Monday is question of the week day in the Andis blog. Featured questions are ones that I think have broad appeal/interest from the prior week from ask the expert on the andis.com web site.
How do you use the adjustable lever thingie on the side of an adjustable blade clipper?
This is the tapering adjustment. Look at the blade from the side. Notice the angle of the non-moving blade. Notice how as you move the lever the position of the cutter blade changes relative to the leading edge of the non-moving blade. Notice that when the blade is closed (lever up) the cutting action takes place at the tip of the blade where the non-moving blade is thinner... leaves less hair on the head. Open the lever up all the way (down). Notice that the cutter is now positioned back at a much (relatively) thicker portion of the non-moving blade... leaves more hair on the head. You can position the blade at any point from the extremes open and closed to in between. This adjustment feature lets you taper and blend with extreme precision and control. It is that simple.
Be on the lookout for a YouTube video explaining this info. I am shooting it tonight and will post it next week.
Thank you for another great question.

Does andis have cheap hair clippers? Most of what I have seen from them is the more high end professional stuff. I don't need anything that nice, any help would be great!
