Basic hair clipper maintenance

Good maintenance not only extends the life of your hair clipper, but also ensures precise and comfortable cutting. Follow these tips to keep it in perfect condition:

1. Cleaning after each use

• Disassemble the blades

  Remove the blades according to the manufacturer's instructions. This will allow you to thoroughly clean away any accumulated hair and dirt.

• Use a small brush

  Using a soft bristle brush, remove hair and debris from the blades and housing. You can use a little isopropyl alcohol to disinfect the parts.

• Oiling the blades

  After cleaning, apply a few drops of special hair clipper oil to the blades. This will reduce friction and prevent them from heating up.

2. Change the blades periodically

The blades are the most important part of the hair clipper and, over time, they can become dull. We recommend changing them every 6 to 12 months , depending on use. At Electrotodo.es you will find original replacement blades for your model.

3. Check the cable and battery

• Wire cutting machine

  If your hair clipper is corded, check it regularly to make sure it is not damaged or worn. A damaged cord can be dangerous and affect the operation of the appliance.

• Cordless hair clipper

  For cordless models, it is important to take care of the battery . Avoid leaving it charging for too long and use only the original charger. If the battery no longer lasts as long as it used to, consider replacing it.

Simple hair clipper repairs

If your hair clipper is experiencing a problem, it is not always necessary to take it to the service center. Here we explain how to fix the most common faults:

1. The cutting machine does not turn on

• Check the electrical connection

  If it is a corded model, make sure the plug is securely connected and there are no cuts in the cable. If it is cordless, check that the battery is charged.
  

• Check the switch

  The ignition switch can wear out over time. If it is not responding, you may need to replace it.

2. The hair clipper does not cut well

• Sharpen or change the blades?

  If the blades are dull, there are people who try to sharpen them with special tools... I... DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS. However, if they are very worn, it is best to replace them with new ones .

• Adjusting the blades

  Sometimes the blades can become misaligned. Make sure they are properly adjusted according to the manufacturer's instructions.

3. The hair clipper makes strange noises

• Clean the inside

  Noises may be caused by a build-up of hair and dirt inside the clipper. Disassemble the parts and clean them thoroughly.

• Check the engine

  If the motor makes loud noises or vibrates excessively, it may be damaged. In this case, you will need to replace it.

4. The machine gets too hot

• Clean and oil the blades

  Overheating is often caused by a lack of lubrication on the blades. Clean and oil the blades after each use.

• Do not use it for too long

  Avoid using the hair clipper for long periods of time. Give it breaks so it doesn't overheat.
