Snap On blade cleaning and maintenance
Clean Snap On blades when the cutting performance decreases or when, for example, hair gets between the blades and the shaving head plucks.
- To do this, push the blade more than halfway to one side and clean the gap thoroughly with the cleaning brush.
- Then slide the blade to the other side and repeat the process.
- Push the blade back and oil the shaving head.
If the blade still does not cut after simple maintenance, there is a hair between the precision blades exactly in the middle, please remove the blade completely by pushing it all the way out. Clean the plates thoroughly with a soft cloth (toilet paper is best) and replace the blade (follow the instructions for blade replacement).
When you change the blades (possible in ceramic or steel for GogiPet blades) or replace the blade guide (white here, but can also be black or grey depending on the manufacturer).
- Slide the blade completely out of the clamp.
- Replace the (plastic) blade guide and/or the replacement blade.
To replace the blade, lift the clamp slightly with a flat screwdriver. (Do not overstretch when lifting slightly).
Just high enough for you to push the blade back in.
Insert the blade approximately in the middle and oil the shaving head
- Never open the screws on the front of the clipper head, as you would alter the plate pressure and render the clipper head unusable.
- Oil Snap On clipper heads every 5-10 minutes to avoid overheating, especially with newer clippers that have a faster stroke rate, as clipper heads heat up very quickly.
- It is highly recommended to use cooling and oil sprays specifically designed for clipper heads, as you can continue working immediately without having to wipe off the oil.
- If the clipper head still does not cut, proceed as you would when changing the blade and thoroughly clean the blade and clipper head before reinserting the blade.
- If the blades are blunt, please take them to a local sharpening service.
