Put your Conair Clipper head back together (reassembly)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 26 вер 2024
- You've taken your Conair clipper apart to clean it out, and now you're wondering how it goes back together; so you've turned to UA-cam for help. If your collection of bits looks like this, then you're in the right place - this is how it reassembles. And, I didn't think it was easy.
Make sure you have the blades the right way up; this is how they slide together. And note how this slider part goes over the actuator; when you come to fit it together, it has to slot inside. So remembering which was the outside of the moving blade, the slider part has to fit to it, but wait: there's a pad that goes in between with a reserve of oil. This one has plenty, but you can add drops of clipper oil at this point if you wish.
I tried to place the oil pad on the blade first, but it was too fiddly and I decided to do it the other way around. You can see why that works better. So, to double check: this is how the blade slides.
This spring part pokes in to these two holes, and will eventually keep the blades pressed together. But, and this is what I found confusing, if you fit the spring the obvious way, the ends point down, not up, so it's clearly wrong. So, how does that spring fit? If you point the ends in the right direction, the centre part of the spring doesn't seem to be anything like near the tab where it's clearly supposed to fit.
The answer is that the spring is under half a turn of twist when fitted, so it's quite a squeeze to press it in to place, and it's tricky even to get started. There are two slots down the side of the tab to help you, and you start by pressing the spring ends in to them. Note that the centre of the spring is at least close to the tab now. It's still not easy, if you push the spring centre into the tab with your fingernail, it just pops out again!
Now before you start this next part, make sure that the main blade, your screwdriver and the screws are within reach, because you're going to need them before you're done.
Making sure that the spring centre doesn't slip out of that tab, fit the slider part to the spring ends, and push down on it, then folding it into place. Now, keeping the pressure on, squeeze the main blade on top of the sliding blade, and jiggle it until it goes over the short screw pillars.
Now this is why you need the screws within reach: carefully screw the blade down before it pops apart again.
And just to prove that it's working properly, here's a slow-mo of the clipper in action.
5 years later and you still out here saving lives ,thanks for this video
I know, right? All the electronics I designed in my career is probably obsolete now, and this one simple video is living on as my lasting contribution to society. I didn't see that coming...
6 years later ! And you still out here saving lives , thanks for this video
7 years later, and this video is still helping very frustrated people, thank you sir!
What a star you are Sir! I took ours apart and the blade sprung out before I had a chance to see what went where and I couldn’t for the life of me work out how to reconnect the spring. You video was so clear and concise I realised I was trying to fit it on the wrong side of the blade. I have tested said clippers and they now work beautifully. Thank you so much. 👏❤️
I just disassembled the same vut was not able to back in ,glad seeing this video and working, ha ha.i thought I broke mine
Searched for 40 mins... watched a bunch of useless videos. At that point I was about the throw the damn clipper against the wall, but then I found this video. Not only did it help put the clipper back together, your voice calmed down my nerves. You could read me a bedtime story ANYTIME!! :) Thanks!!!
It's not the clipper that I have but I am with Alexandra, you can read me a bedtime story anytime. Your voice in real calming. I will listen just cuz! Thanks and add more videos anytime.
Yesssssss to this comment and the calming voice part!!!
now theres no excuses for a rats nest down there baby!!
Lol
Thank you SO MUCH for this video. Saved my life when I took blade off to clean excess hair out. I would have never figured out reassembly without this. You're the best!!
Sir, you just saved me after 45 minutes of struggling and getting nowhere. Thank you thank you thank you!!!
Thank you!! Very well explained! I took mine apart to clean and I thought, after, it was supposed to be at zero point or in other words, the blades had to be even. I immediately regret taking it apart to clean until I reached this video to put it back together.
I couldn't do it, I have the red one, I just smashed it against the floor 3 times, problem solved! Buying a new one soon 🤦♀️
I had a basic wahl hair trimmer that someone gave me. 4 years or so ago. And just about a month ago the cutter comb assembly needed to be put back on the trimmer. And girl. I ended up doing the same thing. Couple explicit words expressed and across the room into the brick fireplace mantle stopped its flight through the air. Lol
Just got a new conair brand corded electric hair cutter.
Damn 😳
My thoughts exactly 😬💯
L😆😢1a⁰】1×-] a2p1p
😂😂I just did the same Shii
Thank you so much!!! I cleaned my set and totally spent forever trying to figure out how that damn spring went back in!!! LOL
This guy is a life saver during covid. Was pretty close to just tossing these Amazon clippers away
Thanks...this video was very helpful
Fr those ass surkker trimmers
Oh man. Thank you. You are literally the only person in the internet that shows people this.
A seven-year-old video helped me reassemble my Limural K11S, even though it wasn't the same model. Even after all this time you still save people's day. Greetings!
My husband threw away a clipper a few years ago for this exact reason. Yesterday my son dismantled the new one to clean and after an hour of cursing and frustration we found your video. Our set up was slightly different, but the spring was the issue THANK YOU!!!
I think the clipper companies had a deliberate policy of not telling people how to re-assemble them.
I gave up on fixing my clippers after taking them apart to clean them two years ago. I watched your video apart, reassembled it, and it's good as new. Thank you!
You should congratulate yourself for keeping all the parts safe - so many people are careless with that stuff.
@@andycivil Thanks :) I'm a packrat, but sometimes it comes in handy!
Thank you for this, was surprised at how unnecessarily complex the reassembly looked. couldn't have done it without you
Thank you a lot! Explanation helped me to understand how to assemble completely different model, which I disassembled by mistake. It was quite a puzzle, and your explanations were the key.
I deal with little screws and springs from fishing reels, but this was real challenge for me.
Thanks for the video, save my clippers 👍
Watched so many videos. Finally found this one and understood where to place the spring. It was difficult to keep it in place but at least I somehow ended up fixing it.
Hats off to you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! You’re an absolute life saver! I bought a razor today, once I put the batteries in I realized it wasn’t working. I unscrewed my razor and everything popped out, I did not expect it. I had been trying for 1 hour trying to get everything back in but I couldn’t figure it out. Thank you so much!
It's great to know that I'm still helping people even after so long-thanks for the feedback!
@@andycivilI wish you a great life sir. :D
That damn spring man. I was about to throw the whole clipper away.
😂😂😂😂😂
Me too
I just took my blade of an the spring popped off😭😭😭this is insane
😂😂😂
Haha this is exactly what I about did.. I felt defeated by a spring of all things! The spring may have won the Battle but, I won the war!!!
Ffs🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was facing problem in fixing trimmer and searched lot of videos but not able to fix it. After viewing your video I fix my trimmer in five minutes. Thanks a lot.
Thank you, Andy! This was super helpful. The first ten seconds had me cracking up "you've turned to UA-cam for help." Yup lol. What did people do before YT? Now I know why people are cursing the spring part in the comments. I assembled it wrong twice, and the clipper made a terrifyingly loud noise. But I finally got it! Conair really should make cleaning this easier.
Thank you! You saved me...it is always getting something apart easier than putting it back together. I watched 1 minute and 36 seconds of your video and voila! my reassembly was a breeze!
Your video was THE ONLY ONE that actually showed me how to put the plastic piece and springs back together!!!
Short, straight and right to the point!!!
Now you know why I made this video-when I searched for help there were precisely ZERO that were any use!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I took my clippers apart a few months ago and I couldn't remember how the spring was supposed to be positioned. Now, my hair is on point and all is well with the world.
This guy saved me... Or else I can't even imagine what my dad will say😭😭
لا باس
Thank You sir my spring jumped out and i had no idea how it fits into everything
5 years ago you put that video and today you are still helping people thank you so much flip the blade when reassembling too again thank you
When I looked for help with my friend's and couldn't find any, I thought that I should make a video when I'd worked it out. It seemed like the makers deliberately didn't tell you how to do this. I was hoping it would be popular, but I had no idea how astonishingly useful it would be. I look at the views, and I try to imagine all those people, like, in a stadium, watching me.
Thanks
For this video....I opened it to clean it...I couldn't put it back x 1 month...watching many videos and still couldn't do it...until I saw your video...finally I fix it..thanks so much....
Thanks for the video! Had to give my husband his 10th quarantine haircut & took apart the clippers, just to realize my baby brain got the best of me & I forgot where everything went!! You’re awesome!
You're welcome, and, look at the view count on this video-you're far from being alone!
I didn’t know that once I had put the spring attachment onto the little blade that I had to push it down for it to be able to to the big blade to be able to be set in place for the screws to be able to hold it in place until I saw this. Incredibly detailed video and give this 5 out of 5. Wouldn’t be able to have put my clippers back together without it.
Thank you for the clearly narrated steps. I spent a couple hours trying to put that spring back in correctly to no avail. *****.!! 😊
Thank you very much. I couldn't figure out how that damn spring went back in
OH MY GOD thank you so much dude, I just finally after an hour of trying to reassemble this I was able to pull it on. This thing is from my dad and he would kill me if it didn't work properly.
You're the boss 🙌😎
You save my life, greetings from Mexico 🇲🇽❤
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. After struggling for quite a bit to put it together and kicking myself for not noting how it fit together beforehand, I finally looked up a video on how to do this. I was able to get it done really quickly from watching this.
Thank you!
Lol
Sunday afternoon April 28th 2024 Montreal Canada, it's raining outside, i decide to give a good clean-up to my clipper i own since Covid: First part very easy. Second part i'm here watching the video. Thank you Sir, you give me hope to re-attack the second part sometime. 👌👍
Bonne Chance!
Thank you! I could not figure out how to get that spring installed correctly. You were a big help!
Amigo, muchas gracias! Desde hace 3 dias que intentaba armarla nuevamente y no encontraba ningun video que me ayude hasta que vi el suyo, explicó muy bien, ese resorte me había dado dolor de cabeza y ud me ayudó, Me salvó la vida. Agradecida🤗
Thank you, even though I don't speak English, your wonderful and simple explanation enabled me to fix my machine.
I am happy to hear this. I know that not everyone speaks English, so I put my words in the description so that you can paste it into Google Translate.
Literally the most helpful video on UA-cam
Thanks!!!
I'll add my thanks. My Conair isn't the exact same but simply pointing out the spring ends connect to the plastic blade holes (which I missed reassembling myself) helped turn the clippers from useless to working again. Bless you!
I think I've helped way more people than I ever thought I would tbh.
Yes, Thank you for the Video, After hours of trying fit the spring and blade together I was ready to chuck the trimmer away, Thank you
Thanks a lot. I was trying to fix my trimmer again and again. Then i found your video and Fixed it by watching this. 😍😍😍
I don't have these exactly clippers but the video still managed to help me put my clippers back together. Good video 👍
Thank you, this video saved me from mailing off to the company.
Truly appreciate this!❤
I would like to say thank you for the instructions on this topic. I consider myself pretty damn smart when it comes to being able to figure out and fix most things, but figuring out that spring configuration kicked my ass for about two hours. After watching your video i did it on the first try. Thanks again from John in sunny Florida. 😎🌞
Look at the number of views on this video - you're in good company! As I said in the intro: "I didn't think it was easy".
Great job great video I was going to buy a new one
My trimmers fell and the piece inside the spring was all off thanks to your video I fixed it
You saved me from leaving my house like a monster! You are a hero!
You saved me $20 bucks thanks for sharing your experience/ expertise.
Thank you so much for this! My husband better appreciate the time and effort that went into me watching this multiple times to clean and reassemble his clippers!!! Lbvs
"Multiple times" - ha ha... I wondered how my simple video racked up a third of a million views!
That intro had me laughing harder than I’d like to admit. I think it was the shame... 😂
thank you, thank you, thank you - I have been struggling to reassemble the blade and spring for nearly 2 days; I didn't know about the 2 sneaky little holes either.
But i don’t have those sneaky holes on mine I’m already fighting it for 3 days 😔
Excellent walking us through the steps. Thank you!
I spent more time trying to put the clippers back together than I did doing the actual hair cut🥲 thank you your service
Hi Andycivil.
When I removed the second screw from the base blade of my Conair razor, the devilish spring blew up both blades and the plastic base.
Despite my Conair is not the same model that yours, it has the same clip.
It took me watch your video twice and 10 minutes to reassemble my clipper again.
Thank you very much for your useful help.
Esperando que tú y los tuyos, se encuentren bien de salud, te envío un cordial saludo desde Toluca, México...
Parabiene for you and your family...👍
You're right. I took it apart and now I'm looking on youtube to put it back together.
Thank you Much 🙏🏾 for this Video... I was Confused as to How to get the Spring back in...
Thank you much 🙏🏾
Thank you for your video, you saved me money by explaining on how it's put together, God bless Brother
Comments say it all.Very practical & instructive viedo .The spring story is the best.Thanks a lot!
THANK YOU! took it apart to clean and got absolutely lost when I went to put it back together
Out of all the vids on UA-cam, yours was the only one to help me....thank you
Mine was quite a bit simpler (probably a new model given the time of the video) but I couldn't quite figure out wtf I was doing wrong, but got it sorted thanks to this. THANK YOU!
And, I bet even with the new model, they still don't help you to reassemble it-they'd rather you blamed yourself and bought a new one!
@@andycivil Yea, the entire world is on a "Why fix it when you can just buy new" or "It's too expensive to fix, so just buy a new one". But thanks to your vid I get to deny the assholes at least a bit longer! :D lol
Thank you so much, after months of trying to put it together wrong, with the spring upside down, I decided to finally look it up and you saved me!
Thank you. The spring was the culprit when I open the clipper head to clean and it has caused me to look for a cover that doesn't exist for 20 minutes lol. This video help me save a trip to the store. Cheerios
Isn't youtube great? Whatever you want to do, there's some random dude on the Internet that's already done it, and took a video.
Excellent and spectacular all the explanations and clear, simple and concise steps of each of the videos that you have uploaded and published on UA-cam, I hope you like my comment very much, receive your answers as soon as possible and also a hug and a strong affection for you and everyone around you. From Lujan, Buenos Aires-Argentine Republic. (To facilitate the language I went to Google translate while I was writing it in Spanish and at the same time I was translating it into English).-
Excellent you are the best thanks to your video I could see where all the pieces were going THANK YOU
Thanks for this you’ve saved my day. Before finding your tip I kept looking towards the pedal bin and thinking time for a new one. Brilliant.
This video showed me exactly what i needed it to (fixing the spring). Thanks
Thank you very much, you saved me from possible punishment from my parents hahaha, and by the way you not only help English speaking people but also Spanish. :D thanks for this tutorial
I desassembled my machine and I didn't get to assembler it again. After your movie, I got. Thank you very much.
Thank you ' I was stuck and didnt know how to fix my clipper ' ur video saved me 😂😂
Turns out I had it right, it was just that the job took four hands. I held the plate in position to keep the bally thing from flying apart, and my wife screwed it down. Thanks for the confirmation!
Thank you my good sir, could not have done it without your assistance
Thank you so much, I wouldn't have ever figured this out without your video!
thanks OP, it helped me with a Wahl 09314-2708, not the same but explanation on the dynamics gave me a hint. Brilliant!
I was trying this for 2 hours and get to much tiyer and than this video helped me to fix this clipper. Inshallah the Allmighty Allah will also help you.
God bless you. You saved 3 weeks of my life
The into thou . “Your wondering how to put it back together so you turned to UA-cam” 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why yes, how did you know, wise man haha
Thank you andycivil for your video, you made it so simple I had to put it back together for my husband after he had taken it apart.
Great video. Spent ages trying to put my clippers together. Watched video and saw where I was going wrong. Still took a while, but at least I could see how I had to do it.
Thank you so much for posting this video! Even though I have a Whal brand of clippers, the way you showed the spring and how it was supposed to go into place was just what I needed to put everything back together again. Thanks again! :)
Thanks! Couldn't have figured it out without your help!
Thanks so much for posting this video. I had installed the smaller blade the wrong way when I first tried repairing the razor.
I had the same thought about the spring, after I put it the way you suggested it works like a charm!
Thank you. The spring kicks me one hour off to put it back. This video save my rest time
It helps me a lot and Allah will help you too because you helped people and I have pray(Dua) for you that "Allah please give this man Hidaya".
Sir you just saved my sanity. Thank you!
Thank you! Yours was the only helpful info out there. I just successfully reassembled it! Mine isn't even the same model, and the parts look far different, but your details about those holes and springs, then showing the angle and direction to attach and to bend them made it all possible. Thank you so much!
Thank you. figuring out the spring position took a while.
I was about to give up on this and the key as you said was on those springs even if they were a bit different to mines, I got the trick and now they work as they did before. Thanks a lot.
I just tinker with my clipper for 2 hours dont know why my clipper making lawnmower sound . until i found your video thx a lot
Thanks for the video. I was getting mad for not being able to fix the spring. You saved me...
Thanks for the video, clippers now back together successfully and zero all over head
Literally my exact situation i was gonna go buy a new one thinking theres no way someone posted a video with the exact clippers thanks
This video is awesome! Thanks for helping me put back together my clippers!
Oh man, thanks for the video! I was going nuts trying to figure it out
Hi, thanks for the help, I was frickin out and almost tried to dump it away, you saved me! Thanks and greetings from Mexico!
minutes ago
when u pushed the first balde back on the spring was their alot of tension, is it supposed to be like that
thank you so much for this video the manual doesn't explain any of this, i dont even have this model and you still helped me put my clippers back together!
I think this is deliberate. Look at all the comments that say something along the lines of "gee, thanks; I was about to throw it out and buy a new one".
