SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED CLIPPER
In a
“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol 
may also be marked on the appliance.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
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 elec- trical current or as noted on unit. To start clipper, move switch button to on position; to stop, move switch button back to original position. After using your Andis Clipper, rewrap cord and store in a safe place.
REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET To remove the blades, first unplug the clipper from the electrical outlet and raise handle to upper position. 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 blade
(Diagram A). Remove the blades. To replace the blades, put the smaller upper
blade back into position (Diagram B). Be
sure the upper blade engages with black drive finger. Push upper blade so that the drive finger opening engages with the drive finger and the tension spring is in
the blade groove. Line up the screw holes in the bottom blade with the two holes in
the clipper housing, and replace screws. Do not tighten down screws completely. Turn clipper over and align lower blade so teeth on both blades are parallel, but with lower blade’s teeth slightly above the upper blade teeth. Failure to do this may result in nipping the skin when cutting the hair.
CLIPPER BLADE ADJUSTMENT
Your Andis Adjustable Clipper Blade set is easy to adjust. From coarse to fine cuts, all that’s needed is a flick of the adjustment lever 
with your thumb. In the upright position,
blades are set for the finest, or shortest cuts. 
USER MAINTENANCE
The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated at the factory. Other than the recom- mended maintenance described in this manual, no other maintenance should be performed, except by Andis Company or an Andis Authorized Repair Service Station.
CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS CLIPPER BLADES
Blades should be oiled before, dur- ing, and after use. If your clipper blades leave streaks or slow down, it’s a sure sign blades need oil. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Oil on the front and sides of the cut- ter blades (Diagram C). Wipe
excess oil off blades with a soft, dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but is 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. Hang or store your Andis Clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
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.
ATTACHING THE CLIPPER COMBS (some units may not be supplied with combs)
The clipper comb blade attachments mount easily. Just snap them on. Snap them off. Combs help guide hair to cutting blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. Each comb allows a different length of cut which is indicated on the combs: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", and 3/8", 1/2", 3/4” & 1".
