ESSENTIAL MAINTENANCE TIPS FOR CLIPPERS

Your clippers are not just tools; they are investments in your grooming routine. To ensure they perform at their best and stand the test of time, proper maintenance is key. In this guide, we'll explore essential maintenance tips for keeping your clippers in top condition. This helps you achieve flawless grooming results with every use.

Cleanliness is Key 

  • Start by removing any hair and debris from the blades and body of the clippers after each use. A small brush can be handy for this task.
  • Regularly disassemble the blade set and clean them thoroughly with a blade wash or cleaning solution. This removes buildup residue.

Oil Regularly

  • Keeping your clippers well-oiled is key to making sure they work smoothly and last longer. Apply a few drops of clipper oil to the blades after every other use to ensure smooth operation and prevent friction (see picture for oil placement). 
  • Be sure to use oil specifically designed for clippers, as household oils may not provide adequate lubrication and could potentially disadvantage the blades. We also have clipper/cleaning oil in assortment. This one is perfect for your tools.

Check Tension and Alignment

  • Periodically check the tension and alignment of the blades to ensure they are properly aligned and securely fastened. Loose or misaligned blades can cause uneven cutting and unnecessary wear and tear on the motor. Besides that, poorly aligned cutting blades can damage the customer's skin
  • Follow the manufacturer's guidelines for adjusting blade tension, and use a screwdriver to make any necessary adjustments carefully.

Replace worn parts 

  • Over time, the blades, combs, and other components of your clippers may wear out and need replacement. Keep an eye on the condition of these parts and replace them as needed to maintain optimal performance.
  • Investing in high-quality replacement parts from the manufacturer or authorized dealers ensures compatibility and reliability. If you don’t know how to do this properly, make sure to contact a service center

Store Properly

  • When not in use, store your clippers in a clean, dry place away from moisture and dust. Consider investing in a protective case or storage pouch to prevent damage during transport or storage.
  • Avoid storing clippers with the blades exposed, as this can increase the risk of damage or accidental injury.

Maintenance is key

By following these maintenance tips, you can keep your clippers in top condition. Ensuring they deliver consistently excellent results for years to come. Remember, proper maintenance not only extends the lifespan of your clippers but also enhances their performance.
