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 electrical current or as noted on unit. To start clipper, move switch button by pressing down on the lock mechanism and moving to the #1 position. To stop, press down on the lock mechanism and move switch button back to original position. After using your Andis Clipper, rewrap cord, and store in a safe place.
REMOVING BLADE SET
To remove blade set, first make sure your clipper motor is switched “OFF.” Push blade release mechanism under blade hinge. While holding down the blade release mechanism, push down on blade, then gently pull the blade forward, and slide it off the blade hinge. If your blade hinge should snap closed and is flush with the clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of the hinge out. NOTE: Hair may accumulate in the front cavity of the housing under the blade. If this happens, you can clean out the hair by brushing out the cavity with a small brush or an old toothbrush while the blade is off the clipper.
REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the hinge of the clipper and with the clipper turned “ON,” push the blade towards the clipper to lock into position.
USER MAINTENANCE
The internal mechanism of your motor clipper has been permanently lubricated by the factory. Other than the recommended 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, 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. 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 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 blade with a clean dry cloth and start clipping again. If upon cleaning your blades you find that they 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 need to snap the blade off the clipper. Proceed to slide the upper blade to one side, without loosening the tension spring or moving the upper and lower blade. If this happens, you will need to snap the blade off the clipper. Proceed to slide the upper blade to one side, without loosening the tension spring or moving the upper blade completely out from under the tension spring. Wipe the surface between the blades clean with a dry cloth, then place a drop of clipper oil where the upper and lower blades meet and also in the guide slot of the tension spring. Now slide the upper blade to the opposite side of the lower blade and repeat this process. After completing this procedure, slide the upper blade, centering it over the lower blade. Handle or store your Andis Clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run into the clipper case.
CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade, since the blade currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade drive assembly needs replacement.
To change the blade drive assembly:
1. Remove blade set.
2. Remove drive cap.
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws.
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly.
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position, if not, move it with your finger to lowest position.
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down.
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws.
8. Replace drive cap.
9. Replace blade.

The above guide will help you make the correct blade selections for grooming your pet. Please use the following guidelines whenever more than one blade is recommended: For blades that refers to (&) use in combination with each other. For blades that refers to (or) you may choose the blade size based on the closeness of the cut you desire. The higher the blade number the closer the trim will be.
How much maintenance do I have to do on the clipper?
A.
There is no maintenance required for the internal mechanism of the clipper. The only maintenance required for the Andis clipper is oiling and cleaning the blade and housing cavity (opening where the blade attaches to the clipper).
The blades are very easy to change. To change the blade, press the blade release lever, lift up the blade, and slide the blade off the blade hinge. To put on the new blade, all you need to do is slide the blade on the blade hinge, turn the clipper on and snap into place.
Do I need to buy different blades or can I use the #10 blade for everything?
A.
The #10 blade is a good general cutting blade. There is a guide on our website that shows the different blades used for different breeds of dogs. Depending what kind of dog you have and what you will be using the clipper for, you may need to purchase additional blades.
The noise the Andis clipper should not scare your dog. If your dog is very skittish there is a chance the clipper may frighten him, but the clipper runs very quiet.
Pet clippers are perfect for those finishing touches around the face, leg feathers, and feet, clippers are essential for long-haired dogs, and ideal for achieving a breed standard look on schnauzers and poodles.
Whether you want to do simple touch ups between trips to the groomer or wish to learn the whole process, start to finish, the first step is to research and purchase a quality clipper or trimmer.
Please note: Return of electrical equipment to Drs. Foster & Smith for exchange or refund is limited to 60 days from the date of purchase. Beyond 60 days, please contact the manufacturer for repair or replacement as covered by the manufacturer's warranty.
