Be sure to prep your pet’s coat by bathing, drying and inspecting their skin for any signs of cuts or lumps. When clipping pull the skin tight to create a flat surface for smooth strokes. And remember to ALWAYS oil your blades before and during grooming sessions to extend the life of the blade and prevent heat buildup.
Brushes are generally good for up to 200 hours of use. It will be noticeable in clipper performance when it is time to change the brushes. Generally, clippers will begin to slow down, run roughly, and then stop working.
Only clippers with a universal motor require greasing - for example, the Classic 76, Model 10 or Turbo 111. In order to grease the clipper, remove the front cover plate (nameplate) to access to the gear box. This will allow you to determine if the clipper needs to be greased. If clipper does need grease, use about 1/2 teaspoon. Fill the gear box with the grease. Make sure the grease covers the gears. Most of our products come packed with a grease tube.
Over time the socket on your blades may have become damaged. Check the "wings" on your blade socket to see if they may be bent outward or broken.
With the clipper facing you, place the pad of your thumb on the blade and swiftly push the top of the blade away from the clipper. This will make the blade '"tongue" or "blade assembly" open and you can slide the blade off. off the "tongue" and replace the new blade on the "tongue". With the "tongue" open, turn clipper on and then push the blade towards the clipper (shut), this will ensure the proper engagement of the blade on the driving tip.
First, ensure that the rectangular metal "tongue" or blade hinge assembly is in standing position or open. If it is closed, insert a flat head screwdriver under the tongue and applying enough force, push the hinge back to standing position. Once this is complete, slide the blade on the tongue, turn your clipper on and push the blade down and snap the hinge assembly closed.

Don’t know if Chewy got stuck with some bad clippers but the first pair I had issues immediately with the blade release. They sent me another pair. Went to use them and motor is loud and sounds like it loose in the body. Chewy states they won’t replace because the original pair is just over ago. Replacement 2 months ago. 140.00 dollars out the window. I have owned oysters for years and the first time this has happened. Disappointed in chewy. I understand their point but I’m a good customer.
I bought these clippers in the mid 1980's, and they are still working today. Highly recommend them. I am going to buy a new set as unfortunately the power cords is starting to crack just from age. These clippers really are good. I have used them on my horses forever!
I have never had a pair last for more than 3 years and that is with occasion use. They simply don't hold up.
These clippers buzzed through some matted areas on my cats back legs. Not loud at all to operate and didn't get hot.
I have one Golden Doodle, and have used this clippers maybe 6 times. The motor is dying and it no longer works well. I will need to order a new one this year.
I have used the Oster pet clippers for over 30 years. The last one gave out after 20 years of use, I stopped grooming 10 years ago. Because I still have a cat to groom every summer I'll have to buy another pair...
I groom my own dogs and a few friends dogs. These clipper are horrible. They didnt hold up with just my personal grooming dogs which mostly are australian shepherds but i also have a shih tzu and a cavachon. They have done terrible. The screws under the clipper blades are continually coming loose when i am grooming. They have a bad motor already and I have barely had them a year if that. I am currently replacing them and it wont be another oster brand sadly because of the poor quality and now i will have to buy blades for a different clipper. BIG waste of money
