Attaching the Clipper Combs
The clipper comb blade attachments mount easily. Just snap them on and snap them off. You can always set the blades for a coarser cut by attaching any of the snap-on blade attachments made for your Andis Clipper. To use blade attachment, slip the cutter blade teeth into blade attachment. Snap the blade attachment down; they snap on and off easily. These attachments guide hair into the clipper blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indicated on the blade attachment: 1/16", 1/8", 1/4", 1/2", 3/4", and 1". Use the following chart to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in relation to the skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.

Clipping Guide

To replace blades: 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. Remove the blades. To replace the blades, put the smaller upper blade back into position. Line up the screw holes in the bottom blade in the blade bracket, 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.

Cleaning 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.

To Oil: The clipper should be held to prevent oil from getting into the motor. Place a few drops of Andis Clipper Blade Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades. Wipe excess oil off blades with a soft dry cloth. To clean the blades we suggest immersing the blades only in a shallow pan of Andis Clipper Blade 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 dry cloth - then you're ready to clip again.

Grooming Preparation

• Make sure you have a sturdy, non-slip work surface on a small utility table.
• Familiarize your dog with the clipper. Keeping the blade away from him, hold the clipper gently against his head and let him feel the vibrations. Let him sniff it if he wants to.
• Play with him, talk to him. Make it fun for both of you. TIP: If your dog still seems a little nervous or frightened, forget about grooming him today. You can try again tomorrow.

Bathing: A must before clipping. A shampoo specially formulated for dogs works best. You may want to use a cream rinse after shampooing since it reduces static electricity in the hair, which results in matting and tangles.

Drying: Towel dry first. Then, as you blow-dry your dog; brush his hair upward very lightly, so that warm air gets to his skin.

Brushing and Combing: A thorough brushing is very important. It relaxes your dog and gets out every last mat and tangle to prepare him for clipping. With the comb, part your dog's hair. Use the wire brush to get down to the skin and brush up with short, brisk strokes. Repeat parting and brushing all the way around the dog's body.
