is in proper working condition) into the outlet.
Make sure the unit is not connected to a power source that
turns itself off when lights are turned off.
Make sure the clipper and charging transformer contacts are
clean and free of hair or other contaminants.
Verify that the blade assembly moves freely and is mounted
properly.
