Typically, this tool is instructed to restore the service and repair of household electrical appliances. But there are such breakdowns of the clipping machine that the owner can independently determine and fix, which will save not only repair time, but also money.
Various modifications of machines determine the characteristic principle of operation:
Machines of this type are distinguished by solid durability with time-tested reliability and good power. They can operate both from the mains supply and from the storage battery. The working attachments are driven through an eccentric mounted on the rotor of the electric motor of the device.
Common breakdowns household tool:
Powered by the city network:
connection cord dilemma;
failure of the on / off button;
eccentric actuation;
violation in the head of the shearing knife block;
failure of the electric motor.
Battery Operated:
the battery has run out or the service life has expired;
the power supply does not work;
malfunction of the cord from the power supply to the machine;
burned out control board.
Vibrating.
Such devices use the principle of electromagnetic induction. Instead of an electric motor, a coil is installed, a permanent magnet pendulum. After turning on the machine, the current flows through the coil, and the core is set in motion, which is connected to the movable cutting element - the knife of the machine.
Major malfunctions this type of machine:
damage to the connection cable;
power button malfunction;
breakage of the coil winding;
increased noise of a working machine.
In a non-working machine, a simple breakdown can be determined by the owner himself. Checking the machine and finding out the cause of the malfunction should be done with the simplest options. The most common malfunction is damage to the conductive cord.
When inspecting, it is necessary to visually make sure that there are no melted traces on the insulation near the plug (if there is no result when you turn it on again - there is a break in the plug), tighten the threaded fasteners, make sure that there are no dark spots on the supply cord (darkened outer insulation may be a break).The presence of visible deviations can cause the machine to stop:
unreliable contact of the connection in the plug;
regular disconnection of the machine from the outlet by the cord;
falling of the included typewriter to the floor;
accidental damage to the wire with a sharp object.
Stopping the machine may be the failure of the power button. When inspecting, make sure that the lead wires are not unsoldered.
Unnatural increased vibration of the machine indicates a malfunction of the electric motor or vibration unit. Foreign objects falling into the cutting edges of the clipper may cause a complete stop or increase vibration.
The lack of lubrication in the rubbing parts of the mechanism, a break in the winding in the coil cause the machine to overheat from the first minute of switching on.
The failure of the drive unit of the machine is indicated by the stopping of the cutting elements when the machine is turned on.
In a rechargeable device, it is necessary to make sure that the battery is working properly and the required level of battery charge.
This video clearly shows a common reason for an unsatisfactory cut of hair with a clipper.

In a home environment, it is possible to repair only those faults that do not require special equipment and appropriate qualifications. This is the replacement of the conductive cord or plug, replacement of the battery. But there are other malfunctions that you can fix yourself.
When the motor shaft or eccentric is clogged, the machine does not turn on, although the indicators show the opposite. The machine starts humming, the body heats up. In this case, it is recommended to open the cover of the device, clean the roller (rotor) and eccentric from accumulated dirt, using such tools and means so as not to damage the working surfaces. After reassembly, it is necessary to check the operability, having previously assembled it in its original form.
The same problem can arise due to careless handling, accidental fall of the typewriter. If dropped, the wires supplying power to the motor may break. When opening, you must pay attention to the integrity of the soldering at the junction of the conductors. If necessary, restore it yourself or in a specialized workshop.
In some cases, the indicators do not light up, the machine does not start. If so, you need to thoroughly check the power cord, plug. Replace or correct the broken connection if necessary. With battery power - to audit not only the battery, but also the charging supply cord. If you suspect a turn-to-turn circuit or a winding break, the best option is to entrust the repair to specialists.
The precise movement of the knives is assisted by two springs installed near the pendulum. If one of them fails, the cutting part does not go through the entire set "route", that is, only up to half. A simple autopsy immediately reveals which spring has burst. Replacing it yourself is not particularly difficult. In specialized stores, you must purchase an identical one and replace the faulty one.
The video presented shows an example of disassembling a vibrating hair clipper and a method for replacing the springs.
VIDEO
Sometimes the vibrating hair clipper buzzes a lot due to the voltage drop in the city network. Well-known brands have a special adjusting device that allows you to adjust the device depending on the voltage level.
Often, the additional noise of the operating device causes a loosening of the coil fastening to the body. It can also happen if the tool is dropped or the factory mount is loose. In this case, simply tightening the threaded screws after opening the coil cover will help. Work must be carried out with some caution, since the thread at the attachment point can turn and will not hold the attached element.
There is a golden rule for the operation of any type of mechanized product: "It is easier to anticipate a breakdown than to eliminate it."This also applies to all clippers:
This type of machine is not designed for long-term operation during the day. For them, the permissible norm is no more than 15 haircuts per day. After that, they must be cleaned and lubricated without fail. More often this type is used as an auxiliary tool for mass haircuts.
An abundant stream of customers from professional hairdressers who use vibrating machines leads to overheating and premature failure. The optimal operating mode for her is no more than 15 minutes, then a mandatory break of no less duration. Professionals do not always manage to adhere to this mode of operation.
The most reliable type of hair clipper. Some variants of the product from well-known manufacturers are equipped with fans that cool the engine. But this is not an indicator for non-stop use throughout the work shift, they also need breaks. But such devices are easier to repair at home.
It is better to carry out simple repairs at home, which will require a minimum of costs. Replacing the cord or plug is easy, just like tightening the mount or lubricating the rubbing parts. More complex repairs are best done in specialized workshops so as not to make things worse. Better yet, protect the tool from falling, contamination, and timely inspect and lubricate.
Most clippers are not much different from old Soviet-era razors, reminiscent of modern mesh models. The vibrator is pendulum inside, the blade makes not strictly horizontal translational movements, describing a large arc. One position: the edges of the movable and fixed knives coincide, they will be parallel, on the opposite side, a slight angle is noticeable. Normal, not in any way a malfunction. Do-it-yourself hair clipper repair is tied to small AC motors, mechanical part. Adjusts the clearance of the cutting edges.
We hope to teach you how to fix a hair clipper. The question is not trivial, as it seems at first glance to be deceived by the apparent simplicity of the design. Surprisingly, the only book describing the repair of hair clippers belongs to the pen of Lepaev and dates back to 1970. Loss of interest, simplicity of design? There are few professionals, there is no time for writing manuscripts, pressing matters are pestering. Regardless of how the hair clipper works, there are:
A transformer, the primary winding of which is often designed to work with voltages of 127, 220 V *.
Stator coils. Two according to the number of supply voltages.
Steel core.
The wings, pendulums, and another similar mechanism that begin to vibrate when an alternating field appears.
Knife block formed by movable and fixed parts.
Switching power supplies have gradually replaced bulk transformers with laminated cores. The small size of digital technology has attracted clipper designers.
Whether there is a pendulum (Moser) inside the hair clipper, a curtain, both are held by two returnable edge springs. The stator does not touch the rotor, otherwise, while working, it gave out a grinding sound. A special screw mechanism will serve the regulatory purposes. The pendulum is often mounted on a bearing. Fails - noise will be heard. The moving part is made as light as possible, the knife can sit on a plastic part (the specific gravity of the polymer is several times less than that of steel). The pendulum may crack in the bearing area. Previously, you had to install a clamp, change a part, today's adhesives will firmly take on. Try Titan.
Hair clippers delight with coils. Ordinary chokes, a schoolboy will wind. Find out the brand of wire, buy a piece of the desired length covered with varnish insulation on the market, make a rewinder, start repairing the hair clipper with your own hands. The old coil is ringing.It will help to make sure: the malfunction will hide here, not the mechanical part. Burnt out transformer (not pulse), rewinding is not difficult. The second step is to lay the turns. A device is used made up of two pairs of racks located opposite each other on different edges of a long board. The axles of one support the old coil, the other accepts the wire. Noticing a break in the beginning or end, postpone buying a new wire on the market, wind back the existing one, subtracting the torn off part. It is important to maintain the correct number of turns, the location of the leads.
The winding of new coils is carried out with the described device. The coils fit tightly, there is no glue, the wire is held by hand. The pull helps to lay the coil with the wire in even layers. The turns are laid down by the shuttle method, from one edge to the other. After the end of the procedure, you need to ring the coil, make sure that the wire is intact. If one voltage is used at home, a longer wire from one unnecessary choke is used to restore the burnt one. Enough length - the market will wait.
The device of a hair clipper is ingenuous. Engine, torque transmission chain. The anchor of the hair clipper rarely breaks except in the case of the crack discussed above. Lubricate, clean the device, prepare yourself regularly. Apply VNII MP - 260, soft brush. The movement of the armature is sometimes adjusted with a screw, make sure that in all positions the teeth of the moving part do not protrude beyond the bed.
In many instances, there is a trimmer that takes energy from the same motor through a transmission.
First, the cord is inspected, the first step is to eliminate a significant part of the breakdowns. Inside, a block is often screwed into the case, you can check the presence of a supply voltage with a tester. In the second turn, the switch, the voltage switch, rings. If necessary, the problem is eliminated (if parts are missing, short-circuit the contacts). Particular attention is paid to soldering.
When the hair clipper does not work satisfactorily, the matter is explained by the incorrect setting of the head, it is time to inspect and lubricate the product. The return springs are worn out. By the way, the tensioning mechanism is also adjustable, if the amplitude of the knife movement is incomplete, pay attention to this detail. There are specific points. The blade guard must be centered on the hair clipper body. If this is not the case, the parts are fitted to each other by filing. Pay due attention to the adjustment of the relative position of the knives. At Moser, for example, you will find a slotted screwdriver screw on the side that adjusts the correct clearance. The clipper may not work at all or cut perfectly depending on how correctly the control is turned. Samples are carried out on a material that resembles wool.
The knives are positioned so that the edges of the movable and stationary go flush. For pendulum models, the adjustment position is selected when the tines are parallel. When tilted, one side will be lower than the other. To adjust the relative position, Moser has two screws that support the fixed part. The assembly hangs on the holder. The bolts are loosened with a screwdriver, after which the exhibition takes place in the right way. Then the fasteners are tightened. In the case of a slotted screwdriver, use the widest tip possible, the iron is not hot, it will be damaged when twisted.
Knives are often dull. Special machines are engaged in sharpening. They look like a potter's wheel, an aluminum disc. To begin with, the surface of the table is thoroughly cleaned and dried. After that, an abrasive is poured on top, leveled with a flat plate over the area. The knife is located on the disc strictly along the radial line. A laser pointer is built into the sharpening machine. The knife is clamped with a special clamp, the circle starts. The master gently presses from above, the sparks should fly in the direction of the teeth. At the end of the procedure, the knives are washed in a solution and lubricated. The test is carried out on a piece of wool or other material that resembles hair.
The design nuances cause small differences that characterize the self-repair of do-it-yourself clippers. At Moser, Torx screws are often used in the knife block, and the return spring is one double-sided.
The steel spiral is hooked with its ears on a movable knife, which is inserted into the anchor during installation. The cutting level regulator presses on the same spring, adjusting the position of the knife. There are no coils at all in these models. Inside there is a motor equipped with an eccentric shaft. By moving the stem, the knife goes back and forth. Accordingly, there are no magnets inside, the knife is extremely light, due to which the efficiency of the device increases (the inertia of the movable block is minimal). The power board supplies the (externally collector) motor with voltage. Checking the performance of the motor is as easy as shelling pears - ring the windings, the resistance should be in the order of tens of ohms.
The board is assembled on microcircuits and is powered, among other things, by a battery. To replace the source, you will have to get hold of a Torx screwdriver for a seven, after removing the case, all the necessary operations are performed. The battery itself resembles finger-type batteries, assembled in a bunch of three, but in fact it is easily charged from the AC mains through the adapter. It is clear that there is a switching power supply inside, on this issue you can go over on our website, there are quite a few articles posted where the procedure is considered.
VIDEO
In short, inside there is a number of input filters through which the voltage is supplied to the key element (transistor, thyristor, less often a relay). The control signal is generated by a high frequency generator. Due to this approach, it is possible to reduce the weight and dimensions of the transformer. Actually, the technology is still used today in power supplies. This applies to cell phones, laptops and other household appliances. In this sense, repairing a dog clipper is no different from high technology. What can break here?
Diode bridge.
Filter capacitors and resistors.
Transformer.
Key (transistor, thyristor).
Generator.
There are also Schottky diodes at the output. Chosen for low voltage drop across open junction. Thus, repairing do-it-yourself hair clippers requires basic knowledge of electronics. That's all for today! We sincerely hope that we are helping readers overcome their fear of household appliances.

More and more men prefer to cut their hair on their own: cutting and trimming their hair at home can significantly save money. While the benefits are obvious, not everyone knows how to properly set up a hair clipper so that you can use it without problems later. In today's article, we'll talk about the intricacies of setting up this type of device and consider some of the features of operation.
Many people ask the question, why regulate such a seemingly simple device, because it can work without any adjustment. Yes, it can, but not as long as with proper care. If you set up a hair clipper and periodically service it, performing simple routine maintenance, it will work much longer and will not cause problems with minor breakdowns.
Over time, some appliances can become uncomfortable to use, bite tufts of hair, or get electrocuted.At the first sign of malfunctioning, service the device immediately.
Over time, unbalanced knives can leave a few uncut hair in a row of straight hair, which can damage the overall appearance of the hairstyle. In addition to possible malfunctions, adjustment may be necessary and for ease of use ... So, if you want the device to serve you for a long time and not present unpleasant surprises, then you should adhere to several recommendations.
Adjusting the hair clipper blades is a must throughout the life of the hair clipper. This is done only when a decrease in the performance of the device becomes obvious (it cuts worse, bites, knives seize).
To adjust the blades of the device, it is necessary to thoroughly clean it from dirt, dust and small hairs. Of the tools you will need simple screwdriver and in some cases a special sharpening board with several surfaces.
Using a screwdriver, the screws that secure the blades to the body are unscrewed. It is important to remember that different manufacturers place fasteners in different places, but the principle itself always remains the same. Having done this procedure completely once, there should not be any difficulties in the future.
Despite the general principle of adjustment, differences still exist, therefore, a more detailed description by manufacturer will be given below.
First you need to loosen the bolts on the body by unscrewing both screws. The edge of the lower blade moves towards the edge (right) of the upper one. This position is fixed and set. This often results in the most optimal trimming of dense, short bristles. In some cases, it may be necessary to fix to the left edge or even to the middle.
There is also a simpler setting of cars, without orientation to corners. The process is exactly the same, but with one difference: the middle of the upper blade serves as a mark. In this way, most modern budget-level electric machines are regulated.
If the device has been in use for a long time, it will most likely require lubricate metal parts in order to keep them as long as possible. In most cases, it is enough to expose the blades once and the hair clipper will work again for a long time, until the next service. To extend the life of the knives, after each haircut, clean them from dirt and fine hair, and also wipe them thoroughly so that moisture does not penetrate into the body.
If you still have difficulties in debugging the blades, you can refer to the video tutorials on balancing them.

Feature: It is best to leave a small gap between the upper and lower knife. This will optimize the operation of the device and exclude biting during operation. Do not tighten the bolts too much to prevent thread breakage. If the thread is damaged, the adjustment of the blades will be much more difficult, if not impossible.
Here's the best way to adjust your brand machine Moser:
VIDEO
Special feature: The machine will work best if, when adjusting, the blades are set so that the outermost tooth of the small knife goes slightly behind the tooth of the large blade. The machines of this brand have a strong thread, into which the screws that fix the blades are planted, but you should not screw them all the way to the stop.
Brand devices Domoteс it is best to regulate like this:
VIDEO
Feature: Before installing the blades, it is best to lightly grind them on a sharpening board using the lapping side. Remember to lightly dampen the surface of the board with water. If necessary, repeat the procedure until the blades are completely worn in. Unbalance occurs due to constant vibration under loads and contact (friction) of metal surfaces.
For typewriters of the brand Skarlett the following actions are quite applicable:
VIDEO
Feature: many models are adjusted without removing the blades, by simply tightening the mounting bolts. In some cases, it may be necessary to lubricate worn-in parts. For the base, it is better to use a new generation of lubricants based on hydrocracking additives or regular engine oil.
Machines from this manufacturer require more frequent adjustments. However, the process itself is significantly simplified compared to the models of other brands, so it will not be difficult to perform such a service.
It is worth paying attention to the general criteria for the care of equipment.
Before servicing the device, read the instruction manual. There, the entire service process is shown clearly and clearly (in addition, step by step).
You should not do something if you are not confident in your abilities or are afraid to break the device.
If the device is used throughout the year, the use of lubricants lubricating the iron parts is necessary, because the factory basis has already been worked out by this time.
In case of prolonged use, or if the machine is used frequently, it may be necessary to additional lapping of blades ... To do this, you need to purchase a sharpening board with various surfaces.
In no case should the blades be fixed by force. If the knives do not fit in the right position, there is a possibility that something was done incorrectly, it may be worthwhile to study the instructions again or look for additional information. Some models are supplied with a special fixing key. True, it is quite rare, so experts recommend using ordinary screwdrivers, which are available in every home.
If adjusting the blades doesn't help, it may be worth replacing them. New knives are much cheaper than complete tool assemblies. Many modern hair clippers are standardized and can be fitted with matching attachments and blades.
Using the hair clipper is very simple. You can also take care of her easily. Adjusting the knives will not take a lot of time from the owner, but such a simple action often helps to breathe a second life into the device, which until recently seemed to be faulty. All you need is a little patience and perseverance. In the future, this process will take very little time. Plus, by getting used to serving one model, you can get the skill of adjusting the blades on most modern hair clippers.

I am a professional groomer. She used to cut with a Moser 1225 clipper. But she was already almost 12 years old (I got it from my mother). I have already started to “pull” the motor badly. I decided that at such a venerable age it hardly makes sense to count on repairs - one will fix it, tomorrow the other will break. And I bought the nearest newer analogue of Moser Max 45 (Type 1245).
What can I say. Weight is slightly less than its predecessor. There are 2 speeds - this is a plus. True, out of habit it is difficult to switch not at the top, but at the bottom on-off. But this is just exactly a matter of habit. no more. The wire is a little thinner, not twisted so much.
There is less noise than Moser 1225. But the same rotary, different wool takes. There was a complaint in the reviews that he does not take the coat of a Golden Retriever - I don’t know how he is golden, he takes Pekingese normally (their wool is not the easiest one either). Knife included for 3 mm. On the one hand, it is good to have such a knife, but even 1 mm is needed, it is not. The attachments are not included in the kit either.
But the main thing that I don't like is the knife warming up. Despite air cooling. Do not give me a warranty card when buying a store, which says that in which case only repairs are free, and there is no exchange, by God I would change. This was not the case with the Moser 1225. She cut and cut, did not warm up. And this one heats up, and quickly.
Supplement after 1.5 years of work. The contacts in the wire were quickly frayed, fortunately, the repair cost only 450 rubles, but little pleasant - extra time, money, nerves, when customers are on record.The silicone on the power switch key is hard, over time it became unrealistic to press the key and work, plus the key loosened up to mode 1. As a result, I held the key with my finger and cut it - how uncomfortable it is. We replaced the silicone with a softer one, it became better. The master said. button if something to change is also quite realistic. But the predecessor was more reliable, I already regret that I did not fix it, but threw it away. But I don’t reduce 4ku for this model - it’s still an adequate professional-level instrument. But the vaunted German quality has become very lame in the last 5-10 years if we talk about moser, over the last 5 years the quality of knives has sharply deteriorated, many people say about this on all groomer forums, I'm not the only one who suffers, and the build quality, as we can see, too.
Simple models of clippers are practically no different from the usual razors of the times of the USSR. The only difference is that in modern models of clippers, the vibrator is pendulum, so the blade does not move horizontally, but in an arc.
Before you repair your hair clipper, you need to understand the internal structure of the device. At first glance, the design of the machine is simple, without technological bells and whistles, so difficulties in the repair process are not expected. Internal structure of a hair clipper:
voltage transformer;
steel core;
two stator coils;
vibrating mechanism;
cutting unit with self-sharpening blades (includes movable and fixed parts).
The pendulum or swing arm is fixed with springs on the sides. Plus, the pendulum is mounted on a bearing (one of the vulnerable spots that can easily crack). The movable part of the cutting mechanism is made light, thanks to the combination of different materials - plastic and metal.
The device of the coils is simple, any boy can handle them. You just need to buy a wire of the required length, make a primitive rewind device and start repairing. The coils fall evenly from one edge to the other; they do not need to be fixed. If a person has minimal knowledge in the field of electronics, it will not be difficult for him to repair and assemble a hair clipper on his own. It will be more difficult for people who do not know the rules for handling tools for electrical work. But having studied the theory, you can safely begin to translate your knowledge into practice.
I am a groomer (dog hairdresser). And my main working tool is a hair clipper Moser max 45, aka 1245. In 2014, this cost 7 thousand, now it costs so much in online stores. The machine is rotary, which means it is more powerful than vibration ones. In addition, the vibration gives this very vibration to the hand - not very pleasant. It is possible to adjust the power 15W (up) or 45W (down). Let's say a Yorkie and most non-puffy breeds will have enough for 15, but a puffy maltese, a poodle, or if mats are a down button. This button adjusts
However, the button also has a minus - it loosened in 1.5 years (in 1225 it was different and the whole machine served without breakdowns for about 10 years). And this silicone cap is a new softer one after repair. The previous one was hard, that the button was not squeezed out and was practically held with a finger for the last 3 months, which is inconvenient.
The knife comes with 3 mm, this is inconvenient, you still have to buy a 1 mm knife, it is more versatile.
Although Moser's knives have deteriorated a lot over the past 6 years, hairdressers do not complain, but many are unhappy on groomer forums - it lasts only a month. Therefore, if possible, take the Andis knife, it is fully compatible
The knife is removed by pressing on this gray part and pulling it upwards towards yourself - it is held on a metal flat pin. Washed, greased and put back on. Flushing and lubrication is required so as not to become blunt. And before the very first haircut, you need to drip oil - 3 drops per teeth and turn it on. And with a brush, before lubricating and during the cutting process, we remove excess hair from the tooth and from under the nozzles.
The attachments are not included (only a brush and a small oil bubble). I took a separate set Dewall 3,6,9,12 mm,
The smallest ones are erased faster due to more frequent use, so there are also magnetic Andis 1.5 and 3 mm - not very comfortable, but better than nothing
Of the minuses, the wire was frayed in 1.5 years - I recently changed it. Noisy, but there are not many silent cars.
So the overall device is good. but the vaunted German quality used to be much better. But the main thing - if you buy a machine for a dog / cat (for cats there is a separate line of knives from Andis - green), then take it for animals. since they differ from human ones in the power and specifics of sharpening the knife. Not every dog will take human hair.
Buying a hair clipper can help you save a lot on your hair salon visit. In addition, such an acquisition will facilitate the care of the beard and sideburns, and will also help to make the child a haircut in a comfortable environment.
An important criterion for choosing a suitable model is the material of the knives, because the speed and quality of the haircut depends on it. It is this element and its features that our article is devoted to.
Clipper knives come in different types.
Manufacturers always strive to profitably play on the merits of design, additional accessories and "promotion" of the brand, but it is the duration of use and the quality of the cut depend on the material of the blades.
More details about this structural element are described below.
There are about the same varieties of such blades as there are alloys invented. Depending on the technology, conventional metal knives or with a special coating are used. Usually, the life of the metal is quite limited, especially if low-quality steel was used.
The sprays prolong the useful life and also contribute to the quality of the hair trimming.
There are many varieties of suitable spraying. The classification of the main types is given below.
Types of specialized materials:
Ceramic material does not heat up during operation, has a good service life.
Titanium plated considered hypoallergenic, non-irritating to the skin and suitable for use in children.
Carbon or diamond It is used for dry and wet haircuts, providing a precise cut, ideal for coarse hair.
Choosing a typewriter according to this principle, do not forget that you always have to overpay for quality. Verified brands value their reputation using good components, so the cost of such products is usually higher. If you are offered a diamond coating on an inexpensive model, you should doubt its quality, because such a compromise is simply impossible.
Of course, the segment of such products is very diverse. The cost of suitable models varies in the widest range, and in fact it is not always a matter of the brand and the type of spraying. There are clippers in which the blades perform additional functions and are able to guarantee the maximum accuracy and quality of the haircut.
What are the special knives for a haircut:
Self-sharpening blades do not require frequent replacement and maintenance. The service life of such knives is much longer than that of the standard versions.
Blades with a modified sharpening angle ... The geometry of these knives is not quite standard, which ensures long-term operation.
Retractable blades. Usually, clippers are made with removable attachments for shaping hair of different lengths. Retractable blades make it possible to do without these accessories, the length will be automatically adjusted when setting the modes on the product body.
As a rule, machines with modernized knives cost an order of magnitude more, but this is quite repaid by the period of trouble-free service.
Such models are classified as professional, but they are also suitable for home use.

How to lubricate your hair clipper:
After cutting it is necessary to thoroughly clean the body and knives from the remaining hair. To do this, it is more convenient to use the stiff-bristled brush, which is also included in the kit.
On the base of the knife (below the location of the blades), apply a couple of drops of the special oil included in the kit (can be purchased separately).
After that, you need to turn on the machine and let it run for at least two minutes. This will distribute the lubricant evenly to the moving parts.
The machine must be disconnected from the power supply and the remaining oil from the body and blades must be removed.
