Blade adjustment
Setting the blades of this appliance is a very important procedure. You need to perform it when the machine starts to work poorly. She may start to cut hair inaccurately or bite her hair.
In order to adjust the blade of the clipper, it is necessary to clean it from dust and dirt. Perhaps they had hair left, they also need to be removed without fail. How to set up a hair clipper?

Initially, you need to loosen the bolts on the case and unscrew the two screws. The end of the blade should be moved to the edge of the upper. This position must be fixed and correctly set. It is this procedure that will allow you to find an excellent haircut of hair and beard.

Proper machine care
For long-term operation of the machine, some important rules should be followed:
- Before setting, you must definitely look at the instructions and study in detail all the information written in it. If this is not done, you can start doing everything wrong and aggravate the condition of the device.
- After each haircut, the machine must be cleaned well. As a rule, this is necessary for hygiene purposes and so that the hair that remains after the procedure does not clog the motor and does not overheat. If you do not take this seriously, the machine will simply burn out, and you should not count on a guarantee in this case. Based on this, it is best to clean the blades with the help of a special brush.
- Be sure to lubricate the blades, and you need to do this often. A large percentage of people do not comply with this rule, as they consider it a waste of time, and then complain that the machine does its job poorly. The best option is to lubricate after each haircut. Immediately after this, turn on the machine so that the oil uniformly lubricates all the elements.
- Never lubricate with other substances than the special grease included in the kit. If the lubrication is over, you can use engine oil.
- Also necessary is the sharpening of the blades. This can be done once every three months.
- The machine can not be left in a room where the temperature is about zero degrees. It must be kept at room temperature.
- If the machine is charging with the battery, then first you need to discharge it to the end, and then charge for about eight hours.
- Even if no one has been using the machine for a long time, the battery still requires charging once every six months.
- Never adjust the blades using force. If it is not possible to put the blades in the desired position the first time, then we can assume that there is some kind of problem. Therefore, you must initially follow the recommendations and read the instructions for use again. In many models, the kit comes with a special key for this procedure. If there is no such option, you can use a screwdriver.
- Such a situation may occur that the adjustment does not help at all, and the device continues to malfunction. In this case, you can purchase new knives. They cost an order of magnitude cheaper than the new machine. It is worth noting that many go special blades and nozzles.
