With
proper use and maintenance, your clippers can last for many years. To keep them
in top condition, follow the manufacturer's instructions for that particular
clipper and lubricate regularly according to instructions. It sounds obvious,
but follow the directions carefully. For example, some manufacturers recommend
using a cooling spray during use; others do not.
Store
clippers in a dry place. A small toolbox is ideal and can also hold blades,
lubricant, et cetera. Unless clippers are warranted as maintenance free, they
should be cleaned and serviced once a year.
Care
of the blades is important if you want them to last and hope to get a smooth
cut.
If
you only start out with two types of blades, purchase a set of #10 blades, which
are most commonly used for body clipping, and a set of #30 blades for finer
trimming.
When
buying blades remember: Choose high grade steel which contains chromium and a
high carbon content to retain sharpness longer. Ice-tempered steel blades coated
with titanium are harder than average blades which translates to longer life and
less sharpening. Some premium blades have an additional chromium coating to
resist outer surface corrosion.
Blades
can have a long life if properly stored and cared for.
