FAQs
What is the cutting length of this blade?
This specific blade provides a 9.5mm cutting length.
Will this fit my Andis clipper?
Yes, this blade is designed for universal A5-style snap-on mechanisms, making it compatible with most Andis, Oster, and Wahl clippers.
Do I need to sharpen this blade?
While it is made from high-quality carbon steel, all professional blades eventually need professional sharpening after extended use.
Is this blade rust-proof?
It features an anti-corrosion finish for enhanced durability, but you should still keep the blade dry and oiled to prevent rust.
How often should I oil the blade?
Apply a small amount of blade oil before each use and periodically during long grooming sessions to maintain performance.
Troubleshooting
Blade is pulling the hair instead of cutting
Check if the blade is dull or if the teeth are clogged with debris. Ensure the blade is properly oiled.
Clipper motor sounds strained or blade is running hot
The blade may be misaligned or lacking lubrication. Apply clipper oil to the blade teeth and ensure the drive lever is properly seated.
Blade will not snap onto the clipper head
Ensure no hair is trapped in the clipper latch and confirm that your clipper uses the universal A5 snap-on system.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply ensure your clipper is switched off and align the blade mechanism with the A5-style drive lever before snapping it into the locked position. Compatibility includes the Aesculap FAV5 and standard A5 clippers from brands such as Andis, Oster, and Wahl. To maximize lifespan, clean hair from between the teeth after every use using a dedicated blade brush. Always apply a few drops of clipper oil to the teeth and the drive contact points before starting and at regular intervals during use to prevent friction and heat buildup. Store in a dry, cool environment to prevent moisture-induced corrosion.
