REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET

NOTE: If you are familiar with replacing and adjusting Andis ML and GC clipper blades, please read the following blade replacement instructions. If you are not familiar with this procedure, please return clipper to your supplier or an Andis Authorized Service Station for blade replacement and adjustment.

Unplug clipper. Turn clipper over and place on hard, flat surface so teeth of clipper face down. Unscrew blade screws. Remove lower blade. Place thumb and forefinger on upper blade. Push upper blade with thumb to one side of clipper while your forefinger unsnaps blade from the connecting fork (Figure H). (Note: cover of clipper is shown removed in figure to show detail only. It is not necessary to remove cover when changing blades). To install new blade set, place upper blade (smaller of the set) towards the connector fork. Slant the blade slightly so one side of the upper angle (white nylon bracket on upper blade) “hooks” onto one prong of the connector fork, making sure the small indentation on connector fork “seats” itself on the inside “point” on the nylon bracket. Push upper blade slightly to opposite side of bracket on the connector fork. Place lower blade on top of the upper blade and align the screw holes of blade to blade pad (Figure I) and replace screws. Do not tighten down screws completely. Turn clipper over and align lower blade so teeth of both blades are parallel but with lower blade teeth slightly above the upper blade teeth (Figure J). Failure to do this may result in nipping the skin when cutting hair.

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. The clipper should be held in the position shown (Figure K) 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 L). 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
