hair clipper cleaning from the 1970's!!

[QuantumPolagnus]

I fully took mine apart (down to where I could see the motor inside the casing) to do a really thorough deep cleaning. All I used were a few screw-drivers, an old rag, some WD-40 (some of the metal parts were a bit rusty, so I scrubbed the rust off), and a can of compressed air to get the little hairs stuck in hard-to-reach areas.

thanks for this. I've been cuting my own hair for about 3 years now and I've had the same clippers since. Well, I never cleaned them and needless to say they were beginning to cut very poorly, so I finally cleaned them lol.
