• Keep replacement blades out of reach of children.
• Do not use a damaged or bent blade.

Blade Installation

Follow these steps to safely replace the blade on your ion MAX 5-Speed Cordless Clipper (IO2901):

1. Power Off: Ensure the ion MAX Clipper is turned off and disconnected from any power source.
2. Remove Old Blade:
   • Locate the two screws on the back of the blade assembly.
   • Using a screwdriver (if required by your clipper model), carefully loosen and remove these screws.
   • Gently detach the old blade assembly from the clipper body.
3. Prepare New Blade: Unpack the new ion MAX Clipper Replacement Blade (IO2903). Inspect it for any damage.
4. Attach New Blade:
   • Align the new blade assembly with the clipper body, ensuring the moving blade is correctly seated within the stationary blade.

Operating Instructions

Once the replacement blade is installed, operate your ion MAX 5-Speed Cordless Clipper as usual. The new blade offers the following features:

• Blade Adjustment: The blade can be adjusted from 1mm to 1.9mm. Use the clipper's taper lever or adjustment mechanism to set the desired cutting length.
• Zero Gapping: For extremely close cuts, the blade may be "zero gapped." Refer to your ion MAX Clipper's original manual for specific instructions on how to perform zero gapping, as this process requires precision and care to avoid skin irritation.
• Cutting Performance: The sharp titanium ceramic blade is designed to leave hair approximately 1/25" (1mm) at its shortest setting (without zero gapping).

Maintenance

Proper maintenance extends the life and performance of your replacement blade.

• Cleaning: After each use, brush away loose hair from the blade using the cleaning brush provided with your clipper. For a more thorough cleaning, you may carefully remove the blade and rinse it under running water, ensuring it is completely dry before reattaching.
• Oiling: Apply a few drops of clipper oil (not included with the blade, typically supplied with the clipper) to the teeth of the blade after each cleaning or before each use. This lubricates the blades, reduces friction, and prevents rust.
• Storage: Store the clipper with the blade attached in a clean, dry place, protected from dust and moisture.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your new replacement blade, consider the following:

• Blade Not Cutting Effectively:
  • Ensure the blade is clean and free of hair or debris.
  • Apply clipper oil to the blade.
  • Check if the blade is properly aligned and securely tightened.
  • Verify the clipper's power source and motor functionality.
• Blade Pulling Hair:
  • This often indicates a dull blade or improper oiling. Ensure the blade is clean and oiled.
  • Confirm the blade is correctly installed and not loose.
• Unusual Noise or Vibration:
  • Check for any loose screws on the blade assembly.
  • Ensure no foreign objects are lodged between the blades.
  • If the issue persists, the blade might be damaged or incorrectly installed.

If troubleshooting steps do not resolve the issue, contact ion customer support or consult a qualified technician.
