I watched a dozen videos today looking for guidance in adjusting my blade. Not just the "zero gap" or close to it in and out, but from side to side. This video was absolutely the clearest one, clearest confident narration, best closeup focus and angles. The entire production is totally professional. Thanks!

thank you very much At first i thought my clipper was broken but after seeing your video I found out that it's normal that the cutting blade is shifting to the left

Best explanation of blade movement I've seen and heard. Thank you. I'm about to install and adjust new blades. Glad I found this video first.

This was the best explanation I've seen. There are plenty of "zero gap" and "how to change blades" videos, but nothing explaining why the blades are offset right out of the box. In fact, I just bought a pair of Magic Clips (thinking that my old pair were broken) and when they arrived I assumed they were broken as well because I couldn't get the blades to line up on these either. But thanks to this video, I now know that I have 2 perfectly fine set of clippers✌🏾 -Much appreciated!

Wow, thank you so much for explaining this. I had no idea how to use the guards until I saw this video. You gave such a detailed step by step guidance on how to use each guard and what the lever was for. This made a huge difference for me

The hours I’ve spent trying to set my blades as I can see 1 side is closer than the other. Was thinking it was a faulty clipper/trimmer. Thank you so much for this video.

That's how most magnetic clippers are. I've also spent a ton of time adjusting clippers so I know how you feel. No problem brother thanks for watching. 👍

adam lee hadfield I’ve had different experience with my seniors brother. When the blades aren’t parallel, the problem often is that you’ve likely tighten one screw too much before the lower/higher side is parallel. My solution: Gradually tighten one side and carefully adjust the still blade to parallel, otherwise, you’ll move your adjustment thus making the opposite side become misaligned. The bottom line is to tighten the screws slowly and look to make sure the blades are even BEFORE the screws are fully tightened. I’ve never heard of the blades which are designed to move parallel move in an arc motion. 🤔

I am already subbed to so many channels but I just want to thank you anyway for this video. Most helpful and informative.

Ahhhh!! This is great. My wife cuts our hair and wanted to buy new clippers cause ours got real grabby. This video was real helpful! Our issues was when the lever is pulled down there wasn’t enough of the cutting blade exposed.

Hey man your videos really helped me out please do more.

Good video. Very onformative and good explanation of the mechanics. Good job

Great demonstration. Thanks!

You put out some great 👍 KZread videos for us to learn a thing or 2 thanks keep it up and the videos

Just solved my issue! Thanks for the informative video! 👍

Nice video and explanation! Thanks.

Awesome video. Thank you so much. Is it the same for Cordless Seniors?

Very informative; appreciated!

Phenomenal video! Thank you!

very informative; i like your style

very informative video! 👌🏾

The important thing to remember is that furthest left teeth of the front moving blade should also line up dead center with the back blade's teeth. The right side of the blade is the side that normally goes up higher and the left side lower.

Or you can along the comb blade a lil farther to the left. So when they on the cutter blade is dead spot center with the comb blade.

Do I have to do it for my cordless seniors as well? Cordless seniors have rotary motor. Corded is electromagnetic? Thanks!

I did that now my screw are stripped my clipper make a bad sound when i opening the lever

My cutting blade isn’t centered is that something that deals with the tension?

@acebarber8891

Set the tension first, then center/adjust the blade and you shouldn't have that problem. Set the tension by backing off the screw, when it make a noise, screw it back it slowly until it stops (a little more if it continues).

Excellent video Sir! My clippers (Wahl Precision Cut) makes this loud sound as shown here. And when I turn it counter clockwise the sound barely reduces. What do I do now?

I notice that my blades shift from left to right when i turn the machine on. Is it supposed to be this way or am I doing something wrong?

When the lever is closed mine is zero gapped, but when I open the level it doesn’t look straight. Please help

Hi man my wahl seniors the blades aligned straight when the lever is closed but when I open the lever the alignment is wonkey. So straight when closed wonkey when open and dips down on the left way more. Is this a sign they are faulty ?

The still blade should not move after tightening the two screws that holds it.

No it can be straight.

When I do align the extreme left tooth of the front blade to the back blade and I turn it on, as soon as i turn it off its in a different position. How would I really know if my wahl seniors are perfectly aligned? Should I adjust the front blade first right in the middle?

@everettwhite9874

Lost Boyz Sounds like you don’t have the correct screw, the screw may be stripped, or you’re not tightening the screw enough. The correct alignment for you is pretty much based on your “touch” or how much pressure you use when cutting close to the skin as an example. The most important thing to always be aware of is not to extend the moving blade beyond the still blade. An effective way to learn that lesson is after setting the blades turn the clippers on an tough your forehead with them. If that feels uncomfortable to you your clients will be uncomfortable too.

Is it the same with wahl cordless magic clipper

@acebarber8891

No. It is similar but, this clipper has a different motor so it moves the blade differently. The cordless clippers are a little easier to adjust.

You didn’t address the horizontal alignment but it will work ok the way you do it.

4:48 I’ve over tightened the screw, so it has become loose, and does not screw in anymore. What should I do anyone?

The screws that hold the still blade? Tighten them as much as possible. Just make sure to tighten each one slowly.

Too much talking.... this is supposed to be about adjustments for blades, not a tutorial about the functionality of clippers..🤔

Way too much talking, with no clear direction. Press record. Adjust blade with explanation. Stop record.

Would be better if you didn't take two and a half minutes to show us what we came for (straighten the blades). Viewers want you to get to the point.

Wonderful knowledge and skills learned. Thank you!
