THIS PRODUCT INTENDED FOR HOUSEHOLD USE
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Please read the following instructions before using your new Andes Trimmer. Give it the care that a fine precision built instrument deserves and it will give you years of service. This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).

As a safety feature, the 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 attempt to defeat this safety feature. Plug cord into electrical outlet, operate at 120 volt, 60 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. To start trimmer move switch button to on position, to stop, move switch button back to original position.

USER MAINTENANCE
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 Repair Service Station.

CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES
Blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your trimmer blades leave streaks or slows down, it’s a sure sign blades need oil. The trimmer should be held in a position shown (Diagram B) to prevent oil from getting into motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Diagram

A). Wipe excess oil off blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent trimmer 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 Trimmer Oil, while the trimmeris running. Any excess hair and dirt that has accumulated between the blades should comeout. After cleaning, turn your trimmer off anddry blades with a dry cloth and start clipping again.

REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET
To remove the blades, first unplug the clipper from the electrical outlet. Turn the clipper upside down, so that the blade teeth are pointing down.You may want to place the clipper on a flat surface to do this. Unscrew the screws on the blade (Diagram C). Remove the blade. To replace the blade, put the blade back into position while aligning the yoke of the blade with the pivot arm of the trimmer. (Diagram D). Line up the screw holes in the bottom blade with the two holes in the trimmer housing, and replace screws. Do not over tighten screws.

Attaching The Clipper Combs

The clipper comb blade attachments mount easily. Just snap them on. Snap them off. Combs help guide hair to cutting blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. Each comb allows a different length of cut which is indicated on the combs: 1/16″, 1/8″, 1/4″, and 3/8″. You can always set blades for a coarser cut by attaching any of the four snap-on blade attachments (Diagram E).

To use a blade attachment, slip the cutter blade teeth into blade attachment (Diagram F).

Snap blade attachment down, they snap on and off easily (Diagram G).

These attachments guide hair into the trimmer blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the blade attachment: 1/16″, 1/8″, 1/4″, and 3/8″.

Use the following chart to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in relation to the skin, thickness and textureof the hair will vary the cutting length.
