Blade Sharpening - Sunbeam 078505 Instruction Manual

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
DO NOT USE THIS CLIPPER UNTIL YOU HAVE READ THESE OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
OPERATE ON VOLTAGE SPECIFIED ON CLIPPER:
Not all clippers have an adjustable blade. If you have a deluxe adjustable
clipper, the following instructions apply to your clipper. The adjustable clippers
have a blade that enables you to cut hair at various lengths.
Some models of clippers have an
adjustable blade. To adjust:
Move thumb blade adjustment lever
down for coarse (B) cutting and up
for fine (A) cutting.
OPERATING THE CLIPPER:
1. Remove the blade guard from the
unit which is covering the teeth of
the blades.
2. Disperse a few drops of
lubricating oil across the blades.
Wipe off excess with a clean, dry cloth.
3. Attach the guide comb associated with the desired coat length. Use of a
guide comb aids in the prevention of accidental nicking of the skin. Always
hold the clipper with the blade running parallel to the skin. Never cut into
loose skin.
4. Clean clippings from the blades using the cleaning brush or an old
toothbrush. Wipe the housing with a clean, dry cloth.
5. Before replacing the blade guard for storage, spread one or two drops of
lubricating oil, over the blades to prevent rusting.

BLADE SHARPENING:

As with any cutting instrument, the cutting edges of the blade will become dull
with usage. Increasing blade tension to force dull blades to cut can cause the
clipper to heat and reduce motor life, and further shorten blade life. When the
cutting blades no longer cut smooth and clean, sharpening is necessary.
LUBRICATING THE BLADES
A light film of oil should be maintained on the surface of the cutting blades.
Oiling the blades frequently while in use will help keep the blades cleaner.
Clean blades cut better. To clean blades, dip the teeth into cleaner with the
clipper running. DO NOT IMMERSE THE CLIPPER. Remove from the mixture
and, while holding the clipper with the blade end down, wipe the blades dry
with a clean, dry cloth. Re-oil blades.
