Please read the following instructions before using your new Andis clipper. Give it the care a fine, precision-built instrument deserves and it will give you years of service. Before starting your clipper, remove the blade guard (some models may not have a blade guard). Plug the cord into an electrical outlet, operate at the rated current, and cycle as noted on the unit. To start the clipper move the switch button to the “1” position; to stop, move the switch button back to the original position. After using your Andis clipper, rewrap the cord, and store it in a safe place.
USING ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have attachment combs)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs
made for your Andis clipper. The attachment combs are easy to use–they snap on
and off. To attach a comb, slip the attachment onto the top edge of the blade
and snap it down onto the bottom edge of the blade (Figures A & B). The
attachment combs help guide the hair to the blades and give you precise
control of hair lengths. The length of the trim is indicated on each
attachment comb. Use the chart below 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.
CLIPPING GUIDE
USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be done by children without
supervision. The internal mechanism of your clipper 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 Service Station. If the supply cord is damaged it must
be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or similarly qualified
persons to avoid a hazard.
REMOVING THE BLADE SET
To remove the blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched off,
then push down on the blade with both thumbs (Figure C) and slide the blade
off the blade hinge. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is ush 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
(see Figure D for the location of the e cavity being referenced).
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 running, push the blade toward
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 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. 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 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 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 dry the blades with a dry cloth, and start clipping again.
If, upon cleaning your blades, you find the blades will still not cut, there may be a few fine pieces of hair trapped between the upper and lower blades. 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 (Figure H). 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 cleaning procedure, slide the upper blade, centering it over the lower blade. Hang or store your Andis clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
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 an Andis Authorized Service Station.
