THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove blade set (Figure M).
2. Remove drive cap by grabbing on both sides at top and sliding off (Figure R).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure S).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in
reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Figure T).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position (see Figure U for correct position of drive bearing),
if not, move it with your finger to lowest position (see Figure V for incorrect position of drive
bearing).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Figure T).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Figure S).
8. Replace drive cap by sliding back on clipper into position (Figure R).
9. Replace blade (Figure M).
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.
