REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper (Figure J),
and with the clipper turned "ON", push the blade towards 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 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
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 L 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 M). Wipe excess oil off 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 to
immerse 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 and dry blades with a dry cloth and start clipping again.
If upon cleaning your blades you find that the blades will still not cut, there may be a few fine
pieces of hair trapped between the upper and lower blade. 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 (see
Figure N for position of blade). 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 (Figure N). Now slide the upper blade to the opposite side of the lower blade
and repeat this process. After completing this procedure, slide the upper blade, centering it over
the lower blade. Handle or store your Andis clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run
into the clipper case.
CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade, since the blade
currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive assembly needs replacement.
TO CHANGE THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY:
1. Remove blade set (Figure J).
2. Remove drive cap by grabbing on both sides at top and sliding off (Figure O).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure P).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in
reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Figure Q).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position (see Figure R for correct position of drive bearing),
if not, move it with your finger to lowest position (see Figure S for incorrect position of drive
bearing).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Figure Q).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Figure P).
8. Replace drive cap by sliding back on clipper into position (Figure O).
9. Replace blade (Figure J).
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 return the clipper to the
charger 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. To discharge the battery, run the clipper just until the yellow light
turns ON.
3. 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.

4. 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.
5. 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 charger. The battery will accept a
full charge after several cycles of clipper use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the clipper from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are
anticipated.
SAFETY RULES FOR CHARGER AND BATTERY PACK
1. Do not insert metallic objects into the battery pocket of the charger base.
2. Do not expose the charger to excessively dirty locations. If the charger pocket becomes clogged
with dust or hair, unplug the charger and gently remove hair or other debris with a soft brush or
vacuum cleaner.
3. To clean external parts of the charger, use a soft brush or damp cloth. Do not use harsh
abrasives, detergents, or solvents.
4. Do not use the charger designed for this Andis DBLC clipper to attempt to charge any other
battery.
5. The battery contains an overload protection feature. In extreme cases, overload protection may
cause the battery to become inoperable. Do not attempt to power any product other than the
Andis DBLC clipper with this lithium-ion battery.
6. For maximum battery life, do not store clipper or charger under 50°F or over 104°F.
7. Do not expose the charger or clipper to excessively damp conditions.
8. Take care not to drop the charger or the clipper. Do not attempt to use a damaged charger.
CARE AND SERVICING OF THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Your clipper, battery and charger are an integrated electrical system. Good electrical contact must
be maintained for the motor to deliver full power and lithium-ion battery to charge properly.
Limited or erratic performance caused by dirt or age can be corrected in the majority of cases.
PROPER BATTERY DISPOSAL
The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. At the
end of its useful life, under various state and local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your area
for recycling options or proper disposal.
