Which blades are fitted to the STAR Clipper?

How do I fit the blades to the clipper? 

Firstly, disconnect the clipper from the power source

Note: Excessive tension will blunt the and overheat the blades, while insufficient tension will reduce cutting performance and lead to clogged blades. 

How and how often should I oil the blades? 
Before oiling, brush any excess hair from the blades, clipper head and clipper 
When in use, we recommend oiling the blades every 5-10 minutes, using Lister R15 Clipper Oil 

NOTE: Oil between the cutter points, the surfaces between the clipper head and top blade, the cutter blade guide channel and heel of the cutter blade from both sides or via the two holes and the crank shaft and roller, via the central hole. Frequent oiling will help keep to the blades running smoothly by reducing friction and heat.

The clipper and blades should always be stored in a clean, dry and safe place (inside the house ideally) 
It is also particularly important to keep the plug and clipper cable clean, dry and in good working order 

How do I remove and clean the filter? 

Slide the filter out of the filter socket on the clipper 
Hold the filter up to the light to check the mesh for blockages 
Wash away any dirt and debris, ensuring the filter is clean and dry before refitting to the clipper
