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. Place a few drops of oil on the front and side of the
cutter blades (Diagram L). 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 Clipper Oil, 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 clean 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 Diagram M 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 (Diagram J). 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.
CAUTION: Never handle your Andis Clipper while you are operating a water faucet and never hold
your clipper under a water faucet or in water. There is danger of electrical shock and damage to your
clipper. ANDIS COMPANY will not be responsible in case of injury due to this carelessness.
