Andis Company Model BGR BGRC - Manual (Page 8)

REPLACING OR CHANGING BLADE SET
To replace or change your blade set, slide the blade bracket onto the
hinge of the clipper (Diagram N) 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 (Diagram O). 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 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. 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 (See Diagram P for position of blade). 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 (Diagram N). 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.
