Materials Needed

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Materials
Before starting the modification process, ensure you have all the tools and materials mentioned above. Having everything ready will save you time and frustration during the process.
Step 2: Open the Clipper Housing
Using the appropriate screwdriver, carefully remove the screws holding the clipper housing together. Keep the screws in a safe place to avoid losing them.
Step 3: Assess the Existing Components
Once the housing is opened, take a close look at the existing components. Identify the parts you wish to modify and make note of any potential obstacles or challenges you might face during the process.
Step 4: Replace or Modify Components
Using the pliers and screwdriver, remove the original components you wish to modify or replace. If you have a modification kit, follow the instructions included for replacing specific parts. If not, carefully modify the existing components using a file or other suitable tools.
Step 5: Clean and Lubricate
After making the desired modifications, thoroughly clean the clipper’s components to remove any debris or metal shavings. Apply a few drops of lubricating oil to ensure smooth operation and prevent rusting.
Step 6: Reassemble the Clipper
Carefully put the modified or replaced components back into place inside the clipper housing. Align the parts correctly and use the screws to secure the housing. Ensure the screws are tightened appropriately, but be careful not to overtighten and potentially damage the clipper.
Step 7: Test and Adjust
Before using the modified clipper, switch it on and ensure it is functioning as expected. If necessary, make any necessary adjustments to improve performance or address any issues that may arise.
