How do I care for my ANDIS blades?
Blades should be oiled before, during, and after each use. If your clipper blades leave streaks or slow down, it is a sure sign they need to be oiled. Position the clipper or trimmer so the blade is facing towards the ground, as the motor does not require internal lubrication. Place a few drops of ANDIS Clipper Oil on the front and side of the clipper blade. Wipe excess oil off blades with a soft dry cloth. When not in use, store blades in the vapor paper provided with the clipper or trimmer at time of purchase.

Ceramic blades are a great leap forward for Andis. Ceramics are light weight and highly durable. They do not transmit heat so they run cool and fast. They stay sharper longer. Best of all they cut smoother and faster making haircutting a pleasure.
