Why Are My Clipper Blades Moving But Not Cutting?

There may be reasons why your clipper might not work. Always you can’t blame your clipper. Some of these problems are as follows:

• The socket might be faulty. Say, for example, you have connected your corded clipper to the power slot nicely, but it is still not moving or cutting. In such circumstances, the power supply or the socket might be faulty.
• The blades might have become dirty or clogged. If too much dog hair gets clogged in the clipper blade, then the blade might get dull and clogged. And thus, the working efficiency of the clipper will reduce gradually.
• The lack of oiling of the blades makes the clipper blades rough. Thus the clipper blades turn hot within a short time and cause difficulties during the trimming. Lack of oiling also causes rust formation on the clipper blade and it also degrades the blade’s working principle. Lack of sharpening will also cause the blades to turn dull.
• Again, the clipper blade’s misalignment also causes trimming irregularities. An expected elegant hairstyle is not possible without the proper alignment of the blade. You need to align the clipper blade following the manufacturer’s instructions.
• The balance of the applicable tension force on the clipper blade also needs to be suitable. The moving blade applies some amount of tension force on the stationary blade. But if somehow this applied tension force becomes high, the clipper starts moving very slowly, and expected results will not be obtained.
• And lastly comes the clipper’s engine defect. The super high price or super-cheap price of a clipper doesn’t matter. Even a medium-priced dog clipper might also have a highly efficient engine. It is to mention that the dying or extra weak motors can’t cut through the hair significantly and can’t also reach expectations.
