CHARGING UNIT

READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHARGING THIS
CLIPPER/TRIMMER

Remove Andis cordless clipper from carton
and plug into 120V or 230V outlet as identi­fied on the AC adapter, or on the outside of
the carton. Note that the clipper ON/OFF
switch must be in the OFF position for the
battery to charge. Plug adapter cord directly into the clipper
(see Diagram A). The light on the clipper will turn on. The

clipper is not charged at the factory. Please recharge
clipper for 12 hours (overnight) before first use for maxi­mum performance.

You can keep the clipper plugged into the adapter when not
in use. The adapter will maintain the battery at full charge
and the red light will stay on. The unit has a Nickel Metal
Hydride battery that cannot be damaged by overcharging.
However, we recommend that the adapter be unplugged if
the clipper won't be used for seven or more days.

PLEASE NOTE: Nickel Metal Hydride batteries have less
"Memory Effect" than Nickel Cadmium batteries. Memory
Effect is caused by repeated short uses of the clipper, fol­lowed by charging. The battery never fully discharges and,
therefore, "forgets" how much energy it can store. In order to
maximize the performance of your Nickel Metal Hydride bat­tery, please follow these steps:

1) Oil blade. Turn clipper on and allow it run until the
blade slows significantly. It is not necessary to let the
blade stop completely.

2) Turn clipper off. Charge overnight.

3) Conduct the above exercise every sixty days.

FAILURE TO CHARGE:

1) Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm
with an appliance you know is working).

2) Check to make sure adapter cord is plugged firmly into

clipper. Twist the adapter connector slightly to insure
good electrical conection. If failure to charge still exists,
return clipper to Andis or an Andis Authorized Service
Station listed in this manual for examination and repair or
replacement.

ATTENTION: The product you have purchased con­tains a rechargeable battery. The battery
is recyclable. At the end of its useful life,
under various state and local laws, it
may be illegal to dispose of this battery
into the municipal waste stream. Check
with your local solid waste officials (or
call 1-800-822-8837) for details in your area for recy­cling options or proper disposal.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Please read the following instructions before using your new
Andis clipper. Give it the care that a fine precision built
instrument deserves and it will give you years of service.
Before starting your clipper, make sure the battery has been
fully charged. Remove blade guard. To start clipper move
switch button to “on” position, to stop, move switch button
back to original position.

USER MAINTENANCE

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 Repair Service Station.

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. The clipper should be held in
the position shown in Diagram C 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 (Diagram B).
Wipe excess oil off blades with a
soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants con­tain insufficient oil for good lubrica­tion. 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.

FACTORY REPAIR SERVICE

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 Repair Station listed in this manual. If you wish
your clipper to be serviced as well, it should be carefully
packed and mailed either Parcel Post Insured, or U.P.S. to
any of the Service Centers listed in this manual.

REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF
BLADE SET

To remove the blades, first unplug the clip­per from the electrical outlet. Turn the clip­per upside down, so that the blade teeth
are pointing down. You may want to place
the clipper on a flat surface to do this.
Unscrew the screws on the blade
(Diagram D). Remove the blades. To
replace the blades, put the smaller upper
blade back into position (Diagram E).
Line up the screw holes in the bottom
blade with the two holes in the blade
bracket, and replace screws. Do not
tighten down screws completely. Turn
clipper over and align lower blade so
teeth on both blades are parallel, but
with lower blade’s teeth slightly above
the upper blade teeth. Failure to do this
may result in nipping the skin when cutting
the hair.

ATTACHING THE CLIPPER COMBS

The clipper comb blade attachments mount easily. Just snap
them on. Snap them off. You can always set the blades for a
coarser cut by attaching any of the snap-on blade attach­ments made for your Andis Clipper.

To use blade attachment, slip the cutter blade teeth into
blade attachment. Snap the blade attachment down; they
snap on and off easily. These attachments guide hair into the
clipper blades and give you precise control of hair lengths.
The length of trim is indicated on the blade attachment:
1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" & 1". 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.

CLIPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT

Your Andis Adjustable Clipper Blade
set is easy to adjust. From coarse to
fine cuts, all that’s needed is a flick of
the adjustment lever with your thumb.
In the upright position, blades are set
for the finest, or shortest cuts.
