Product Care
Can I spray disinfectant directly onto my machines?
Avoid saturating your device with disinfectant spray, as it can seep into the internal components, damage circuit boards, and weaken shell materials. Instead, spray a cloth and gently wipe down the surface, or remove the blades and spray them separately.
How do I prevent rust on blades?
Always dry the blades completely after cleaning. Use a few drops of clipper oil regularly to prevent rust and keep blades sharp.
What’s the best way to clean hair buildup from my tools?
Use a small brush or compressed air to remove hair clippings. For tools marked as waterproof, rinse the blades carefully, but never submerge the entire device unless specified.
Why is my device overheating during use?
Overheating can result from clogged blades or dirty air vents. Clean the blades, oil them regularly, and make sure vents are free of dust. Let the device cool down if it becomes too hot.
Can I store my tools by wrapping the cord around them?
Avoid tightly wrapping cords around tools, as this can lead to cord damage over time. Store cords loosely or use a designated cord organizer.
How do I handle foil damage on a shaver?
Replace the foil immediately if you notice any warping or tears. Damaged foils can cause skin irritation or uneven performance.
What happens if I use my foil shaver on long hair?
Foil shavers are designed for stubble-length hair only. Using them on long hair can strain the motor and damage the foil. Trim longer hair to stubble length first.
Can I use household oils like WD-40 on my blades?
No, only use clipper-specific oil. Other oils can leave residues that affect performance or damage your blades.
What’s the risk of storing my tools in humid environments?
Humidity can lead to rust and internal damage. Always store your tools in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup.
Why is my clipper/trimmer motor getting weaker?
A weak motor can result from clogged blades, insufficient lubrication, or hair blocking the motor. Clean and oil the blades regularly, and check that the vents are clear of debris.
How often should I replace parts like blades or foils?
Replace blades and foils as needed, typically every 6-12 months, depending on usage. Worn parts can cause poor performance and skin irritation.
Can I use my tools for extended periods without breaks?
Prolonged use can cause overheating. Give your tools a break if they become too hot to the touch, and always ensure they’re clean and lubricated to reduce friction.
How do I maintain the air intake of my hair dryer?
Turn off and unplug the dryer, then clean the air intake filter with a brush or vacuum. This prevents overheating and improves airflow.
