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. Place a few drops of
Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure F). 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 tooth brush. To clean the blades we suggest to
immerse the blades only into a shallow pan of Andis Clipper Oil, 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 G 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 G). 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 C).
2. Remove drive cap (Figure H).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure I).
