Care and Maintenance
Regular cleaning and lubrication are essential for optimal performance and longevity of your Andis GTX-EXO Trimmer.
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, brush hair clippings from the blades. You may use a damp cloth to wipe the housing.
- Lubrication: Apply a few drops of clipper oil (included) to the blades before and after each use. This reduces friction, prevents rust, and maintains cutting efficiency.
- Storage: Store the trimmer in its charging stand or a safe, dry place when not in use.
