OPERATE ON VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON CLIPPER

THE FOLLOWING PARAGRAPH IS FOR 120-VOLT MARKETS ONLY
To reduce the risk of electrical shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits a polarized outlet only one way. This is a safety feature intended to help reduce the risk of electrical shock. If the plug does not fit fully into the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature and change it in any way.

ABOUT THIS CLIPPER

Clipper Operation

Remove the blade guard from the unit which is covering the teeth of the blades.
Disperse a few drops of Oster ® Premium Lubricating Oil across the blades. Wipe off excess with a clean, dry cloth.
Clean clippings from the blades using the cleaning brush. Wipe the housing with a clean, dry cloth.
Before replacing the blade guard for storage, spread one or two drops of Oster® Premium Lubricating Oil over the blades to prevent rusting.

Adjustable Clippers
Not all clippers have an adjustable blade. If you have a deluxe adjustable clipper, the following instructions apply to your clipper. The adjustable clippers have a blade that enables you to cut hair at various lengths. To adjust: Move the thumb blade adjustment lever down for coarse (B) cutting and up for fine (A) cutting.

After continued use, the top and bottom blades may wear out. Replacement blades are available through your nearest Authorized Service Station. To remove the blades, unplug the clipper from the electric outlet. Lay the unit upside down on a flat, dry surface. Remove the two screws located at the bottom of the blade. To replace blades, put the new top blade into position on the clipper head. Make sure the adjustment lever is pushed downward. Line up the new bottom blade so that the screw holes in the bottom blade are directly over the two center screw holes in the mounting plate. Replace the screws. Before tightening the screws adjust the position of the blades so that the top blade is 1/32” back from and is parallel to the front edge of the bottom blade. The blades should also be even on each side. Tighten screws firmly.

Removing or Replacing Blades
TO REMOVE:
IMPORTANT! STOP MOTOR; lift blade away from clipper and slide off the tongue.
TO REPLACE:
Turn motor on; insert blade on tongue fully then snap blade into place.

Blade Sharpening
Oster® cutting blades are of the individual hollow-ground design, hardened to extend cutting life. As with any cutting instrument, the cutting edges will become dull with usage. Increasing blade tension to force dull blades to cut can cause the clipper to heat and reduce motor life, and further shorten blade life. When the cutting blades no longer cut
smooth and clean, sharpening is necessary.
When sharpening blades becomes necessary, send blades to an Authorized Service Center where approved methods, equipment and proper knowledge are used to restore the original hollow-ground design and best cutting ability. Sharpening blades by flat grinding or any method contrary to the design and construction of Oster ® cutting blades is not recommended.
Lubricating the Blades
A light film of oil should be maintained on the surface of the cutting blades. Oiling the blades frequently while in use will help keep the blades cleaner. Clean blades cut better.
To clean blades, dip the teeth into Oster ® Blade Wash ® cleaner with the clipper running. DO NOT IMMERSE THE CLIPPER. Remove from the mixture and, while holding the clipper with the blade end down, wipe the blades dry with a clean, dry cloth. Re-oil blades.
Maintenance and Storage
NOTE: Any other maintenance not explained in this manual should be performed by an Authorized Service Center. To store unit, coil and secure cord and place in the original carton.
Using The Attachments:
Plastic combs for attachment to clippers and trimmer blades are included with some kits. This plastic comb serves as a clipping guide so that the hair is not clipped short. The comb attachment is grooved to fit snugly over the blades. When attaching the comb to the clipper, slide the comb down firmly as far as it will go. Make sure the comb is seated securely against the lower blade. To disengage the comb, pull and slide the comb upward until it is off the clipper. Replacement combs are not covered under warranty.

When using or cleaning this clipper, do not use any aerosol sprays or blade washes, especially those containing methylene chloride, dimethyl benzyl ammonium chloride, or 1-1-1 trichloroethylene. Damage caused by these chemicals will void your warranty. You may use Oster ® Blade Wash ®, Oster ® Blade Lube ™, and Oster ® 5 in 1 ™ Clipper Blade Care which does not harm the product.
