How To: Blade Maintenance

WITH LEAD EDUCATOR SAM CAMPAGNA

Sam Campagna provides some tips you need to follow every day for blade maintenance, to get the best out of your tools.

The benefit to looking after your clippers is that they will last longer, saving you money in the long term and ensuring you get the best cutting results.

OILING

I oil my blades at the start of every day, and on busy days, I’ll oil them 2-3 more times when they’re heavily used. At the end of the day, after I’ve cleaned the clippers, I oil the top and side of the blades to allow the oil to properly soak in overnight. Oiling regularly helps to keep the blades at optimum sharpness, so you won’t need to replace your blades so often.
