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-insu- lated 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.

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 sug- gest 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

CAUTION: Never handle your Andis Clipper while you are operating a water faucet and never hold your clip- per 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.
