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 A & B). 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 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.

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.
POWER ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis clipper has been adjusted to line voltage at the factory. However, because of voltage variations, it may be necessary to adjust the power setting for your area. If the power adjustment is off, you will usually notice a “clatter” when the clipper is on or introduced into the hair. (It is normal for your clipper to “clatter” for an instant when initially turned on).
TO ADJUST YOUR CLIPPER
1.Oil the blades.
2.The power screw is located in the lower part of the housing opposite the switch (Figure D).
3.Turn your clipper ON.
4.Using a screwdriver that fits the slot, turn the power screw clockwise until the clipper clatters continuously. Then turn the screw counterclockwise carefully until the clatter ceases.
5.Your clipper is now adjusted to its optimum power setting.
The power screw is a special part and it must not be replaced by any other screw except the original part of the appliance.
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. The clipper should be held in the position shown in Figure D to prevent oil from getting into motor. 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 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, 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.
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
trimmer 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. To find an Andis Authorized Service Station near you log on to www.andis.com or contact our customer service department: 1-800-558-9441 (U.S.) or 1-800-335-4093 (Canada).
