CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS CLIPPER BLADES
The blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper blades leave streaks
or slow down, it's a sure sign the blades need oil. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the
front and side of the cutter blades (Figure K). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft, dry cloth.
Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper 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 an old toothbrush. To clean the blades we suggest immersing the
blades only into a shallow pan of Andis Blade Care Plus 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.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE 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 blades. Remove the blades.
To replace the blades, put the smaller, upper blade back into position (Figure L). Line up the screw
holes in the bottom blade with the two holes in the clipper housing, and replace the screws. Do
not tighten down the screws completely. Turn the clipper over and align the lower blade so the
teeth on both blades are parallel, but with the lower blade's teeth slightly above the upper blade's
teeth. Failure to do this may result in nipping the skin when cutting the hair.
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your clipper does not develop a "memory effect" like a
nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You can plug the adapter cord
into the clipper at any time for a full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is
complete. Like most rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when used
frequently.
2. For maximum battery life, store the clipper in a partially discharged condition if the unit will be
unused for several months.
3. Do not store clipper under 50°F or over 104°F. Do not expose clipper to excessively damp
conditions.
4. Avoid locating the clipper near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Optimum charging will
result where the temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery
receiving less than a full charge.
5. Many factors influence lithium-ion battery life. A battery that has received heavy use or is more
than a year old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
6. New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a full charge. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem with the battery or adapter. The battery will accept a
full charge after several cycles of clipper use and recharging.
7. Disconnect the adapter cord from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are anticipated.
