4. Instruccions de funcionament

The Andis UltraEdge Clipper Blades are designed for efficient and smooth grooming across various hair types. For optimal performance and to ensure a comfortable experience for the animal, follow these guidelines:

• Preparació: Ensure the animal's coat is clean, dry, and free of tangles before grooming. A clean coat helps the blade glide smoothly and prevents premature dulling.
• Lubricació de la fulla: Always apply a few drops of clipper oil to the blade teeth before each use and periodically during extended grooming sessions. This reduces friction, heat, and wear.
• Tècnica de neteja: Hold the clipper firmly and move it smoothly against the direction of hair growth. Use even, consistent strokes to achieve a uniform cut.
• Gestió de la calor: Blades can heat up during prolonged use. If the blade becomes too hot to touch, turn off the clipper, remove the blade, and allow it to cool. Using a blade coolant spray can also help manage heat.
• Specialty Cat Blades: When grooming felines, utilize the EGT UltraEdge Cat Blades (available in spring green) which feature a specialized tooth pattern to minimize track lines in delicate cat coats.

5. Cura i Manteniment

Proper maintenance is crucial for extending the life and performance of your Andis UltraEdge Clipper Blades.

• Neteja després de cada ús: After each grooming session, brush away any loose hair from the blade teeth using a small brush.
• Lubricació: Regularly apply Andis clipper oil to the blade. This lubricates the moving parts, reduces friction, and helps prevent rust.
• Prevenció de l'òxid: The chrome finish and EGT coating on certain blades provide resistance to rust and corrosion. However, it is important to keep blades dry and oiled.
• Emmagatzematge: Store blades in a dry, clean environment. Blade cases or organizers are recommended to protect the cutting edges from damage.
• Afilat: Over time, even the highest quality blades will dull. When your blade no longer cuts efficiently, it may need professional sharpening. Do not attempt to sharpen blades yourself unless you have specialized tools and training.
• Nota important: Do not wash blades with water. While the blades are designed to resist corrosion, direct washing with water can compromise their performance and longevity. Use blade cleaning solutions or sprays specifically designed for clipper blades.
