Grooming Prep: Make sure your pet is healthy and ready for grooming! Before any clipping or trimming is started, your pet must be bathed, dried and brushed. This will ensure both you and your pet have a happy grooming experience and you will get the best results out of your Andis clipper or trimmer.
Tip: For pets new to grooming with a clipper or trimmer, gently get them used to the noise of the tool with it turned on but not touching the pet. Once they are used to the noise, gently lay it against the pet with the blade pointing up and not cutting anything; you can also slowly rub it against their body or face. Eventually your pet will get used to the new grooming tool and both you and your pet will have an enjoyable grooming experience.
Basic Maintenance of your Andis Clippers & Trimmers: 1. Turn off the tool. Clean out loose debris with a blade brush.
Turn the tool on. Use Andis Cool Care Plus® spray to clean and cool the blade. Turn off the tool and wipe off excess residue.
Turn on the tool and apply 5 drops of Andis Blade Oil to the blade: Place 3 drops across the front teeth and 1 drop at each inside rear corner of the blade. Slightly tilt the clipper or trimmer to the side, allowing the oil to run off onto a towel. Run the clipper for approximately 10 seconds, then turn it off and wipe off any remaining oil.
Note – If you continue to notice a decrease in performance after cleaning and oiling, please consult your Andis use & care manual.
