If you are not familiar with this procedure, please return trimmer to your supplier or an Andis Authorized Service Station for blade replacement and adjustment.
To remove blade set from your trimmer, unplug your trimmer from the electrical outlet. Turn the trimmer upside down so the teeth of blades are facing down. You may wish to set the trimmer on a flat surface while performing these operations. Unscrew the two blade screws (Figure F). Remove blade set from trimmer. To install your new trimmer blade set, align hole in upper blade (smaller of the two blades) and center over nylon roller (ball) of the trimmer’s tension spring (Figure G). Align screw holes of lower blade (larger of the two blades) to armature screw holes. While holding blade in place, replace blade screws; do not tighten down completely. Turn trimmer over and align the blade set parallel to the trimmer’s upper housing.
IMPORTANT: Check blade alignment, making sure the teeth of the upper blade rest slightly below the upper edge of teeth on lower blade (Figure H). Failure to check the position of blade may cause cutting or scratching of your client’s skin when trimming. Tighten down blade screws firmly. If after turning on the trimmer you notice the hair guard is hitting the upper blade (Figure I) loosen hair guard screws slightly and adjust hair guard away from the upper blade approximately 1/32". Tighten down hair guard screws.
