Setup

Before first use, ensure your clipper is clean and free of debris. To attach the Oster Professional Clipper Blade:

1. Ensure the clipper is turned off and unplugged for safety.
2. Align the blade's hinge with the clipper's hinge mechanism.
3. Gently push the blade down until it clicks securely into place. Do not force the blade.
4. Verify the blade is firmly attached and does not wobble before turning on the clipper.

Operating Instructions

Once the blade is securely attached to your compatible Oster clipper, you can begin operation. Ensure the hair is clean and dry for best results. Hold the clipper firmly and guide the blade smoothly through the hair, moving against the direction of hair growth for an even cut. The 1.5 (4mm) blade is suitable for various cutting techniques, including blending and bulk removal, depending on the desired style.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance is crucial for extending the life and performance of your Oster clipper blades. Follow these steps after each use:

1. Remove Hair: Use a small brush to thoroughly remove all hair clippings from between the blade teeth and from the blade's underside.
2. Apply Blade Lube/Oil: With the clipper running, apply 2-3 drops of clipper oil (not included) across the top of the blade teeth and 1 drop on each side of the blade. Allow the clipper to run for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This lubricates the blades and prevents rust.
3. Disinfect (Optional but Recommended): For professional use, immerse the blade in a blade disinfectant solution (not included) as per the disinfectant's instructions. Ensure the blade is completely dry before storing.
4. Storage: Store blades in a clean, dry place, preferably in a blade case, to protect them from damage and contamination.

Regular cleaning and oiling will ensure your blades remain sharp and perform optimally.

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues with your Oster Professional Clipper Blades, consider the following common solutions:

• Blade Pulling Hair: This is often caused by dull blades or insufficient lubrication. Ensure blades are regularly oiled as per the maintenance section. If the issue persists, the blade may need sharpening or replacement.
• Blade Overheating: Excessive friction due to lack of lubrication can cause blades to overheat. Apply more clipper oil. If the problem continues, allow the clipper to cool down before resuming use.
• Uneven Cutting: Check if the blade is properly aligned and securely attached to the clipper. Ensure there are no hair clogs preventing smooth operation.
• Excessive Noise/Vibration: This could indicate a loose blade or a need for lubrication. Re-attach the blade firmly and apply oil.
