The green light on the clipper will turn ON when the clipper is charging. When clipper is fully charged, the green light will turn OFF.
The clipper has not been charged at the factory. Please charge the clipper for 3-5 hours before FIRST use for maximum performance. When battery is fully charged, clipper can be used for up to 90 minutes of continuous run time. After first use, clipper will fully charge in a minimum of 2 hours.
FAILURE TO CHARGE
1.Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm with an appliance you know is working).
2.Make sure ON/OFF switch on the clipper is OFF.
3.Check to make sure adapter cord is plugged firmly into clipper.
4.If failure to charge still exists, return clipper to Andis or an Andis Authorized Service Station for examination and repair or replacement.
CORDED OPERATION
If the clipper powers OFF in the middle of a clipping job, the adapter cord can be attached to continue use in corded operation. When the clipper is running with the adapter cord attached, the green light will remain ON even if the battery is not fully charged. The clipper will not charge while in use with the cord attached.

USING THE ATTACHMENT COMBS
(Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit)
You can set the blades for a longer cut by using any of the attachment combs made for your Andis clipper. The combs mount easily; simply slip the cutter blade teeth into comb and snap the comb down. To remove, simply snap off (Figures B & C). These attachment combs guide hair into the blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the attachment comb. Use the chart 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 is needed is a flick of the adjustment lever with your thumb. In the upright position, the blades are set for the finest, or shortest cuts (Figure D).
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 Service Station.
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
The blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper blades leave streaks or slow down, it’s a sure sign the blades need oil. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Figure E). Wipe excess oil off the blades with a soft, dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper 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 an old toothbrush. To clean the blades we suggest immersing the blades only into a shallow pan of Andis Blade Care Plus 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, dry the blades with a dry cloth, and start clipping again.
REMOVING AND REPLACING THE 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 blades.
Remove the blades.
To replace the blades, put the smaller, upper blade back into position (Figure F). Line up the screw holes in the bottom blade with the two holes in the clipper housing, and replace the screws. Do not tighten down the screws completely. Turn the clipper over and align the lower blade so the teeth on both blades are parallel, but with the lower blade’s teeth slightly above the upper blade’s teeth. Failure to do this may result in nipping the skin when cutting the hair.
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1.The lithium-ion battery included with your clipper does not develop a “memory effect” like a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You can plug the adapter cord into the clipper at any time for a full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is complete. Like most rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when used frequently.
2.For maximum battery life, store the clipper in a partially discharged condition if the unit will be unused for several months.
3.Do not store clipper under 50°F or over 104°F. Do not expose clipper to excessively damp conditions.
4.Avoid locating the clipper near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Optimum charging will result where the temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery receiving less than a full charge.
5.Many factors influence lithium-ion battery life. A battery that has received heavy use or is more than a year old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
6.New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a full charge. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the battery or charger. The battery will accept a full charge after several cycles of clipper use and recharging.
7.Disconnect the adapter cord from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are anticipated.
BATTERY DISPOSAL
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 for details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
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 Service Station. 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 Andis Authorized Service Station.
