Ok dockey. I have had my Wahl "multi-cut" (Made in ILLINIOS) clippers since the mid 1980's I have cut many haircuts for my 2 wives, and my son and the 3 stepkids, as well asmy own and my Dad's hairr too. Now that I am older, with my 3rd partner I have cut her hair many times too, but today when I went to cut my beard and hair, the useless thing was leaving huge shafts of leng hair behind. I trued four times to shave my beard before I finally gave up in disgust. OK so I have NEVER cleaned it past a few flicks with the wee brush (long since departed my sight) and NEVER ever, have I been keen on pulling it apart, as parts & I don't go back together. Thus it was delightful to watch your video,showing me EXACTLY what to do. Now I do have all the differen screwdrivers, including the torx security with the wee hole in the middle. So I set too Nowhere near as difficult as your one, to pull apart as the mechanism is basic, no little spring in the head, etc etc, just the cutters and a tongue on the armature arm, for the sliding cutter. I AM ASSUMING, that now that I have liberally sprayed it with 5-56 CRC and used it's powerful jet gas, to blow away things, whilst the liquid was handy to loosen and wipe away with a paper towel, leaving theparts well lubricated. Now, to go back and finish my beard shave with the # 2 clip-on (I have the standard set's 1-4 clips, but bought a # 8 from the local barber a while ago, to "slice down" my partners very thick hair, to try and thin it, without removing too much and that worked a treat. Me? I'm an electrician by trade and a patented inventor of "gadgets" so the mechanics of cleaning and reassembly wasn't a problem . It is the doing things when I'm too retired that takes the time ;-)
I took my clipper apart and cleaned out the hair. When I put it back together, the cutters rattled and buzzed loudly but wouldn't cut. After trouble-shooting for more than 20 minutes, I came here to find out what was going on. I finally saw you put the spring back and I thought, 'Spring? What spring? Then, I looked in the bin next to me and saw a spring that had spung out while I was taking it apart. Five minutes later (and two zaps since I had the back off and the clipper still plugged in!) I had it back together and humming smoothly, ready for my next haircut. Thank you, sir!
I was about to buy another one... Just did the same thing on my clipper and working a lot better... Thanks for this video... Very Useful this kind of Stuff Saver me.some cash today 👍🏿💪🏿
Great vid, thx. I have a cheap Babyliss, almost identical procedure. I suggest a small amount of silicone grease on the rotating pin and lightly oil all moving parts. The rechargeable batteries are also easy replace when they stop holding charge. If you don’t have a compressed air gun just give it a good blow to get rid of the stuff the brush doesn’t reach.
Ideally you want a bit of oil on the plates that rub against each other. I did that on mine and there’s practically no noise when the run. Smooth as silk.
So I was at a hairdresser supplier and the old guy told me that if you buy the dog clippers by Wahl they’re exactly the same but just branded for pets. I still have them to this day and they were the best value for money for clippers! I have a newer set now but the old ones are still functioning perfectly. All Mains powered, easy to fix, simple design.
I use my Remington on myself only. I only take it apart at the 2 bottom screws to sharpen with a stone. Especially if it is starting to tug. I learned here about offsetting the teeth a millimeter or so.
Compressed air would make it easier to remove debris from the cavities. Even one of those keyboard cleaner cans. Submerging clippers that are plugged into an electrical outlet would not be good. I enjoy the channel. I have been cutting my hear for about 5 years now but have learned a lot from you.
There is no issue in submerging the blade in a wash. There's plenty of products made for just that and they all tell you to actually run the trimmers while submerged.
Cheers. Those springs got me a little, as I took the 1st piece of one of them went into the side hole. I heard one go and thought the other came OUT of the other whole in the side, so I when I was putting it together again I kept putting the springs into those holes which was hard and never sounded great after lol. Thanks to this I found out neither go into them and was doing it all wrong on that part. Stupid me.
Very helpful indeed, thank you. As a lover of accents I also get treated to some very lovely Scottish, thanks again. Who new, you google clipper maintennace and some music to your ears comes along with it.
Careful about the nut in with the level bolt goes,make sure you don't loose that,and skip the part in the beginning since you'll open it rinsing it is a bit redundant and expensive when the clippercide is £10 these days,also I'd use Andis it's exponentially better quality clippercide and lubricates more diminishing the noise aswell.other than that its a great video,thanks for your time to educate.
@@theoneminutebarber I just squirted my one with CRC 5-56 as that helpe "blow away what the missus hairdryer didn't", plus as a lubricant (it's very light machine oil) it can't be beat - considering the little tube of sewing machine oil, supplied by Wahl (leaked) and made itself empty after I opened it, thus for 38 - 40 years, OF HAVING NO LUBRICANT, anything is fine. Could have even used some Sunflower "cooking" oil (for all the difference that would make?)
Giving it ‘a bath’ in the beginning is not only redundant, given that you’re going to open it up anyway - it’s actually counterproductive. Once you’ve made all that hair on the inside wet and sticky, it’s harder to remove. If you skipped the bath, opened it up and blew out the dry hair with a compressed air spray, all the hair would come out much quicker and easier.
I just cleaned mine. Haven’t used it in 3 years. More of a decoration now. That sliding clip most certainly didn’t stop my moving blade from being flung at my nose 😂
I wasted so much $$ on new clippers these past few yrs from 2018 to 2023 on new babyliss,Gamma,SC,Cocco,Caliber,Oster and honestly I end up going back to whats works better and easier and even BETTER yes I said it Wahl makes better clipper now I do agree on using other trimmer for diff type of hair or beard but when its come to cutting hair I stick with wahl (Senior and Magic clip) its those blades that makes the cut easier and better plus the guard from wahl are 100% better than all those new brand that keep coming out
Great video. Forgot the lube. Light layer of high viscosity grease between the blades and a couple of drops of clipper oil right on the blades while clippers are running. The high viscosity grease will ensure the longevity of the clippers. Whenever the clippers start running hot, it's time to clean and lube.
I just bought a new Wahl Legend clipper set. I am going to get my 17 year old Wahl Super taper out and clean it and see how it goes. I bet hair was my problem
Please do this for all clippers? You could make a series! I would love to know how to fully disessemble and clean my xErgos as easily as you showed us.
Personally I would disassemble the ergo's and throw them straight in the bin. I had a set that lasted three months. The magnetic motor lost the power to move the blade. Messaged stylecraft about it, they weren't interested and quite patronising.
@The One Minute Barber is it possible to do a video for the BaByliss Lo-Pro FX? For both trimmer and clipper please 😇 I'm terrified to take them apart cos I don't want to ruin them 😭
Im on this video researching why when i reassemble the clippers they function fine however now do not cut the hair. Im now 3 clippers deep for repair. If anybody has any information that might be helpful very much appreciated ill continue to try things and research further. Thank you if youve read this and send any advice very much appreciated! Be sure to have an awesome day/night! Ty!
@@theoneminutebarber thank you for the reply! Wiw actually lol thats awesome. I found out on one i installed the springs into the holes took those out and the front plate was put on backwards so now it works like a charm! It wouldnt be fixed without this video so thank you truly! Youre awesome! Now to try to repair the other two. One i dont think is repairable because i think there are missing components now from being stored, i wasnt very gentle thinking that id never repair them lol but hung into them in case anyway. Idk when but one works now so that's awesome news for me! 😂 Youre 😎👍
@@theoneminutebarber I "did" mine after 38 years and goodness knows how many cuts, adjusting it to "rattle" and then backed off a 1/4 turn, until - oh dear no more adjustment and it still clogs and won't cut .. leaving strands all over the place. TIME TO CLEAN, was today (of all dys).. Came here to make sure I could reassemble, but actually mine does NOT have all those fiddly bits, it has the slider swipe tongue, fixed to the (extended) armature of the contactor, such that when the contactor "makes" and closes, it pulls the tip with the same front cutter as your one, to the side, and a HUGE spring inside the machine, near the fixed rear arm of the contactor, pushes it open again, with little limit switches inside, to ensure it flip-flaps side to side extremely fast. It's the hair that eventually builds up, leaving NO ROOM for the armature to "close" (or open fully), hence the zero cutting.. Also, even though I love inverting mine to close shave my chin, it too has about 1.5M that cannot be adjusted closer to the tip of the moving cutter, so I had tto fix the back plate there, although I now have a much tighter lever arm, which used to flop back and forth almost as fast as it cut side to side, meaning I put duct-tape on it long ago,to keep the base pushed BACK as far as poss.. Not any more,as that wee screw (on the side of the head for the lever) being half a turn tighter made all the differnce
You also forgot to mention putting the blade back on not to turn it into a motorized razor blade I’ve done that before trying to get zero gap there is a nice gash on my ear.
Not if you are going to take the blade off anyway. That said it takes time to do that so not ideal in the middle of a busy day, but it will decongest the blade in a rush.
I got some Wahl with a lever (not the senior but some other model), but whener I try to tighten the screws after aligning the blades, the blades misalign and then I get this super noisy rattling sound. My housemate came out of his room thinking someone rang the door when I tried lol
The rattling can be because the lever screw needs to be a little tighter. For the blade screws tighten them a little each. A little on one and a little on the other and so on until they are both tight.
@@theoneminutebarber Thanks Michael! Gave it a try and seems to be doing better. Also discovered that my model has a screw on the opposite side of the lever, which seems to somehow regulate the angle at which the inner blade moves with respect to the outter, fixed one (if that makes any sense). Fiddled with it a bit and I think I got the clipper back to a working state. Cheers!
Wow, that was so gross! I feel a little ashamed by how satisfying it was to watch ;) But also the most useful explanation I’ve found, and I’ve looked at a lot. I need to attempt to clean my bf’s poorly maintained clipper (not sure he’s allowed near the sharp things) and I anticipate some extreeeeeme grimness… Thank you for this video!
I got brand new hair clippers, used it once and disassembled it for cleaning after my haircut. When dissembling I noticed the blade sat flush without being pushed out however when reassembling the spring keeps pushing blade out. Any idea why this is happening?
you possibly haver the spring in the wrong way. But also you don't need to disassemble the clipper after every cut, maybe after about a month of cutting. Just use clippercide everytime.
Monthly would be ideal although I know people who would do this weekly. You just need to keep an eye on the performance of the machine and strip it down if it's not performing.
Bathing the unit is superfluous if you are going to take it apart and instead of prodding about get yourself a good air mains air duster and check the pressure of the armature will help.....re assemble set blades and oil well.
@@theoneminutebarber Hi and thanks for the reply I bet the compressor has saved you lots of work and time plus cleaner parts as hair get everywhere.....Cleaning and maintenance is always a good policy with most things. To really do a good job on them would be to hand sharpen the blades a specific way, then strip it down and get to the armature and set the tension on it because if too slack results in poor cutting performance plus dragging the hair....too much and he blades will heat up and may stop so it is important that you get it right this one thing will make all the difference to the unit. Regards Mick
That's great insight Mick, I'm not brave enough to sharpen the blades myself, I have tried once but the good thing with Wahl clippers is the blades are incredibly durable. I wish I could say the same for the dreadful stylecraft clippers I wasted my money on.
Whats the point of doing the "bath" if your going to take it apart anyway.. i feel like tou should unscrew it first clean it then dp the bath to get anything extra out
hey mate, i got an all metal set of wall clippers recently. unfortunately i accidentally washing the head under the tap. not for long but... do i need to take it apart and let it dry, or will it survive? I'm guessing it's not waterproof, and i don't do that again?
Your video inspired me, but the major problem i have is I'm an idiot so more than likely I'll be buying new clippers. I'm not technically inclined. Great video anyways!!
So while taking mu clippers apart I accidentally had a small plastic piece come out of the clippers and now I can’t find it , but will it work without ?

How often should this be done to the clippers?
Ideally I’d say once a month. I now use an air compressor and clippercide as a minimum. Blade off and decongested every three to four weeks.

To really do a good job on them would be to hand sharpen the blades a specific way, then strip it down and get to the armature and set the tension on it because if too slack results in poor cutting performance plus dragging the hair....too much and he blades will heat up and may stop so it is important that you get it right this one thing will make all the difference to the unit. Regards Mick
That's great insight Mick, I'm not brave enough to sharpen the blades myself, I have tried once but the good thing with Wahl clippers is the blades are incredibly durable.
I wish I could say the same for the dreadful stylecraft clippers I wasted my money on.
Much appreciated man
Hi thank u for ur video it helped a lot, but after i cleaned mine and pht it together i why my clippers become noisy 😩😩
This sometimes happens when the lever is loose
I always regrease the rotor pin when I do this.
That's a good idea. What do you use? I tend to use silicone grease.
My blade shifting while cutting now. I tried tightens them to the max but they still shift from one side. 😢
I wonder why that’s happening. It’s possible the springs are not sitting correctly on the top blade.
Besides the bath i have done this a fair few times and im nit joking ive been using the same clippers since 2001 paid AUD $15 for them back then
They don’t make them like they used to
@@theoneminutebarber true
Bro you need a air compressor to clean that.
That's a great shout. I really want one for the shop 👍
Or a pressure washer...😁
A can of compressed air also works great!
I've since bought an air compressor. Great investment
@The One Minute Barber Or a vacuum hose should do the job.
Best way is to clean them after every use not wait to become like this full hair inside
How often should you do this?
I would say once a month or more if you are extremely busy xxx
Whats the point of doing the "bath" if your going to take it apart anyway.. i feel like tou should unscrew it first clean it then dp the bath to get anything extra out
As you can see the clipper definitely needed to be disassembled however in some cases just the bath is sufficient
Life saver. Thx
Happy to help
Interesting accent, your ,,r" sounds hard, which part of the UK are you from?
North of Scotland
hey mate, i got an all metal set of wall clippers recently. unfortunately i accidentally washing the head under the tap. not for long but... do i need to take it apart and let it dry, or will it survive?
I'm guessing it's not waterproof, and i don't do that again?
It should survive. Just let it dry and oil the blade.
Very good for Men 👍👍👍👍
We got same machine
How often should I do this ??
Regularly maybe once a month
That was good
There was real good 👍
Awesome video!
Great video.. very informative
Your video inspired me, but the major problem i have is I'm an idiot so more than likely I'll be buying new clippers. I'm not technically inclined. Great video anyways!!
Thanks for the lesson bro
Thanks ❤❤
You're welcome 😊
Pretty helpful thanks
Glad it helped thank you 😊
So while taking mu clippers apart I accidentally had a small plastic piece come out of the clippers and now I can’t find it , but will it work without ?
You can only put them back together and see. Hopefully
@@theoneminutebarber thank you!
Same thing happened to me just now💀
