How Do You Sharpen Andis Trimmers?
Learning how to properly care for your Andis trimmers can help you extend their life. If you use them daily, they’ll last about 1 year with proper maintenance. If you use them less frequently, plan on having them about 3 or 4 years. If you’ve been cleaning and lubricating your Andis trimmers between uses, but you’re finding they don’t cut as well, then it may be time to sharpen them.

This will make it less likely that you’ll drop or mishandle them while attempting to sharpen them. Take off all the blades, then put back the moving blade alone onto the trimmer tension spring. Now, put the moving blade on the medium face of the sharpener. If the blade is extremely dull, use the coarse side of the sharpener. Plug in and turn on the trimmer. Hold the moving blade on the sharpener while applying light pressure. Slowly move it up
