Clipper Maintenance

The clipper part referred to as the lever, blade drive, or swing arm is by far the most important part of any clipper. A worn out drive part can cause new and re-sharpened blades to seem dull. As a drive tip wears it actually shrinks in size and can cause the blade to cut poorly and leave lines in the coat. You may also notice that your blades will chatter or run noisy, which is another sign that the drive part needs attention. Be sure to change out the drive mechanism on a regular basis as needed.

This video demonstrates what to look for, how to access the blade part, and how to replace it on two of the most popular clipper types in the industry.

Get your drying equipment ready for the Holidays

Be prepared!  Make sure you are ready for the Holiday season.  Don't be caught during the rush with drying equipment failing due to poor maintenance.  Force dryers should have the carbon brushes checked twice a year for maximum performance and to prevent motor damage.  Stand and cage dryers should be cleaned to avoid hair build up on the heating coils.  Filters should be cleaned daily and/or replaced.  A regularly maintained dryer will run more efficiently, dry faster and use less electricity.

We've included this video to show how to perform these checks and replacements.  Don't delay!  Be ready for a successful and profitable Holiday season.
