Do you have to oil the blades?

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)

I squeeze the two tabs and remove the blade head then brush the hair off. You can wash the blade, but recommend using a drop of machine oil on the moving parts after each use.

Came with 1 standard blade and several comb sizes (I do not use the combs). Never have oiled mine, so I do not know. Depending on the hair, you might need a blade that is more durable (for thicker coats).

The instructions that came suggest lightly oiling them. I use a paper towel dipped in vegetable oil and just swirl it in each cup.

yes Cindy. All swords of this kind need to be oiled every few months depending on your climate. It comes heavily oiled, but good sword care requires oiling.

The oil is used to lubricate the foil heads - should you notice the blades beginning to jam or stick, you'll need to oil them. I have yet to oil my razor, as the blades have shown no sign of sticking or jamming, but the oil is there if you need it.

They were saying to oil the blades, if you have a reduces blade friction optimizing shredder perforfmance then oil it. The best thing to use is a Shredder lubricant sheet, that is what I use the oil is in the sheet and all you have to do is shred the sheet

No, you need to oil your weapon before application and after you peel it off

I just bought extra blades but I have cleaned and sharpened them before. Hope this helps.

No lubrication necessary, this includes the wheels since they have plastic bearings. Note: Recommend before first use you spray Pam on the underside of deck around the blade. Will make it easier to keep the area clean.

I don't see why not. There are some with the opinion that you should not use anything. Just dry hone the blade. However, once you use oil, they say you need to continue using oil. Hope this helps.

Not at all. It is very easy to clean. But clean the blades carefully as they are very sharp.

No. I oiled them first with with a real light oil such as 3n1, and they never stopped ever!

This product will lubricate the clipper blades and prevent rust from forming; therefore, you do not need the oil.

No...proper maintenance would be just to oil them and to brush excess hair from the blades.
