Blade Change Instructions

1. Ensure the clipper is switched off and unplugged for safety.
2. Hold the clipper firmly and press the blade release lever (usually located beneath the blade hinge).
3. While holding the release, gently push the blade down and slide it forward off the hinge.
4. To attach a new blade, align the blade bracket with the clipper hinge and slide it onto the hinge tongue.
5. With the clipper switched on, push the blade towards the clipper until it clicks securely into place.
6. Check that the blade is firmly attached and runs smoothly before use.

Changing blades on Andis detachable systems is designed to be quick and intuitive, minimising downtime between clients or pets. Always ensure the clipper is powered off before removing a blade to prevent accidental injury. The release lever allows for tool-free removal, and the hinge system ensures a secure fit for the replacement blade. For best results, run the clipper briefly after attaching a new blade to confirm smooth operation. Regularly inspect blades for damage or dullness and replace as needed to maintain optimal performance and safety.

Compatible Clippers

• Andis AG, AGC, BDC, BG, DBLC, FHC, MBG, MVP, SMC series
• Wahl Stinger, Wahl Predator
• Oster Heavy Duty 97-60

The Andis UltraEdge and CeramicEdge blades are engineered for universal compatibility with the most popular professional clipper models. This includes the full spectrum of Andis detachable-blade clippers, as well as select Wahl and Oster models. This cross-brand compatibility streamlines your toolkit and ensures you can rely on a single blade system across multiple devices, whether in a busy salon, barbershop, or grooming studio.

Blade Materials and Benefits

UltraEdge blades are manufactured from high-carbon steel, which is heat-treated for exceptional hardness and edge retention. The chrome plating resists corrosion, ensuring the blades remain sharp and rust-free even with frequent cleaning and sanitisation. This makes them ideal for high-throughput environments where durability and hygiene are paramount.

CeramicEdge blades incorporate a ceramic cutting edge, which stays up to 75% cooler than traditional steel during use. This reduces the risk of heat-related discomfort for clients and pets, and helps maintain blade sharpness over extended periods. Ceramic blades are also less prone to corrosion and maintain a smooth, snag-free cut, making them particularly suitable for sensitive skin or long grooming sessions.

Both blade types are designed for easy cleaning and maintenance, supporting best practices in professional settings. The choice between UltraEdge and CeramicEdge allows you to tailor your toolkit to your specific workflow, client needs, and personal preferences.

Maintenance and Care Instructions

• Cleaning: After each use, remove hair and debris with a blade brush. For thorough cleaning, detach the blade and soak in a suitable cleaning solution or use clipper spray. Rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
• Oiling: Apply a few drops of clipper oil to the blade’s teeth and moving parts before, during, and after each use. Run the clipper briefly to distribute oil, then wipe away any excess.
• Sharpening: Sharpen blades as needed using a professional sharpening service or a suitable sharpening stone. Replace blades that are chipped, rusted, or cannot be restored to optimal sharpness.
• Storage: Store blades in a dry, protective case or blade holder. Avoid stacking blades directly to prevent nicks and misalignment.
• Hygiene: Disinfect blades between clients or pets using an approved sanitising solution. Follow all local health and safety regulations for professional grooming tools.

Proper maintenance is essential for blade longevity and safe operation. Regular cleaning prevents build-up that can dull blades or cause skin irritation. Oiling reduces friction, minimises heat, and extends the life of both the blade and the clipper motor. Sharpening restores cutting performance, but blades with significant damage should be replaced. Always store blades in a clean, dry environment to prevent rust, and adhere to strict hygiene protocols to protect clients and pets.

Use Cases and Benefits

For hairdressers and barbers, the Andis UltraEdge and CeramicEdge blades enable precise fades, sharp outlines, and smooth, even cuts across all hair types.

For dog groomers, these blades tackle everything from fine, delicate trims to heavy-duty coat removal. The cooler-running CeramicEdge options are ideal for sensitive pets or long sessions, while the robust UltraEdge blades handle dense or matted fur with ease. The skip-tooth variants excel at blending and tackling thick coats, while full-tooth blades deliver a plush, velvet finish.

Both ranges are trusted by professionals for their reliability, ease of maintenance, and consistent results. Investing in quality blades not only improves the grooming experience for clients and pets but also enhances your reputation as a skilled, safety-conscious professional.
