carbon brush cap with a standard size screwdriver. Turn clockwise only until you
feel the brush cap stop. If the brush cap is tightened too tightly, it will force the
brush spring past the carbon brush and will cause damage to the commutator.
SERVICING OF A DOUBLE-INSULATED CLIPPER
In a double-insulated clipper, two systems of insulation are provided instead of
grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated clipper, nor
should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated clipper
requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by
an Andis Authorized Service Station. Replacement parts must be identical to
those parts being replaced. A double-insulated clipper is marked by the words
“double insulation” or “double insulated”. The symbol
may also be marked
on the appliance.
FACTORY REPAIR SERVICE
When the blades of your Andis clipper become dull after repeated use, it is
advised to purchase a new set of blades available through your Andis supplier or
through an Andis Authorized Service Station. Some blade sets can be
resharpened – contact Andis Company for information on resharpening. To find
an Andis Authorized Service Station near you log on to www.andis.com or
contact our customer service department: 1-800-558-9441 (U.S.) or
1-800-335-4093 (Canada).
in the guide slot of the tension spring (Figure E). Now slide the upper blade to
the opposite side of the lower blade and repeat this process. After completing
this procedure, slide the upper blade, centering it over the lower blade. Handle
or store your Andis Clipper with the blades down so excess oil will not run into
the clipper case.
CHANGING THE BLADE DRIVE ASSEMBLY
If your clipper blades no longer cut properly (be sure to try more than one blade,
since the blade currently being used may be dull), it could be that your blade
drive assembly needs replacement.
To change the blade drive assembly:
1. Remove blade set (Figure A).
2. Remove drive cap (Figure F).
3. Remove blade drive mounting screws (Figure G).
4. NOTE: Before removing blade drive assembly, note the way it is positioned
(this will help you in reassembly). Remove blade drive assembly (Figure H).
5. Drive bearing should be at its lowest position, if not, move it with your finger
to lowest position (Figures I & J).
6. Put on new drive assembly, align screw holes and press down (Figure H).
7. Reassemble blade drive by mounting screws (Figure G).
8. Replace drive cap (Figure F).
9. Replace blade (Figure C).
REPLACEMENT OF CARBON BRUSHES (MODEL AG2 ONLY)
WARNING: Clipper must be unplugged before removing carbon brush caps or
performing any maintenance, as electrical shock may occur. The carbon brushes
of your clipper should be checked every three to six months. Carbon brush
replacement should be performed when the carbon brushes reach no less than
1/16" in length. To replace the carbon brushes, unscrew brush caps with a
standard screwdriver. Do one side at a time.
Caution: the carbon brushes are spring loaded. Take precaution when
unscrewing the brush caps from the unit. The brush spring should be in plain
view upon removing the cap. Pull out the spring and brush from its canal, then
remove old carbon brush. Tip the clipper to one side so the carbon brush slides
out. Be sure to note the way the brush is inserted so that if it does not need
replacing, it may be re-inserted in exactly the same position. When placing a
new carbon brush into the carbon brush canal, make sure to align the curvature
on the end of the carbon brush with the curve of the commutator seen at the
bottom of the canal (Figure K). When aligned properly, the two beveled edges of
the carbon brush will be located in the upper right and lower left corners. Be
sure to insert the beveled end of the carbon brush into the canal first. Failure to
perform this procedure correctly may cause the carbon brushes to not seat
themselves properly against the commutator. Replace the carbon brush spring
into the brush cavity after the carbon brush has been installed, then replace
Caution: Never handle your Andis clipper while you are operating a water
faucet, and never hold your clipper under a water faucet or in water. There is
danger of electrical shock and damage to your clipper. Andis Company will
not be responsible in case of injury due to this carelessness.
