Great video! Thank you. I found the cutting blade replacement especially helpful. I was struggling with getting the cutting blade on and was second guessing myself but your video helped immensely. The alignment portion was a great tip too. I’m back up and running now. Great content!
Thank you so much! You just saved me from buying a new clipper. Mine stopped cutting after I traveled with them in my luggage. I can't thank you enough. They work better than they have in a long time! You're my hero 😁
Brad Im Willy from Tampa Fl... I've spoken to Jason many times. Im going to come take a class soon as I can.. I've been trying to get out there for over a year. Any way I think you are doing a great job engaging the public with new videos. Ive known about you all for a very long time but not many people I know. I wish you great success as always...
Why mine sometimes make noise when I turn it on if is to one side? And if I press the lever the noise stops? But the lever is to tight. What can I do to fix that noise? Should I lose the lever a little bit? And I noticed that the cutting blade is not straight. Is like you say is going down to the left side, Is to difficult to fixed? What can I do, just remove the blades and put it the way you explain it?
Thanks for the awesome video! A year into using my Andis Master, the cutting piece seems to be misaligned (watching this now, it might actually be the comb that is misaligned). I'm going to take it apart and try what you've demonstrated and hopefully I can get it back to normal. Thanks!
@@TheEdgePro it took a hr or so bf I broke down and place away my pride! Who would’ve thgt that it had to be pull over the holder and space apart?!? Any time I’ve changed other ones, I’d just clipped it on
I have a pair of fade masters ..I used them once and then they just stopped working..they dont even turn on was wondering if you could help me ....thank you in advance
Hey Brandon my forks are straight but they are on more to one side. Not sure how to place them back in the middle. The clippers cut but the blades are more to the right
i have the same problem, is there any solution to straighten the cutting blade. I know you said they won't be exactly even but mine are obviously slanted hard to one side @TheEdgePro
They corrected on its own but I think it has something to do with the outlet it’s plugged in. And adjusting in the outside. But I heard lower outlets throws it off
I've been cutting my own hair for years. I've had these exact clippers for about 5 years. I'd take them apart periodically to do a good cleaning and would guess as to how to align it all back up. Well no surprise they haven't cut that great in a while. So after this mornings hair cut I went on RUclips and watched several bad videos till I found this one. I went out in the garage and made the adjustments. Not only do they sound better while running, it cuts the hair on my arm better than when they were new. Now I can't wait for my hair to grow out enough to give them a try. Thanks for the great helpful video.
At 0:44 what is the name of that part with the two black screws above the motor? Those two black screws are holding two forks... One of my forks broke and I'm trying to figure out what it's called so I can replace it with a new part. Can anyone tell me???
@@TheEdgePro Actually just the top part with the two screws and fork/teeth. But if I can't find it separately I'll have to go with that link. Thank you so much brother!

Is there an alignment tool for andis master adjustable clipper ? I always have to play around with setting (at 000 setting) and would like a tool that keeps blade stable while doing so . Not interested in zero gap set .
Hi Dennis! There are several things that we would want to look at. Where you are plugged in at your workstation can affect this as the voltage can change at different outlets which can change the power of the tool. You would have to reset the power screw for proper operation. Second option would include rechecking the blade tension and then resetting the power screw. Before any of these options, we have to make sure that the blade has been cleaned and oiled correctly. Cleaning will include a solvent blade cleaner of some sort such as Andis Cool Care to rinse out any of the foreign material which can make the blade drag. Adding the proper blade oil to both the front and back rail of the cutter is the next step. You can never make any of the other adjustments if you have not cleaned and oiled the blade.
Hi Rodney! The traditional method to achieve a zero gap is this: while holding the blade with the cutter toward the ceiling, push the whole blade against the flat edge of a counter or cabinet, keeping pressure on both the comb and cutter while pushing. This is going to achieve a matched comb/cutter, but we need to have a small reveal for safety. We achieve this by tipping the blade up at the back so the slope of the cutter teeth will slightly force the cutter backward (the higher you tip, the further it will push the cutter). Then you will hold it together and tighten the screws. You will want to double check that nothing shifted while tightening!
Thank you for your video. I am having an issue. I lost power with my andis masters and I can’t get them to cut anymore. They make noise still, and in able to adjust tension, but they stopped cutting. It’s as if it’s not using the blade. Any tips? Thank you
We typically start by re-setting the tension one more time, backing off the tension screw half to a full turn, then pulling up on the arm on the front of the clipper like we show in the video. Just make sure that the arm is seated against the adjustment screw. Then we turn the adjustment screw back clockwise to set the height of the arm, which is adjusting the tension. It should be approximately 1/16" down to 1/32" above the field surface. This is a factory setting as long as the fork itself has not been bent. If someone has altered the spring, none of the settings will work as the factory meant them to be. After double checking the tension adjustment, we would go back to the power screw and try to reset the stroke. This is all assuming your field coil is not damaged. To check the foil coil, look at the plastic sleeve that the windings are wrapped in. Make sure that it is fully seated back against the steel core. This repair is also shown in one of the videos in this series. From there, if you are still not getting proper power and stroke, there is the possibility the field has gotten weak and it's not creating enough magnetic power. This would require a replacement of the field.
Nice video man my Machine still works nice but the only problem is that the side gear gear changer stick is loose and if I put it to the middle it will either go all open or all closed it won’t stay in the middle when I’m trying to fade?
It probably has to do with the blade pad being too loose. The four small screws under the blade should help you out there. If you have any troubles or just need a fresh tune up and/or blade sharpening don't hesitate to send them up and we would be happy to help.
THe blade screws are a #2 Philips. If another size bit or a worn screwdriver is used they will roll off the shoulders of the screw and make it difficult to get tight. IF this is the case new blade screws and a good screwdriver will help this out.
The first thing i would look at is the blade mounting fork. Use a standard screwdriver to spread the two sides of the fork further apart, allowing for a tighter connection to the plastic driver on the cutter. When those two legs of the fork are pinched in, the entire cutter can sit crooked along with swing in an arch when turned on.
@@TheEdgePro I just got a new set of the andis masters. I turned them on and adjusted the power per the manual. The guard went sideways as I was doing this and I didn’t notice but even the bracket the holds the board shifted left as well. Do you know what took and size I need to take the screws off holding the tensioner bracket and why it did this ? Thank you!!

What’s easier to zero gap wahl or andis?
We do the majority of our zero sets by eye because we customize the set to the touch of the customer to give them the best results from their tool.
So helpful, thanks for the quality video!

My forks are sitting too far to the side and I can’t get them centered. Please help!
Very helpful. Covered alignment info not found on other videos
You’re amazing thanks for tips
Nice info, thank s
You’re welcome! Thanks for tuning in.
I find that clipper performance varies depending on the amount of blade set back. Do you have a recommendation?
Thank you so much for this video, now i know how to fix myself . 👍🏼🇺🇲
My Andis is still loud I've readjusted every component. I wanted them to be whispery quiet.

Th metal piece with the two forks is leaning to the side on mine...
GnSt4vo it won’t necessarily always be straight. It will be set to balance with the comb blade to allow for the most possible stroke.

Just a quick question - those screws on the blade don’t seem to get very tight.
Is that normal?
THe blade screws are a #2 Philips. If another size bit or a worn screwdriver is used they will roll off the shoulders of the screw and make it difficult to get tight. IF this is the case new blade screws and a good screwdriver will help this out.
