Scarlett sc 160 DIY repair

Hair clippers from the company Scarlett belong to the models of the middle price category. They allow you to facilitate the process of home haircuts for men, shave an intricate pattern on the head, and save on trips to the hairdresser. This brand is one of the most popular electric cars on the market, because at a relatively low cost, all models are of decent quality.

The advantages of such machines:

• The most important and indisputable advantage is cost. The range of prices for them is quite large, but none of the models presented below exceeds the price tag of 1000 rubles. If you bought at a higher price, it means that you were just looking badly.
• Saving on haircuts at the hairdresser. If we take the average cost of a machine haircut in the provinces (200 rubles), then you can understand that the machine will pay off after 4 haircuts. If there are more than two men in the family, then even that is faster.
• Easy to use. These machines do not require super-complicated adjustment of the blades, do not burden the user with the need to adjust the power of the motor with screws, do not require complex maintenance.
• Wide range of accessories: hairbrush, scissors, oil can and nozzles in the amount of 4 pieces. With the help of a comb, you can model haircuts and smooth the transition between lengths, with the help of scissors, you can trim hard-to-reach places near the ears. You can store everything in a case.
• Suitable for childrens haircuts.
• If the hair clipper is tearing, you can adjust the position of the knives.
• The length of the hair can be adjusted not only with the attachments, but also with the help of the side comb. The attachment can be removed altogether.
• There is a thinning mode that allows you to make a smooth transition between strands, removing excess volume, but not cutting the length of the hair.

There are also drawbacks to a hair clipper, but they are not very significant. Get ready for the fact that at first you will only have access to a haircut "ball" or "hat". Unaccustomed to operate the machine will be difficult. To learn how to make a smooth transition, you will have to "process" more than one head.

Models of machines in the budget price category (up to 1000 rubles) differ from each other only in some insignificant detail - the number of attachments or levels of hair length. All popular hair clippers ("SC-1263", "SC-HC63C06", "SC-1260", "SC-HC63C07") have a power of 13 W and operate from the mains, with a cord length of 2 meters. Having looked in online stores, such devices can be purchased at prices ranging from 500 to 800 rubles. The models are the simplest, have 4 attachments in the set and can vary the length of the hair in five sizes (from 3 to 12 mm). The set includes scissors, a comb, an oil can, a protective cover for knives, a storage case.

Two models in the line work autonomously. Wherein "SC-HC63054" can operate both from the mains and from the battery, and "SC-160" - only from the battery. But both the one and the other model have a runtime of 50 minutes. The first takes 8 hours to charge, while the second takes an hour less. Interesting that "SC-HC63054" has 5 steps of hair length and "SC-160" - 7 (with a minimum and maximum length of 3-12 mm and 1-17 mm, respectively). At the same time, the first model has two attachments in the kit, and the second has one. Both units have a work indicator light and durable stainless steel blades.

The body of the self-contained machines is waterproof and can be used in the bathroom (if it is powered by a battery and not from the mains).

The first adjustment of the clipper should be carried out immediately after the purchase. At the factory, all parts of the device are lubricated with technical oil so that the parts do not corrode. Before the first use, knives and other parts are wiped with gasoline until they “squeak”, and then all parts (except for the blades) are covered with the supplied grease. If the hair clipper is tearing out, this does not mean that it is defective. This means that her blades are not adjusted. They are adjusted with a screwdriver, which unscrews the screws on the knives.I want to say right away that the adjustment of the blades is done by trial and error, so it will have to be done the first time on the person who needs to be trimmed. Approximate position - the lower blade should not be very noticeable due to the protrusion of the upper one. You will have to move it either to the right or to the left.

If you do not neglect simple rules, then the machine will last more than one year:

Reviews of such devices are very different. If we take budgetary ones that work only from the network, then usually Fortune plays a big role in the purchase. Someone is very happy with the purchase and has been using it for more than three years. And someone bought it - and did not have time to enjoy the cutting process, as the machine burned out. Almost all users note that the body of the machines heats up during operation. Sometimes it is so strong that during the cutting process the master begins to experience discomfort.

Some specimens “chew” the hair, some - leave behind a “uncut field” of long hairs (while repeated passage through the same places does not give any result). But in response to the dissatisfied, the second part of the users advises to read the instructions, which says that the machine should be driven through the hair no faster than the knives work. It is this part that marks that the clipper cuts perfectly. Such people recommend purchasing it. When it comes to battery-powered machines, there are usually positive reviews. Users are shocked by the fact that the manufacturer indicated some fantastic time required for recharging - at 8 and 7 hours. Typically, cars are charged in 2-3 hours and work for an hour. However, after making a purchase, it is recommended that you fully charge for 8 hours.

Model Scarlett "SC-160" great for cutting children, because it does not vibrate and does not make a lot of noise. For two or three haircuts, a one-year-old child gets used to a slight noise and is no longer frightened. Separately, the weight of 208 g is noted, the hand does not get tired. But the manufacturer reduced the weight due to thin plastic, so everyone unanimously recommends not to drop the machine.

We can say that Scarlett cars are highly recommended for purchase. It is much more offensive to buy a promoted "German" brand, which is also made in China, but at 1,500 rubles more. As a result, many people get a machine that pulls their hair or burns their hands while working. Scarlett - an excellent choice for those who do not see the point in giving money to a hairdresser for what you can do at home yourself.

The next video is an overview of the Scarlett hair clipper.

• Before starting work, check that the blades are installed correctly.

• Do not place the operating device anywhere, as this may result in injury or

• Do not use the clipper with damaged combs or one of the teeth, as this may result in

ATTENTION: LUBRICATE THE BLADES REGULARLY.

• Do not use the machine for skin inflammations.

• Do not clipper animals.

• Before the finished products were shipped from the factory, the cutting blades of the machine were

• After replacing the blades, or if they were removed for cleaning, the adjustment must be done again.

• The tooth profiles of both blades must match exactly when installed, regardless of their offset.

• The ends of the teeth of the removable (outer) blade should be extended approximately 1.2 mm higher

the ends of the movable (internal) teeth, as shown in the figure (Fig. 1).

• If the blades are not installed correctly, apply a few drops of oil to them, turn on the clipper for

for a few seconds, then turn it off and unplug it from the mains. Loosen the two screws slightly and
reinstall the removable blade. Tighten the screws.

• To ensure long-term and reliable operation of the clipper, the blades should be regularly lubricated.

• It is not recommended to use hair oils, fats and oils diluted with kerosene or

• Adjuster lever located on the left side of the clipper makes it easy to adjust the length

hair to be cut, holding the clipper in working position.

• In this case, you can smoothly change the length of the cut hair without using additional attachments.

• The vertical position of the lever gives the shortest haircut, the length of which

increases smoothly (i.e. the length of the cut hair decreases) as
lowering the lever (extending the removable blade).

• With the lower (horizontal) position of the lever, a haircut is obtained,

corresponding to the use of an additional comb. No. 1 (3 mm).

• Using the adjuster increases the blade life because

moving the removable blade, each time different sections of the cutting
surfaces.

• The adjuster also helps to loosen coarse hair between the blades. For this, several

raise and lower the lever quickly once.

• Perform this operation at idle speed, and also after the end of each haircut - to remove

• If hair is difficult to remove and the clipper stops cutting, replace the dull blades.

• Before starting clipping, make sure there is no oil between the prongs. Turn on the machine so that the oil

evenly distributed between the blades and check that they run evenly. Wipe off
emerged oil. Perform this operation after every haircut. Do not twist and
tangle of the power cord during use.

• Comb your hair thoroughly before cutting.

Detachable Comb # - Hair Length mm / inches

• Outside, each ridge is marked accordingly.

• Holding the comb, teeth up, slide it firmly over the blades.

Most clippers do not differ much 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, 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 Lepaev's pen 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:

1. A transformer, the primary winding of which is often designed to work with voltages of 127, 220 V *.
2. Stator coils. Two according to the number of supply voltages.
3. Steel core.
4. The wings, pendulums, and another similar mechanism that begin to vibrate when an alternating field appears.
5. 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 movable 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 on the market a piece of the desired length covered with varnish insulation, 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 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 an AC mains through an 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.
