Nothing in the instructions that comes with this trimmer mention using any oil to lube the blade...If it is not called for by the manufacturer it probably is not needed..However...after repeated use some tree`s or bush`s might leave a sticky residue on the blade that could slow down the operation of this trimmer...it might be a good idea to spray a little WD40 on the blade....WD40 is a light oil that will not build up on the blade ....

I don't have any issue wiping the oil..I just use a paper towel along with a small brush to clean the hair and once a month I unscrew the blade to clean from inside since lot of hair get stuck in there. But do oil it after every use.

I took the blade off to clean it. Be advised the blade is very sharp. Watch how u handle it.

A small tube of oil comes with the blade. Its enough to keep your blades oiled, until you buy some from a beauty supply store for $2.

It is possible not to use oil because the spray cools the blades whether you use the oil or not, but the oil creates a cushion between the blades, prolonging blade life and potentially keeping them cooler longer.

Sometimes you get a bad blade from the factory. I have been using my father's blades and I think the older ones were made better.Which blade is giving you this problem? Is it one blade or many?Keeping the blade clean is important and don't over oil them.Hope this helps

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.

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.

I use Andis Cool Care Plus and oil the blades before the next use. You cannot use water to clean clippers.

You should not use oil with this type of sharpener.The youtube website has a few good videos on this sharpener.

The cutter is installed on the motor shaft from the factory and it includes a food grade lubricant to ensure you may remove and clean after use. So yes, the blade assembly is mounted by the factory and oiled. No concern over the oil as it is food grade for use in that environment.

Use brush (I use tooth brush) to clean and spray with Andis aerosol cleaner before oiling.

I treated mine 3 times before I ever used it. Then after use, wipe it off and put on another light coat of oil.

It's a carbon steel blade. In general it's a good idea to clean and oil *any* carbon steel blade after use.

No you don't as you have just purchased it. When it's time to clean it after it's first use then you oil it. The oil is bought separately. I recommend that you purchase the maintenance kit and this will have oil included, as for now you don't have to oil it at first installation.
