SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED CLIPPER

In a double-insulated clipper, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated clipper, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated clipper requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by an Andis Authorized Service Station. Replacement parts must be identical to those parts being replaced. A double-insulated clipper is marked by the words “DOUBLE INSULATION” or “DOU- BLE INSULATED”. The symbol may also be marked on the appliance.

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. Plug cord into electrical outlet, operate 120 volt, 60 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on unit. To start clipper move switch button to the # 1 position. To stop, move switch button back to original position.

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 A) 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).

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 the 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

The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated by 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.

This Product intended for Professional Use

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.

HINGE KITS

CAUTION: 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.
