Things You'll Need
- Oster Lubricating Oil
- Oster Kool Lube spray (optional)
- Oster Electric Clipper Grease
- Small flat screwdriver
Instructions
Lubricating the Blades
Plug in the clipper and turn it on.
Apply one drop of lubricating oil to either end of the blades. The blades should be lubricated at intervals of one to two hours of regular use.
Use Oster Kool Lube spray every few minutes, if desired, to cool the blades and reduce wear from friction. Apply a quick spray over the blade area.
Lubricating the Gears
Turn off the unit and disconnect the electrical cord.
Use a small flat screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the nameplate on the unit. It is only necessary to check the gears once per month.
Remove the nylon drive lever, the metal link and the gear.
Insert the nozzle of the grease tube into the opening on the top of the gear post. If grease does not pass through you may need to clean the holes.
Put the metal link and gear back in place. Use a very small amount of grease on the gear teeth and linkage.
Replace the nylon drive lever. Use the screwdriver to replace the nameplate using the two screws.
