If your clippers get dull, you need to sharpen them.
The more you use a pair of clippers to remove hair, the duller the blades will get. Eventually, the clippers won't cut the hair, but instead will rip out the hair, making the process uncomfortable. Instead of getting a new pair of clippers, you can just sharpen the clipper blades. This takes a little bit of a special technique, but you can do it in under an hour.
Instructions
1. Take off the top clipper blades from the end of the clipper using the Phillips-head screwdriver for the screws.
2. Hold the sharpening stone in your left hand. Hold the top clipper blades in your right hand. Slide the sharpening stone against the edge of the top clipper blade using gentle pressure. Work the stone over the blade a few times and then test for sharpness with a finger. Flip over the top clipper blade and repeat the process.
3. Work the edge of the clippers against the sharpening stone using the same method you used on the top clipper blade.
4. Turn on the clippers. Run the vibrating clippers over the sharpening stone for several minutes. Turn off the clippers. Soak a cotton ball in rubbing alcohol and rub the clipper blades and the top clipper blades with the alcohol.
5. Reinstall the top clipper blade to the clippers with the Phillips-head screwdriver. Wipe down the outside of the clippers using another cotton ball soaked in the rubbing alcohol.
