How often should the blades be oiled in relation to running time? For example a drop of oil for every hour used, etc.

my sister was a cosmetologist and she said to brush after every use, and oil once a week assuming normal use every couple of days. . .

Hi Jordan - if you use this unit every day the instructions say to put one drop of oil on the tips of the blades while the unit is running and to hold the unit downward. It says oil should be used at least once a day. It doesn't say anything about oil application after so many hours of run time. Hope this helps. Have a Great Day.

I never had to replace my battery in ten years of use. I would use it four or five times before charging. I believe it might be a chore to replace, if you have not done it before. If you will oil the blade every other use, it will stay sharp. I decided to just by a new razor instead of a replacement battery was a better option.

I oil it after OR before every use. Mostly I use WD40 spray. About 1-2x/month I will use 3in1 oil after a "cleaning" (detailed wipe down). Seems to be working just fine.

You should use 90% and no less, alcohol to clean the oil and dirt off and then lubricate with 2 drops per bearing. This should be done probably once a month or when you get water on them.

In order to add or pour out oil or other ingredients you have to lift the whole top part. You cannot add oil while the blades are in motion....

Did you try oiling the blade. But besides that I think it's a norm. If you have any problems email me thanks

No you cant leave it running 100% of the time its not meant for oil use. The Machine will give out if you leave it running for to long....Cycles are 5 min, 10 min, 20 min & 30 min cycles.

You should buy a cleaning kit and watch the video on YouTube on how to clean it. Very informative! The cleaning kit should be around $12 through Amazon. Good luck! And yes keep it oily all the time (perhaps not as much as came in the box) and try to keep your fingers off the blade.

As a habit I would oil the blades lightly after every use. This is simply a disinfectant

Its recommended to oil the blades before use. This oils it as well so no but you have to oil it before the next usage.

I haven't had to oil it yet and don't imagine that I will for awhile. I think after about a year with my last one, I hit the blades with some mineral oil. It's never a bad idea. This white boy is still perfectly happy with this "ethnic" groomer.

Hi Alice, a minimum of 10 drops and maximum of about 30. It really depends on how long you want to use it and at what power level. If you run it on high power, you will need more oil for sure.

We use these extensively in our grape vineyard. We are making thousands of cuts everyday. I use a couple of drops of 3-1 oil and lightly file mine every two days.

I run a ball though for 1-1 1/2 hour and wipe it off. If there is a lot of oil, repeat.

there's been times where I've used water but water doesn't have the viscosity needed for a smooth glide on a whetstone. plus using oil instead of water will keep certain blades in better condition

According to the leaflet that came with the unit: "About once a month you should oil the trimmer blades. It is best to do this over a piece of newspaper." etc. However, no little oil dropper came with the trimmer, and I have not done so yet (after 6 months of occasional use)
