The whole family is often sheared with an apparatus: from babies to the oldest generations, men and women. After each operation, the tool must be cleaned for hygiene. But some do not know that, in addition to cleaning, the appliance needs to be lubricated before each use.
Without oil, the tool crashes after the first hours of operation, and users think that sellers cheated in the store. Even the best machine will break quickly without regular lubrication.
It’s easy to figure out how and how to lubricate the clipper. You will be surprised at the simplicity of action and the possible replacement of specialized oils.
Why is it necessary to regularly lubricate the clipper
If you do not add oil before work and do not clean the electric machine after, then the following occurs:
- The knives rub against each other, as a result of which they are blunt, heat the device and move with jerks. The cutting process is slowed down and complicated; The working unit becomes dirty; Cutting parts get dull faster; The device fails ahead of time.
Lubrication of the device prevents this, and also makes the haircut softer, removes jerking.
What lubricants are suitable
It is preferable to use specialized oils, for example, Moser, Oster, Dewal.
Synthetic, silicone and mineral lubricants are also suitable. The main thing is that they are low viscosity. Silicon-electric oil is recommended by many users from the Internet.
People show ingenuity and find unusual examples of lubricants. When you didn’t find anything suitable,
used liquid paraffin or baby - "Johnson's Baby". Both one and the other coped with the task. Sewing machine oil is preferred by users because of price and availability. Replacement with mineral, turbine and machine lubricants is possible.
Important! Do not use vegetable oil! Just ruin the device. At best, the device will jam, at worst it will break.
How to lubricate a clipper
Extend the life of the electric machine and make the job easier by performing simple lubrication steps. Use the step-by-step instructions:
Clean the block of knives from hair after the end of work. If there is a brush with a hard pile, then use it.
Wipe the parts with a soft cloth or cloth. Disinfect if possible.
Apply a drop of oil to 3 points where the knives are most pressed against each other. Usually these are the edges and center. Also add under the heel of the knives. But not on the comb! The smallest drops will enter the cutting parts of the electric machine.
Turn on the tool and count to 10. The oil is evenly distributed over the surface of the knives.
Wipe the device so that there is no excess.
Reference! If there is no special grease fitting, use a medical syringe to fill the oil.
In the instructions of non-separable machines I will
Special places for filling grease are described. If the battery is lubricated, then remove the unit, and reinsert it only onto the switched on device. This is done so as not to damage the pin.
Oiling the clippers with oil takes 5 minutes, and extends the life of the device by a month. Be careful when working with blades and do not get hurt.
If the tool will not be used for a long time, clean and grease it, and then wipe it dry.
Important! Clippers for people are not intended for pets! The softest hair is denser and tougher than human hair. The power of the electric machine is not enough to cope with the hairline of pets. Get a special tool for grooming pets or take your four-legged friends to the groomer - a hairdresser for animals.
Hairdressers allow you to use cheaper oil changes to lubricate the machines. But do not save. Extend the life of the tool, use high-quality specialized lubricants. Oils are designed with the intended purpose of the machines in mind and will improve performance and productivity.
But remember that a bad tool and with better lubrication will ruin the haircut.
