SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
THIS PRODUCT INTENDED FOR PROFESSIONAL USE
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Please read the following instructions before using your new Andis clipper. Give it the care that a fine precision-built instrument deserves and it will give you years of service. Plug cord into electrical outlet, operate 120 volt, 60 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on unit.

2-SPEED OPERATION
Your Andis clipper comes with normal and high speed operation (Diagram A). Use the normal setting (setting #1) for most cutting needs. Use the high speed setting (setting #2) for cutting through heavy hair. To start clipper move switch button by pressing down on the lock mechanism and moving to the #1 or

2 position. To stop, press down on the lock mechanism and move switch button

back to original position. After using your Andis clipper, rewrap cord, and store in a safe place.

REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched “OFF”. Push blade release mechanism under blade hinge (Diagram B). While holding down the blade release mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade forward (Diagram C), and slide it off the blade hinge. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of the hinge out (Diagram D). 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 (See Diagram E for location of cavity being referenced).

REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper (Diagram F) and with the clipper turned “ON”, push the blade towards the clipper to lock into position.

USER MAINTENANCE

The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated by 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. To find an Andis Authorized Service Station near you log on to www.andis.com or contact our customer service department: 1-800-558-9441 (U.S.) or 1-800-335-4093 (Canada).

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 oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Diagram G). 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 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 clean 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 Diagram H 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 (Diagram H). 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 (Diagram I).
2. Remove drive cap (Diagram J).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Diagram K).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Diagram L).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position, if not, move it with your finger to lowest position (Diagrams M & N).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Diagram L).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Diagram K).
8. Replace drive cap (Diagram J).
9. Replace blade (Diagram O).

FACTORY REPAIR SERVICE
When the blades of your Andis clipper become dull after repeated use, it is advised to purchase a new set of blades available through your Andis supplier or through an Andis Authorized Service Station. Some blade sets can be resharpened–contact Andis Company for information on resharpening. To find an Andis Authorized Service Station near you log on to www.andis.com or contact our customer service department: 1-800-558-9441 (U.S.) or 1-800-335-4093 (Canada).

How do I use the Andis 2-Speed Detachable Clipper Blade?

The Andis 2-Speed Detachable Clipper Blade is a great tool for clipping and trimming hair. To use the Andis 2-Speed Detachable Clipper Blade, you will need to attach it to your clipper. You can do this by lining up the groove on the bottom of the blade with the peg on your clipper. Then, push down and twist to lock the blade in place.

Once that screw is removed, you can pull off your old blade and replace it with a new one by sliding it into place over that same peg where you removed a screw before (the peg should be sticking out of your clippers).

What can I do if after the fourth use, the clippers’ blades stop cutting?

The blades and screws likely need to be straightened and tightened. The instructions will demonstrate how to remove the blades. What likely occurred was that the thick hair colgged the blades. I experienced the same thing. I removed the blades, cleaned them with a soft brush, lubricated them, then put them back together, tightened them up, and placed them back on the cutter. If this doesn’t work, you might also need to buy new blades. Blades will deteriorate.

Does this clipper accommodate the cat blade?

Although I don’t groom cats, I believe the cat blades would work. Only for specific clippers, it would say on the package. However, I don’t recall ever seeing that in the clipper information.

Will this be effective for everyone?

I strongly advise. Our two goldendoodles are quite nappy. Not even able to brush the naps away. Since we don’t groom them in the winter, this is an excellent way to get rid of the naps.

Do you need an additional 3mm blade for the body?

Depending on the styles you want to cut, you may require an additional one or two blades, but generally speaking.

Which two speeds are they?

Both speeds are high; you may choose which is faster for complete coats and which is slower for delicate parts like the legs, feet, and tail. I think of it in that way. I use the high-speed on the body of my long-haired German Shepherd.

Do clippers have blades?

They include a blade. Because some individuals claimed the blade gets hot, I purchased a second. I have not yet utilised a second blade when giving my three dogs their one-inch pupy cuts using guides.

How low do these go if you don’t obtain an attachment?

My tiny schnauzer has two coats since I own him. Unless you’re giving him a 7, they should typically be cut with the top low and bottom long (cut low all over). I employ zero guards. He gets a nice, clean low cut thanks to these clippers. You wouldn’t get an unremarkable cut unless you were probing deep into fur. You will need to purchase attachments if you don’t want your dog to be low. I adore these clippers because they cut like butter. I haven’t yet used these to insert a plug in him. I advise watching multiple videos on how to properly trim your specific dog. You’ll learn if attachments are required.

Does this have a blade in it?

Yes, it comes with one blade, but there are no instructions to connect to the blade to measure the length of the hair. if you own multiple dogs. Or a large dog, it is practical to purchase a spare blade to switch out when one heats up (from the buzzing friction). Or you can wait till it cools for ten minutes.

Who actually uses the low speed?

I typically use the fast speed. I occasionally use the low speed for the ears. My miniature schnauzer’s ears are shaved. I move slowly because the area is sensitive. Everything depends on the kind of pet you have and the cuts you want to make. My dog gets annoyed by the buzzing sound even at modest speeds. For trimming, I ultimately purchased a wireless clipper that operates at a slower speed and is considerably quieter. makes grooming my dog and I easier.
