Remove the blades and give
them a thorough clean and
replace them on the clipper
with plenty of clipper oil
or Andis spray.
If they are still not cutting,
swap to a freshly sharpened
or new blade.
The majority of hair trimmers
come with eight different sizes of guard.
The clipper guard
AKA haircut number refers
to the length of hair that is
left after the clipper has been
used, with each
number representing
one eighth of an inch of hair.
This means that the lower the
number, the shorter the hair,
and vice versa.
This can be due to corrosion,
scratches or general wear.
As a result, the cutting edges
of the cutter comb of your
blades are no longer sharp,
reducing their ability to cut.
Sharpening the blade
is required to reface the
cutting surfaces restore
these sharp edges.
Open the Clipper app or log in
to clippercard.com and select
“Report Lost or Stolen.”
That will deactivate the card,
but your balance will stay on your
account. You can use the Clipper
app to reactivate your card if your
phone turns up, or transfer
the card to a new phone.
The taper lever allows you
to change the closeness of
your cut between guide comb
lengths. Moving the leve
r up for a closer cut, and
down for a longer cut.
This is particularly useful
for fading and blending as you can
be more precise with you
r cutting lengths.
If the drive cable is broken or detached,
the trimmer head will not spin.
To inspect the drive cable,
remove the engine assembly
from the shaft and look to see
if the cable is in its proper place.
Reinstall the cable if it has slipped
from its place. If the cable is damaged
or broken, it should be replaced
altogether.
