Maintenance

Regular cleaning and maintenance will prolong the life and performance of your Timco HC80N clipper.

1. Cleaning Blades After Each Use:
   • Turn off the clipper and disconnect it from power if operating corded.
   • Remove any attached guide comb.
   • Use the cleaning brush to remove loose hair from the blades and the clipper head.
   • For thorough cleaning, you may carefully detach the blades (refer to specific instructions if provided with the product for blade removal, otherwise, clean while attached).
2. Oiling Blades:
   • After cleaning and before each use (or regularly, depending on frequency of use), apply 2-3 drops of the lubricating oil to the top and sides of the blades.
   • Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly.
   • Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.
   • Note: Only use the oil provided or a high-quality clipper oil. Do not use hair oil, grease, or kerosene-based products as they can damage the blades.
3. Storage: Store the clipper in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Use the blade protector when storing to prevent damage to the blades.
