REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES
WARNING: Clipper must be unplugged before removing carbon brush caps or
performing any maintenance, as electrical shock may occur. The carbon brushes
of your clipper should be checked every three to six months. Carbon brush
replacement should be performed when the carbon brushes reach no less than
1/16" in length. To replace the carbon brushes, unscrew brush caps with a standard
screwdriver. Do one side at a time.
CAUTION: The carbon brushes are spring loaded. Take precaution when unscrewing
the brush caps from the unit. The brush spring should be in plain view upon
removing the cap. Pull out the spring and brush from its canal, then remove old
carbon brush. Tip the clipper to one side so the carbon brush slides out. Be sure to
note the way the brush is inserted so that if it does not need replacing, it may be
re-inserted in exactly the same position. When placing a new carbon brush into the
carbon brush canal, make sure to align the curvature on the end of the carbon brush
with the curve of the commutator seen at the bottom of the canal (Figure K). When
aligned properly, the two beveled edges of the carbon brush will be located in the
upper right and lower left corners. Be sure to insert the beveled end of the carbon
brush into the canal first. Failure to perform this procedure correctly may cause the
carbon brushes to not seat themselves properly against the commutator. Replace the
carbon brush spring into the brush cavity after the carbon brush has been installed,
then replace carbon brush cap with a standard size screwdriver. Turn clockwise only
until you feel the brush cap stop. If the brush cap is tightened too tightly, it will force
the brush spring past the carbon brush and will cause damage to the commutator.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED CLIPPER
In a double-insulated clipper, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated clipper, nor
should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated clipper
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
an Andis Authorized Service Station. Replacement parts must be identical to
those parts being replaced. A double-insulated clipper is marked by the words
"double insulation" or "double insulated". The symbol
may also be marked
on the appliance.
