Oiling the Blades

  1. After cleaning, apply a few drops of the included blade oil to the teeth of the blades.
  2. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly.
  3. Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth. Regular oiling ensures optimal cutting performance and blade longevity.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your VGR 285 Hair Clipper, please review the following general advice:

  • Clipper not turning on: Ensure the battery is charged. Connect the clipper to the USB charging cable and allow it to charge for at least 30 minutes before attempting to power it on again.
  • Poor cutting performance: Clean the blades thoroughly and apply blade oil. Ensure no hair is trapped between the blades. Check if the blades are dull and consider professional sharpening or replacement if necessary.
  • Clipper running hot: This can occur during extended use. Allow the clipper to cool down before continuing. Ensure blades are clean and oiled to reduce friction.
