Andis Blade Guide
*Snap-on Comb must be over
#40 blade.
"or" (ex. #10 or #15) -
Select the blade according to how long you want to leave the coat.
"&" (ex. #7 & #7FC) - Use
the "skip tooth" (i.e. #7) blade before bathing and the "finish cut" (i.e.
#7FC) blade after bathing to complete the cut.
"to"
(ex. #7 & #7FC to #3-3/4 & #3-3/4FC) - Select the blade according to the
size of the dog and the length you want to leave.
Blade cutting lengths listed
are against natural lie of the coat. Cutting with
lie of the coat leaves hair one size longer (ex. #7 cut with lie of the
coat = length of #5). All suggested body blades should be used with
the lie of the coat.
Andis AG blades will fit on
the Andis model AG, AG-2, AGR and MBG Clippers and Oster A5 Clipper.
DO NOT use skip tooth blades
on cats. Keep skin taut when clipping dogs and cats.
