FOR USE IN NORTH AMERICA: CHARGING UNIT - READ THE FOLLOWING BEFORE CHARGING THIS TRIMMER. Remove Andis clipper/trimmer and wall transformer from carton and plug into 120V or 230V outlet as identified on the bottom of the wall transformer, or on the outside of the carton. Note that the clipper/trimmer ON/OFF switch must be in the OFF position for the battery to charge. The clipper/trimmer can be charged in the stand or by connecting directly to the wall transformer. To charge in the stand, make sure transformer is plugged into back of stand and place clipper/trimmer on to center post of the stand. Use ONLY an RCT type transformer. The red LED’s on the base of the stand will light up when transformer is correctly plugged in and clipper/trimmer is in stand. To charge directly with transformer, plug RCT transformer into back of the RCT clipper/trimmer. Use ONLY an RCT type transformer. The red LED on the side of clipper/trimmer will turn on when transformer is plugged in. The clipper/trimmer will fully charge in 8 hours. You may keep the clipper/trimmer in the charger when not in use. The charger will maintain the battery at full charge and the red light will stay on. The unit has a Nickel Metal Hydride battery that cannot be damaged by overcharging. However, we recommend that the charger be unplugged if the clipper/trimmer won’t be used for seven or more days. PLEASE NOTE: Nickel Metal Hydride batteries have less “memory effect” than Nickel Cadmium batteries. Memory effect is caused by repeated short uses of the trimmer, followed by charging. The battery never fully discharges and, therefore, “forgets” how much energy it can store. In order to maximize the performance of your Nickel Metal Hydride battery, please follow these steps: 1) Oil the blade. Turn the trimmer on and allow it to run until the blade slows significantly. It is not necessary to let the blade stop completely. 2) Turn the trimmer off. Charge overnight. 3) Conduct the above exercise every sixty days. FAILURE TO CHARGE 1) Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm with an appliance you know is working). 2) Check to make sure the transformer cord is firmly plugged into the trimmer. Twist the transformer connector slightly to insure good electrical connection. If the trimmer still fails to charge, return the trimmer to Andis or an Andis Authorized Service Station listed in this manual for examination and repair or replacement.

USER MAINTENANCE The internal mechanism of your clipper/trimmer has been permanently lubricated at the factory. Other than the recommended maintenance described in this manual, no other maintenance should be performed, except by Andis Company or an Andis Authorized Repair Service Station. CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES Blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper/trimmer blades leave streaks or slows down, it’s a sure sign blades need oil. The clipper/trimmer should be held in a position shown (Fig. 3) to prevent oil from getting into motor. Place a few drops of Andis Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades (Fig. 2). Wipe excess oil off blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent clipper/trimmer Fig. 1 OIL OIL OIL Fig. 2 Fig. 3 Fig. 4 Fig. 5 BLADE YOKE BLADE SLOT BLADE SET HOOK ARMATURE PIN Fig. 6 Description Clipping/Trimming Direction Approx.
