2. Clean Clipper Drive Lever: Inspect the clipper's drive lever for any hair or debris. Clean if necessary.
3. Align Blade: Hold the blade with the teeth facing away from you. Align the blade's hinge with the hinge slots on the clipper.

3. Operating Instructions

The Andis UltraEdge Size 3.5 blade is designed for general hair clipping, creating tapered styles, and efficient bulk hair removal. It cuts hair to a length of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm).

• Preparation: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles before clipping.
• Oiling: Before each use, apply a few drops of clipper oil to the teeth and bearing surfaces of the blade. This reduces friction, heat, and wear, ensuring optimal performance.
• Clipping Technique: Use smooth, even strokes. For best results, always cut against the direction of hair growth.
• Blade Heat: Blades can become warm during extended use. If the blade becomes too hot, turn off the clipper, allow the blade to cool, or switch to a different blade.

4. Care and Maintenance

Proper care and maintenance will extend the life and performance of your Andis UltraEdge blade.

1. Cleaning After Each Use:
   • Turn off and unplug the clipper.
   • Detach the blade from the clipper.
   • Use a small brush (often included with clippers) to remove loose hair from between the blade teeth.
   • Apply blade cleaner or disinfectant spray (specifically designed for clipper blades) to clean and sanitize the blade. Follow product instructions.
2. Oiling: After cleaning and before each use, apply 2-3 drops of clipper oil across the teeth of the blade and 1-2 drops on the back rails where the cutter blade rides on the comb blade. Run the clipper for a few seconds to distribute the oil. Wipe off any excess oil.
3. Storage: Store the blade in a clean, dry place, preferably in a blade case or protective pouch, to prevent damage and corrosion. Keep away from water sources.
4. Sharpening: Over time, blades may become dull. For optimal performance, professional blade sharpening services are recommended when the blade no longer cuts effectively.

5. Safety Information
