5.1 General Hair Cutting Tips
- Always start with clean, dry hair.
- For best results, cut hair against the direction of hair growth.
- Use the barber comb to lift hair away from the scalp before cutting.
- Take small, even strokes for a consistent cut.
- Regularly check the hair length as you cut.
5.2 Using the Adjustable Blade
The Andis inCRED clipper features an adjustable blade lever, allowing you to fine-tune cutting lengths without changing guide combs. Move the lever up for a shorter cut and down for a longer cut. This is ideal for blending and creating fades.

The clipper operates cordlessly for up to 90 minutes on a full charge. For extended use or if the battery is low, you can plug the clipper directly into a power outlet and continue using it in corded mode.

6.1 Cleaning the Blades
After each use, it is crucial to clean the blades to ensure optimal performance and longevity:

- For a more thorough cleaning, you may carefully detach the blade set (refer to the manufacturer's specific instructions for blade removal if available).
6.2 Oiling the Blades
To maintain cutting efficiency and prevent rust, oil the blades regularly:
- Apply a few drops of clipper oil (included in the kit) to the teeth and friction points 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 clean, dry cloth.
