Troubleshooting
Clipper not cutting line cleanly
Ensure the blades are free from debris. Rinse with fresh water and dry thoroughly. If the issue persists, the cutting edge may require professional sharpening or replacement.
Needle is difficult to deploy or retract
Check for any obstructions around the needle mechanism. Gently clean the area with a soft brush. Avoid forcing the needle, as this could cause damage.
Rust or corrosion spots appearing
Rinse the clipper immediately with fresh water and dry completely. For minor spots, a very light application of food-grade mineral oil on a cloth can help remove them. Ensure proper drying after every use.
