Last week we looked at a 5 part series on leveraging your educational investments. We got good comments. The 5 mini posts were easy to post and made for a great week of info... so... the theme will be extended... this week: Clipper care in 5 easy stems or installments. I will post 1 great element of clipper care every day for the week.
I will also post right here, right now the link to the andis clipper care and maintenance card. You can download it and use it as an ongoing reminder. Link HERE.
Today is post #1 of clipper care.
#1 Check and align your blade.
Before clippering, every client, every time hold the clipper sideways and sight along the baled edge. The blades should be parallel with the cutter blade set back just a slight bit. If the blade is crooked and a tooth is sticking out it will cut or nip a client. Use a screw driver to loosen the blade screws. Do not take them out. Just loosen them enough so you can wiggle the blade back into place. Tighten the screws by walking them down... do not tighten one all the way 'cuz if you do the blade will twist or squirm when the screw bottoms out. Walking the screws allows you to set the blade down even and in place. Once it is down tighten the screws all the way. Check it again one last time to be sure you have it where you want it.
Tomorrow is step #2
