CLIPPER AND TRIMMER ADVICE

• there is a smell of burning
• you have hit the re-set button and the clipper is still not working
• the clipper motor is running but the blade is not moving, you will need a new drive block.
• the clipper has surges of power and then it cuts off - the cable may need to be replaced.

There are several reasons clippers/trimmers need to be serviced;

• The blades may be blunt. This can happen through normal daily wear and tear. Alternatively you may buy a clipper and the blade may not have been sharpened properly. The blades are machine made and they may not have been sharpened to standard.
• The cable has been cut or damaged stopping any power getting to the motor.
• The machine is getting old and needs to be serviced to get the best from your machine.
• The manufacturer of the machine has a proven record of poor top moderate quality of clipper/trimmer and are not as reliable.

Please note government legislation requires an electrical test to be conducted on machines over 1 year old. This will be completed at the time of serving/repair.

If you are sending clippers for repair or service

• Clean them before sending them to our service department
• Wrap your clippers/trimmers carefully and safely when posting. If possible, wrap the blades separately and send together
• Clearly display your name, address and contact details. Also send through details clearly describing the fault with the clipper and the blade. This will allow the service engineer to investigate the problems and get to work quickly and effectively.
• Label "Christies Direct" clearly on the parcel you are sending through with the blades etc.

• After using your machine, remove the blade and clean out the head
• Oil the head well to prevent rusting
• Air filters should always be kept clean
• Keep the clipper in a warm dry place
• Service at least once a year
• Increase longevity of the battery through
  • Store clipper in damp free area
  • All cordless clippers should be charged 8 hours when you first get it. Run the battery flat before charging again.
  • Spray WD40 on contact points of the charger & battery and wipe dry. This prevents corrosion and ensures you get a full charge of the battery.
• Be careful not to pull or twist the clipper cable, as this will affect the cable and may cause the wires in the cable to fray. Always hang the cable up by the bracket
