Put clipper blades back together and now they pull hair out

New to blade sharpening..i have done research and following proper techniques to putting the blades back together with approximately the width of a credit cards distance between blades when assembling. About half of the blades are pulling hair out. I sharpened, oiled, and used hand to wrist tension when putting the screws back in.

SOURCE: I have an Oster Golden

I did not solve the problem, but I doubt if you have an answer for me.
I will just use the blades as I have put them back together, and hope they are attached correctly on the comb part of the blade. There is an area on the tension spring that allows it to move forward or backward when the screws are attached to the comb part of the blade. I am not sure exactly how to adjust it when screwing it to the comb. If it is slid back, the cutter part of the blade will be set back. If it is slid forward, the cutter blade teeth will be nearer the edge of the comb part of the blade. The cutter still rides on the rails of the comb okay, but I am sure there is an exact position for proper re-assembly.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

hi, not sure of the sharpener you have but to be honest it is very hard to sharpen blades getting the correct hollow grind is essential we receive lots of blades that have been ruined by other sharpening companies.

SOURCE: Oster A5 single speed clipper not cutting

not usually we will not sharpen blades that are worn out as we cannot charge for something that does not cut!
make sure your blade is connecting with the drive of your clipper they might need an extra push depending if the blade has been adjusted.

Clippers not cutting

It is not unknown for a sharpen to be no good, anyone can turn out a bad sharpen. Look for correct blade assembly, check that there is sufficient pressure holding the blades together, check there is no missing stroke. Check the blade is secure and not wobbling. If the above are OK I would buy a new blade. You could also return the blade with the clipper for the sharpener to test for themselves.

Clippers have suddenly stopped cutting and seem to pull at the hair

Generally removing the two screws.. on the blade foot (don't do this over the sink unless the drain is closed!).. and taking the blade apart.. cleaning the trimmers with a small brush.. apply grease in the blade groove.. reassemble

Usually it's best to put those two screws back just get them in lose.. not quite snug..set the blade upside down on a flat surface..so it pushes the blade back away from the cutting end..level..then tighten those screws while you are pushing or holding down on the clippers cutting edge against the flat surface/table. ... oil the blade with the proper oil or a light mineral oil.

This usually will get them back to cutting properly..the blade should be oiled prior to each use...about two to three drops right along the visible part..or a light spray also hair should be clean.. dirty hair does not cut well at all..and the clippers will tug and pull rather than cut cleanly.

Lastly..if they see a lot of use. might be blade replacement time..

Best of luck!

Oster clippers blade

John! No Problem!
First put the bigger of the two blades witht the size/number facing down, put the cutter on top. (with the side with the flat side of the teeth facing down) Then put the tongue guide inside the tension spring, make sure the tension spring rail is on the tension rail and place them on top of the cutter. To see which bits these are go to: http://www.sheareaseltd.com/clipper-blade-sharpening/clipper-blades-the-parts
This picture whows the front and back, it differs slightly from your blade, but its same meat different gravy!

Hold all this together with your finger and thumb, flip it over and scre the whole lot together!

My andis t-outliner keeps pulling hair when cutting and it barley cuts the hair. Do the blades need adjusting?

sound like your clipper blades may require sharpening, just remove the blades and send them to a professional company specialising in scissor and clipper sharpening.

Took oster blades apart and now don't know how to put them togeth

First thing about Detachable clipper blade are Tension and straightness, You need a special tool to set the tension on your blade and the spec's on how much tension, plus you need to set the straightness of the tension spring. With out these tools your blade will not cut, even if some body sharpens the blade and do not set the tension correctly and straightness. You need to send it to a professional sharpening company, mannyssharpening.com has a mail order service he charges $8.00 to sharpen set to factory spec's and this price includes return shipping, they are fast in service.

How to sharpen oster clipper blades

In order to sharpen these blades you must first dis-assemble them (paying particular attention to the way everything fits together), Next you need to get a piece of glass or something as flat as possible and tape a sheet of 180 grit emery paper with the rough side up. Then you put the upper blade on the emery paper wih the flat side down and stroke it back and forth in a straight line at least 100 strokes each way. Turn the blade over and examine the surface with a magnifying lens to see if you have honed the blade flat all the way across. Next turn the blade 90 degrees and again stroke the blade back and forth in a straight line. Turn the blade over and examine again to see if you have removed all the first series of strokes and the new set is flat from edge to edge. If so then put that blade aside and do the same thing to the lower blade until it is flat across and up and down. After reaching this stage you need to remove the 180 grit paper and go up to 230 grit paper and repeat the whole process. After completing the second stage you progress to 400 grit paper and repeat once again..
Make sure you keep the blades straight so the hone marks are up and down and from side to side and you should have an almost razor sharp cutting tool. Also DO NOT USE SAND PAPER only emery paper or cloth. I know this sounds like a lot of work but after you've done it a couple of times you can whip out a blade in about 20 minutes.
