7.2. Blade Alignment (if removed for cleaning/replacement)

Your clipper blades were carefully examined and aligned before leaving the factory. If blades have been removed for cleaning or replacement, they must be realigned:

  1. Match the upper and bottom blade teeth up, point for point.
  2. The end of the top blade teeth should be approximately 0.5-1.0mm back from the bottom blade. This is important to prevent the clipper from cutting too close or allowing the moving cutter to touch the skin.
  3. The extreme left-hand tooth of the top blade must be covering or be to the left of the first small tooth of the bottom blade.
  4. The extreme right-hand tooth of the top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.
  5. If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of oil to the blade, turn the clipper on for a few moments, then turn off and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws after the blade is aligned.

7.3. Cutter Maintenance (Oiling)

To maintain your clipper in peak condition, the blades should be oiled every few haircuts. To oil it properly, hold the unit so the blades are in a downward position. With the clipper blade running, dispense 2-3 drops of oil across the top blade.

Note: International transport regulations do not allow liquids. Lubricating oil is not included in the package. Please understand.
