I have the same problem. However, I think it also depends on the hair texture. The silkier they are, the worse the blade can handle. I will get a shorter blade next time.

Wish I could help, but I too, purchased a blade that would not cut. Lucky for me, that I bought two of them, the other cut just fine. But the one that didn't work, it was like it didn't have an edge on it. Perhaps it didn't. I tried and tried to use it, then finally gave up and put the other blade in and it cut through with ease, like a knife cutting through soft butter. I suggest you return that blade for another.

Hi,I have found that sometimes blades won't cut because there is too much oil on the blade, even with brand new blades. I use clipper wash to rinse them and then use the bare minimum of oil where the blades rub together, not all of the blade needs oiling as otherwise the oil goes onto the dogs coat and then the blades seem to grip instead of cut.

The answer is that the easy clip that comes with the 3 blades is NOT compatible with any other blades. That's why you need to go to the Jeffers Pet site and order those blades. They have a smaller foot than the regular blades you would buy in the open market. They will not fit the easy clip!

Ifi is the blades, it sounds like you guys used the blades on dirty hair. If not, then I don't kn ow, but these blades do not last long if used on dirty hair. They are meant to be used on clean hair. If it is the clipper itself, I would remove the blade first to see if it comes on, IF the clipper turns on without the blade, then the blade is locked, and needs to b e unjammed bu pushing on the cutting edge while the clipper is running. If this doesnt work then you need to contact Wahl. I am a groomer and own 7 of these clippers and have never had that happen.

It sounds like you need a blade adjustment. The cutting reel and stationary blade should be just short of making contact -see the manual for directions. Also there is a handle height adjustment.

I Agree with Lulu, Maybe you need to turn the Clipper speed up a little on the side of the Clipper. You could also check on YouTube To make sure are holding the Clipper correctly. I use these Clippers everyday. Best of luck to you.

First I must ask if you have ever groomed a dog? Second, if your dog is matted, a #10 or #7F are good blades to use. If your dog is badly matted, you first have to make a space for the blade to get between the matt and the skin being careful not to cut the dog. DO NOT bathe the dog before clipping as it will make the matts worse and the hair will take hours to dry. This will take a while to do because you have to be very careful. I would not use a ceramic blade, the non-ceramic blades are just as good. I hope I have been some help to you and please feel free to ask about anything that is not clear to you.

Yes, I did and it did not work and I try it on discharge and it did not cut that good . I finally took it out and install the old blade back and all my problems were solve.

I purchased my Andis clipper at Petsmart along with 3 additional blades. I'd be happy to give you my Andis clippers and all the new blades. Just pay postage. Dan

I could not get the Andis comb set #12860 to fit my AGC2. The combs attachment area is a good 3/8" too short for the #10 blade Do you have a different comb set, Granny C?

Loosen two screws on blade and adjust straight then tighten screws. Lots of helpful videos on YouTube about this clipper

Try several different size blade attachments. Mine worked fine. Hope that helps

Dear, Unfortunately yes, another issue is that the accessory for adjusting the fine trimming is not working also(design deficiency) which make it really useless trimmer. Regards,

I must have gotten a bad set of clippers since others had luck. Tried them on a Lhasa apso/shitzu mix and they barely cut any hair off of him. I've been grooming my dogs for 25 yrs and I consider these to be the worst clippers that I've ever had. Good luck

I have really thick hair and I just move the clipper slowly through my hair. I also don't allow it to grow two inches and then expect to single-pass it to an eighth inch length. However, I am on my second unit. (They're inexpensive.) The first one wore out and began not cutting cleanly, despite the measures I took. I don't like that I can't find replacement blades. I also don't like how choked the unit becomes with my hair, but that didn't really seem to change how it worked. It's *ok*. Don't expect perfection, but if you go slowly and cut hair a little at a time, you'll be fine.

This won't do that. I have the same problem. I trim and edge with the Andis. It cuts close, but not razor close. For the close shave, I have a Panasonic ES-LA63 Wet/Dry.

I actually had the same problems and I used them on myself. I made the huge mistake of "zero gapping" the blades I think straight out of the box they are crisp enough. And the problem with this is since the screws are so small they adjusted their self during cutting and often times I would leave scratches and marks. To combat this problem I ordered the t-wide blade for it for the blade adjustment screws are a little bit larger and the blades stay in line and finally I just left at factory without zeroing the blade . I did this and I haven't cut my self since I hope this helps

Not the one I bought! It was so LOUD that I couldn't get near my dog. She's used regular professional grooming and me trimming her in between appointments. The A5 2 speed I bought was loud on low speed and very loud on high. I was never able to use this clipper on my dog. I tried a few times a day to get her used to the noise by turning the clipper on. She ran and hid every time. I feel certain that this is an excellent clipper and recommend it to anyone whose dog is not bothered by noisy clippers. It is heavy because it's well built, with one of the best motors. The body of this clipper gets hot (maybe it was just the one I had). Not the one I bought!
