(Some models do not have attachment combs)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made for your Andis clipper. The attachment combs are easy to use–they snap on and off. To attach a comb, slip the attachment onto top edge of blade and snap down onto bottom edge of blade (Figures A & B). The attachment combs help guide the hair to the blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on each attachment comb.
Use the chart below to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in relation to the skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
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.
If the supply cord is damaged it must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified persons in order to avoid a hazard.
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched off, then push down on blade with both thumbs (Figure C) and slide blade off blade hinge. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screw driver to pry the tongue of the hinge out (Figure D).
NOTE: Hair may accumulate in the front cavity of the housing under the blade. If this hap pens, you can clean out the hair by brushing out the cavity with a small brush or an old toothbrush while the blade is off the clipper (see Figure D for location of cavity being referenced).
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper (Figure E) and with the clipper running, push the blade towards the clipper to lock into position.
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.
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. The clipper should be held in the position shown in Figure F to prevent oil from getting into the motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure G). 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 dry cloth and start clipping again.
If, upon cleaning your blades, you find 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 (Figure H). 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. Now slide the upper blade to the opposite side of the lower blade and repeat this process. After completing this cleaning procedure, slide the upper blade, centering it over the lower blade. Hang or store your Andis clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
When the blades of your Andis clipper become dull after repeated use, it is advised to purchase a new set of blades available through your Andis supplier or through an Andis Authorized Service Station.
