CHARGING TRIMMER: This battery charger is intended for use with Andis model BTF3 lithium-ion battery with a rated capacity of 3.7V—2.8 Wh. Remove the trimmer and AC adapter from the carton. Plug the adapter into a 230V AC outlet, or according to your local power standars. Note that the trimmer ON/OFF switch must be in the OFF position for the battery to charge. Plug the adapter cord directly into the trimmer. The green light on the trimmer will turn on. The trimmer has not been charged at the factory. Please charge the trimmer for 2 hours before the first use for macimum performance. You can keep the trimmer plugged into the adapter when not in use. The adapter will maintain the battery at full charge and the green light will stay on. However, we recommend that the adapter be unplugged if the trimmer won't be used for seven or more daus.

FAILURE TO CHARGE
1. Make sure voltage is present at the wall outlet (confirm with an appliance you know is working).
2. Check to make sure adpater cord is plugged firmly into trimmer. Twist the adapter connector slightly to insure good electrical connection. If failure to charge still exists, return trimmer to Andis or an Andis Authorized Service Station for examination and repair or replacement.

USE WITH ADAPTER CORD If the trimmer powers OFF in the middle of a trimming job, the power cord can be attached to continue use in corded operation. When the trimmer is running with the power cord attached, the green light will remain off, even if the battery is partially or fully discharged. The trimmer will not charge while in use with the cord attached.

USING ATTACHMENT COMBS Your trimmer comes complete with 6 attachment combs 1/2", 3/8", 1/4", 7 day, 5 day and a 3 day for even closer trimming. To use, slide front of attachment comb over the teeth of the blade. Snap comb down over back of blade.

BLADES When trimming is complete, slide ON/OFF switch to OFF position and remove the attachment comb (if being used). Lightly brush out blades with the blade cleaning brush provided. For best results put a drop of Andis Clipper Oil on the blade when necessary. Motor bearings are permanently lubricated-do not attempt to oil. Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to cut dirty or abrasive material. Do not use while bathing or in the shower, as damage to battery and product may occur.

USER MAINTENANCE
Cleaning and user maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
The internal mechanism of your trimmer has been permanently lubricated at the factory. Other than the recommended maintenance descrubed in this manual, no other maintenance should be performed, except by Andis Company or an Andis Authorized Service Station.

CARE AND SERVICING OF YOUR ANDIS TRIMMER BLADES (Trimmer shown in figures may vary from the one that you have)
THe blades should be oiled before, during, and after use. If your trimmer blades leave streaks or slow down, it's a sure sign that the blades need oil. The trimmer shoul dbe held in the position to prevent oil from getting into the motor. Place a few drops of Andis CLipper Oil on the front and side of the cutter blades. Wipe exvess oil off the blades with a soft dry cloth. Spray lubricants contain insufficient oil for good lubrication, but are an excellent trimmer coolant. Always replace broken or nicked blades to prevent injury. You can clean the excess hair from your blades by using a small brush or old toothbrush. To clean the blades we suggest immersing the bldes only into a shallow pan of Andis Clipper Oil, while the trimmer is running. Any excess hair and dirt that has accumulated between the blades should come out. After cleaning, turn your trimmer off, dry the blades with a dry cloth and start clipping or trimming again.

USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your trimmer does not develop a "memory effect" like a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You can return the clipper to the charger at any time for a full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is complete. Like most rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when used frequently.
2. For maximum battery liefe, store the clipper in a partially discharged condition if the unit will be unused for several months. To discharged the battery, run the clipper until it automaticall shuts off.
3. Avoid locating the clipper near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Optimum charging will result where the temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery receiving less than a full charge.
4. Many factors influence lithium-ion battery liefe. A battery that has received heavy use or is more than a year old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
5. New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a full charge. This is normal and does not indicate a problem with the battery or charger. The battery will accept a full charge after several cycles of trimmer use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the trimmer from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are anticipated.

ATTENTION: The product you have purchased contains a rechargeable battery. The battery is recyclable. Please dispose of this battery in a responsible manner. Check with your local solid waste officials for the details in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
