If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its
service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
POWER ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis clipper has been adjusted to line voltage at the factory. However,
because of voltage variations, it may be necessary to adjust the power setting for
your area. If the power adjustment is off, you will usually notice a "clatter" when
the clipper is on or introduced into the hair. (It is normal for your clipper to
"clatter" for an instant when initially turned on).
TO ADJUST YOUR CLIPPER
1. Oil the blades.
2. The power screw is located in the lower part of the housing opposite the
switch (Figure D).
3. Turn your clipper ON.
4. Using a screwdriver that fits the slot, turn the power screw clockwise until the
clipper clatters continuously. Then turn the screw counterclockwise carefully
until the clatter ceases.
5. Your clipper is now adjusted to its optimum power setting.
The power screw is a special part and it must not be replaced by any other screw
except the original part of the appliance.
BLADE TEMPERATURE
Due to the high speed nature of Andis clippers, please check for blade heat
often, especially on close cutting blades. If 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
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. The
clipper should be held in the position shown in Figure E to prevent oil from
getting into motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side
of the cutter blades (Figure E). 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 soft, 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 F).
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.
BLADE & CLIPPER/TRIMMER 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
through an Andis authorized service station.
