Model AGR-C with Cord Pack Use:
Models AGR-C/AGR+ will run on average of 4,500 spm with the cord pack attached.
Models AGR-C/AGR+ can be used with either the cord pack or the battery pack.
- Remove the Transformer Wall Plug and Clipper from the carton.
- With the Clipper in the "OFF" position, insert the Adapter Plug into the bottom of the Clipper. Note that the Adapter Plug is fitted with a tongue to align properly with the groove in the Clipper. Once the Adapter Plug and Clipper are aligned, press firmly together. You may hear a "click" as the Adapter Plug contacts are engaged.
- Plug the Transformer Wall Plug into the AC outlet.
- The Clipper is now ready to be used.
Model AGR-C+ with Battery Use:
Models AGR-C/AGR+ will run on average of 3,800 spm with the battery pack attached.
Models AGR-C/AGR+ can be used with either the cord pack or the battery pack.
- Remove the Charger from the carton and plug into an AC outlet.
- Place the Andis Model AGR+ Cordless Clipper in the form-fitting pocket in the Charger base. Note that the Battery Pack is fitted with a slot to align properly with the Charger. Once the Battery and Charger are aligned, press the Battery Pack firmly into the Charger until it rests at the bottom of the pocket. You may hear a "click" as the charging contacts engage. The Battery may be charged while on the Clipper or separately. Push the "battery release button" on the Clipper and pull straight out to remove the Battery. NOTE: The Battery Pack is designed to run the Clipper for about one hour. A clean, sharp, well-oiled blade will provide the best run time. A busy animal shop may want an additional Battery Pack so one Pack is charging while the other is running the Clipper.
- Before initial use, Battery Pack must be charged for a minimum of one hour.
- The Charger base has two indicator lights. The following is a description of the Sensacharge light sequences:
Continuous Green Light (Fast Charge) - Charger will fully charge Battery Pack in less than one hour.
Rapid Green Blinking Light (Charging Complete) - Battery Pack is fully charged.
Long Green Blinking Light (Refresh) - Charger is draining Battery Pack in preparation for fast charge.
Short Green Blinking Light
a) With Continuous Red Light (Charge Standby) - Battery Pack is trickle charging because it is either too hot or too cold to accept a fast charge. Fast charging will occur once Battery Pack temperature moderates.
b) Without Continuous Red Light (Charge Preparation) - Battery Pack is undergoing trickle charge because it has been drained excessively during use.
- The Clipper can be left in the Charger base for an indefinite period of time. The Charger will supply only what is needed and will not damage the Battery due to overcharge.
Safety Rules for Charger and Battery Pack:
- Clipper motor switch must be in the "OFF" position for the Charger to operate properly. DO NOT return the Clipper onto the Charger base with the motor switch in the "ON" position. If the Clipper is accidentally put on the Charger base in the "ON" position, remove it promptly. Turn Clipper "OFF" and return to the Charger base.
- Do NOT insert anything metallic into the Battery pocket of the Charger base.
- Do NOT allow the ventilation slots on the Charger base to become blocked or filled with foreign material. Avoid subjecting the Charger to excessively dirty locations. If the slots become clogged with dust or hair, unplug the Charger and gently remove the hair with a soft brush or vacuum cleaner.
- Do NOT attempt to charge any other Battery other than the Battery Pack designed for your Andis AGR+ Clipper.
- The Battery Pack contains an overload protection feature. Do NOT attempt to use Andis Battery Pack to power any other product other than the Andis Cordless Clipper. Do NOT touch the exposed metal contacts on the Battery Pack with any conductive material.
- Do NOT store Battery or Charger where it is under 50°F or over 104°F, as damage may occur.
- Do NOT expose the Charger base or the Battery Pack to excessively damp conditions.
- Avoid dropping the Charger base and the Battery Pack. Do NOT attempt to use a damaged Battery Pack or Charger.
- Clean external parts of Charger with a soft brush or damp rag. Do NOT use harsh abrasives, detergents, or solvents.
Use of the Refresh Feature:
The Refresh feature works overnight by first discharging the Battery Pack and then quickly charging it. A trickle charge maintains the Battery at 100% for use the next day. This allows a Battery Pack that has developed a "memory" to perform like new.
- The Charger base needs to be plugged in for the Refresh feature to work.
- With the AGR+ Clipper or the AGR+ Battery Pack in the Charger base, press the Refresh button once. The green light will blink while the Battery is discharging.
- The green light will stop blinking and remain continuous when the Battery Pack is charging once again.
- If the Refresh button has been accidentally pressed, there are two ways to stop the Battery Pack from being discharged. Removing the Clipper from the Charger, then returning it will cancel the Refresh operation and resume fast charge. You may also unplug the Charger base for several seconds to reset the Charger.
- NOTE: The Refresh cycle takes approximately 8 hours to produce a fully charged Battery Pack. The Charger must make accurate Battery voltage measurements during this time.
A Battery Pack that receives monthly Refresh cycles will last much longer than one that does not. Andis suggests that the Refresh feature be used once per month at the end of the business day. Using the Refresh feature will ensure your work will not be interrupted while "Refresh" operates.
Operating Instructions:
Please read the following operating 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 reliable service.
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 flushed with the Clipper, use a small standard screwdriver to pry the tongue of the hinge out.
NOTE: Hair may accumulate in the front of the 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 old toothbrush while the Blade is off the Clipper.
Replacing or Changing Blade Set
To replace or change the 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 factory has permanently lubricated the internal mechanism of your motor Clipper.
Other than the User Maintenance mentioned below, Andis Company or an Andis Authorized Repair Service Station should perform all other maintenance.
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 excellent Clipper Blade coolants. 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 immersing ONLY the Blades 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 Blades. 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 and then place a drop of Clipper oil where the upper and lower Blades meet and also in the guide slot of the tension spring. 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 Blade currently being used may be dull), it could be that your drive assembly needs replacement.
To Change Blade Assembly:
- Remove Blade Set.
- Remove Drive Cap.
- Remove Blade Drive mounting screws.
- Note: Before removing the Blade Drive Assembly, note the way it is positioned (this will help you in reassembly). Remove Blade Drive Assembly.
- Drive bearing should be at its lowest position, if not, move it with your fingers to the lowest position.
- Put on a new Blade Drive Assembly, align screw holes and press down.
- Reassemble Blade Drive by replacing mounting screws, turning just until snug. DO NOT over tighten.
- Replace Drive Cap.
- Replace Blade.
Caution: Never handle your Andis Clipper while operating a water faucet. Never hold your Clipper under a water faucet or in water. There is danger of electrical shock and damage to your Clipper.
