SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

THIS PRODUCT IS INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD 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.
Before starting the clipper, remove the blade guard (some models may not have a blade guard). Plug the cord into an electrical outlet, and operate at 120 volts, 60 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. To start the clipper, move the switch button to the ON position. To stop the clipper, move the switch button back to its original position. After using your clipper, rewrap the cord and store it in a safe place.

USING ATTACHMENT COMBS

(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)

You can set the blades for a coarser cut by attaching any of the snap-on attachment combs made for your clipper. The attachment combs mount easily–they snap on and off (Figures A & B). These attachment combs guide hair into the clipper blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the comb: 1/8″, 1/4″, 3/8″, and 1/2″.
Use the chart to find the approximate lengths of the cut. Different blade angles in relation to the skin, thickness, and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.

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).

Removing Blade Set

To remove blade set, first, make sure your clipper is switched OFF and UNPLUGGED. Push down on the blade, then gently pull the blade forward (Figure 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 (Figure 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.

REPLACING OR CHANGING THE BLADE SET

To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper (Figure E) 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 the 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 sure sign blades need oil. The clipper should be held in the position shown in Figure F 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 G). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are excellent clipper blade coolants. Always replace broken or nicked blades to prevent injury. You can clean the excess hair from your blades by using a small brush or a worn-out toothbrush. To clean the blades we suggest immersing 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 the 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 for the position of the 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 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. Please contact an Andis Authorized Service Station for replacement.

Servicing of a Double-insulated Clipper

In a double-insulated clipper, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated clipper, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated clipper requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by an Andis Authorized Service Station. Replacement parts must be identical to those parts being replaced. A double-insulated clipper is marked by the words

FACTORY REPAIR SERVICE
