ATTACHING AND CHANGING BLADES:
Select desired A-5 blade or equivalent and set directly on open hinge. The hinge should slide into the
slot at the bottom of the blade. If hinge has snapped closed without the blade, use a flat blade
screwdriver to open then attach blade. ( g. 4) With clipper running on low
speed, snap blade down against clipper housing to engage blade. To remove
g. 4
blade, press up on blade release with thumb and pull blade back to
disengage. ( g. 5)
Lubricant: It is essential to use a proper lubricant on your blades to insure long
reliable service and smooth professional results. We recommend a Teflon based
lubricant purchased at your local hardware store. Lubricate the blade often during
clipping by turning the blade to the side and lubricating at the points where the two
blade parts make contact. Lubricate sparingly and wipe away any excess.
NOTICE: Be careful not to let excess lubricant run down into the clipper handpiece as it
could damage the clipper bearings. Please note: lubricant and blade wash are not the
same. A lubricant allows the blades to operate smoothly and reduces friction to delay blade heat-up.
Blade wash or coolant simply cleans and cools hot
blades, but provides very little, if any lubrication.
All blades will eventually get hot during use. Therefore,
we suggest that you rotate several sets of blades
allowing the hot blades to soak in a coolant or blade
wash until cool while continuing to clip with fresh, cool
blades. Always lubricate before re-use. (For blades that
heat-up very quickly, see section on Blade Tension)
Please read the section on BLADE MAINTENANCE
below before using clipper.
BLADE MAINTENANCE:
Using new blades - Some new blades are coated with a sticky lm to protect the blades from moisture
during shipping and storage. This coating must be removed before the rst use by soaking the blade in
blade wash or similar solvent. After removal of the coating, wipe dry with paper towel and lubricate
proper points. (see section on lubricant under operation).
Blade Tension ( g 6)
- It is important to maintain proper blade tension to guard against excessive
heat build-up in the blades during use. To check for proper tension, hold the blade so the spring clip
faces you. Using both thumbs (and with blade clean and lubricated) slide the cutter back and forth.
You should be able to move the cutter without a lot of e ort. If the cutter is very tight and di cult to
move, the blades will heat up prematurely, and the tension should be loosened. However, if the cutter
moves too freely, hair and debris could become jammed between blade parts, causing the blades to
stop cutting suddenly. Tighten tension as described herein. Please note that the screws holding the
spring clip in place should always be tight and are not a means of adjusting tension.
To Loosen Blade Tension - Insert a flat blade screwdriver under one side of spring clip (the clip that
holds the two blade components together) and twist the screwdriver so as to pry the clip up slightly.
Repeat on other side of spring clip. Re-check tension using testing method above.
To Tighten Blade Tension - Blades
must be disassembled by removing
the two screws holding the spring clip
in place. Take a pair of pliers and
gently grasp the very bottom of the
spring clip. Squeeze gently. Repeat on
other side of spring clip. Re-assemble
blade and re-check tension using
testing method above.
Any maintenance not explained in this manual should be performed by Double K Industries or an
authorized service center. Call Double K Industries for the name of the service center nearest you.
All warranty service MUST be performed by an authorized service center to protect warranty status.

LEVER REPLACEMENT
To replace the lever: Remove screws in the clipper faceplate; remove old lever and install new lever on
the post. Be sure to place a small amount of all-purpose grease on the lever post and in the back of the
notched groove of the lever before installing. Replace faceplate and tighten faceplate screws securely.
1. Check the clipper latch: Remove blade and inspect the latch hook (the latch is the small black
metal component located beneath the hinge which is pushed by the thumb when removing and
installing blades). The upper end of the latch has a small hook. By turning the clipper to the side and
examining the top of the latch, a small "C" shaped hook should be seen. If the hook is broken the latch
should be replaced. To Replace the Latch: Loosen the two screws holding the latch and hinge assem-
bly in place. Remove the latch and hinge assembly. Remove broken latch up and away from hinge and
release small spring hooks holding the components together. Place the spring hooks on the hinge into
the holes of the new latch and push the new latch into the proper position on the hinge. Re-install latch
and hinge assembly on the clipper handpiece using removable "loctite" on screw threads.
2. Check metal hinge stabilizers on the blade. With the blade removed from the clipper handpiece,
hold the blade in hand with the moving portion of the blade (the cutter) facing you. Observe the metal
spring clip which holds the cutter to the stationary portion of the blade (the comb). The spring clip has
two metal protrusions attached to either side of the cut-out mid-section ( g. 2) which stabilizes the
blade to the latch and hinge assembly during use. If these protrusions are too far apart, the blade is not
stable during clipping and therefore will clatter during use.
PROBLEM: BLADES HEAT UP TOO QUICKLY:
Note: The 401 Power Clipper operates with a blade speed and range of motion that
enables it to clip more e ectively than any clipper in its category. This does, however, cause
the blade to heat up faster than other clippers when operated at higher speed settings.
Consequently, when using the highest speed settings, the blades should be rotated or
sprayed with coolant more frequently.
Valuable techniques for reducing blade heat:
1. Turn down the speed. If blades are heating up too quickly, use a lower speed setting. The Power Clipper is still very
e ective at lower speeds due to the greater range of blade motion and motor power.
2. Wash blades in blade wash to remove dirt or debris. *NOTE: Some new blades come with a sticky protective
coating, which must be removed before use. Soak new blades in blade wash or similar solvent, then dry, and apply
with pliers
proper lubricant. Blades will get hot and must be rotated or cooled with coolant.
3. Use proper lubrication. Your blades are operating at higher speeds than other clippers and need a superior
lubricant. We recommend a Teflon-based lubricant like Tri-Flow from your hardware store, gun and tackle shop
or bicycle shop. Lubricant should be applied at the sides of the blades where the two blade rails rub together, not
in the teeth which could cause dirt and hair to clog the blade.
4. Check blade tension: The comb and cutter portions of the blade should slide back and forth across each other
rmly but freely. If tension is too tight, blades will overheat rapidly. If tension is too loose, blades will quit clipping
suddenly and drag, as hair and dirt will jam in between the comb and the cutter. To adjust tension, see section
on "Blade Tension" under "Blade Maintenance."
To Stabilize Blade: Take a pair of pliers and squeeze together slightly the
metal protrusions on the blade spring clip. Test blade on clipper handpiece
to see if blade runs quietly. If blade is still noisy, remove blade and squeeze
the metal protrusions again.
*NOTE: If stabilizers are squeezed together too closely,
the blade will not seat properly on the clipper
handpiece in which case they will need to be spread
apart slightly.
