Andis BGRC 560249 Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Before starting clipper, remove blade guard (some models may not have a blade guard). Plug cord into electrical outlet, operate at 120 volt, 60 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. To start clipper, move switch button to ON position. To stop clipper, move switch button back.

REMOVING BLADE SET

To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched "OFF", then push down on blade with one or both thumbs (Diagram B) and slide blade off blade hinge. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of the hinge out (Diagram B).
REMOVING BLADE SET

warning NOTE: Hair may accumulate in the front cavity of the housing under the blade. If this happens, you can clean out the hair by brushing out the cavity with a small brush or an old toothbrush while then blade is off the clipper (See Diagram C for location of cavity being referenced).

REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET

To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper (Diagram D) and with the clipper turned "ON", push the blade towards the clipper to lock into position.

USER MAINTENANCE

If clipper is not going to be used for a long period of time, store in a safe, cool, dry place. Do not wrap at cord tightly around mat. Do not hang the mat by the mat cord.

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.

To contact Andis directly, please call our Customer Support Team at 1-800-558-9441 or email us at support@andisco.com.

BLADE TEMPERATURE

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.

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 E).

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 F 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 F).

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.

CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY

If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade, since blade currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive assembly needs replacement.

To change the blade drive assembly:

Remove blade set (Diagram G).
Remove drive cap (Diagram H).
Remove blade drive mounting screws (Diagram I).
NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Diagram J).
Drive bearing should be at its lowest position, if not, move it with your finger to lowest position (Diagrams K & L).
Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Diagram J).
Reassemble blade drive by replacing mounting screws, turning just until snug (Diagram I). Do not overtighten.
Replace drive cap (Diagram H).
Replace blade (Diagram M).

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.
