Operating Instructions
The Andis 04710 T-Outliner is designed for precise grooming tasks. Its high-torque rotary motor ensures consistent performance for dry and wet hair.
- Turning On/Off: Locate the power switch on the side of the trimmer. Slide the switch to the 'ON' position to activate the trimmer and to the 'OFF' position to turn it off.
- Hairline Trimming: For crisp, clean lines and sharp edges, hold the T-blade flat against the skin and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth. The zero-overlap blades provide a super-close shave without causing razor bumps or irritation.
- Beard and Mustache Trimming: Use the trimmer to shape and maintain beards and mustaches. For best results, trim against the grain of the hair.
- Dry Shaving: The bump-free technology with diamond-finished T-blades allows for dry trimming, providing a close shave without the need for shaving cream.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Andis T-Outliner.
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, brush off any loose hair from the blades. You can also unscrew the blade assembly to thoroughly clean underneath with a brush or alcohol.
- Lubrication: Apply a few drops of clipper oil to the blades before and after each use. This reduces friction, keeps the blades sharp, and prevents pulling or snagging of hair.
- Blade Remounting: If you remove the blade for cleaning, fit the mounting hook into the blade mounting on the trimmer and push in until you hear a click.

Troubleshooting
- Trimmer not turning on: Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet. Check the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
- Blades pulling hair: This often indicates dull blades or insufficient lubrication. Clean and oil the blades. If the problem persists, consider replacing the blades.
- Excessive noise or vibration: Ensure the blade assembly is correctly mounted and tightened. Lubricate the blades. If the issue continues, contact customer support.
