CLIPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis adjustable clipper blade set is easy to adjust. From coarse to fine cuts, all
that is needed is a flick of the adjustment lever with your thumb. In the upright
position, the blades are set for the finest, or shortest cuts (Figure C).
USER MAINTENANCE
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. To contact Andis directly, please call our Customer
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 standard 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.
