T-Outliner Tune up

This video teaches the process of speeding up the Andis T-outliner motor by turning the power up or slowing the motor down by turning power down. Also electromagnetic theory is explained.

[@OCWaite]

My T-Outliner took a trip up north with me in my gear bag and when I went to do my beard the blade had stopped working. I tried everything, adjusting the tensioner and blades. Only when I used this tip to adjust the motor arm did my bad boy come roaring back to life! Thank you so much for making this video, this saved me and now I can get my fresh on!! Not only that but I am now a mechanical master of the tool. BIGUP!!

[@lilboss123thtsme]

Great video, knew how to do everything but this simple and effective tune up, needed this one.

[@cjtjr]

Thank you, I am a big believer in keeping the green as black as long as I can. I will support you and also buy your woo wop blade. Excellent and clear demos!

[@papitokuts1491]

Thank you very much for the tips Andreis! My T-liners were not up to par and i would keep putting my money in the hands of businesses that didn't make any difference in the performance, but once I did this to them I got some super hitters!!! and I watched the your T-liner tension screw video and combined the two and that's was it, now all I need are your wooo wop t blades!

[@keepitsharp357]

your welcome. we are running a buy one get one free special at this time

[@bigunc4884]

go with the modified blades from Chuka the Barber's website. They hit on point real good. Therichbarber.com

[@keepitsharp357]

all our blades come with frree sharpening and they come preset extra then extra sharp

[@embrj1453]

Thanks, autough my T-Liner model is a little different, you video helped because not only you showed in the video how to do it but you took the time to explain the principals of how it works, thus enabling it to apply to any similar model basically.

[@keepitsharp357]

The realist info on how to tune up the andis T outliners

[@fatsbigo]

This is the original video on how to set your Outliners that everyone stole from.

[@houlihero0435]

Yep

[@alexcarino3274]

Knowledge is only passed down not stolen

[@fatsbigo]

@@alexcarino3274 that can be said, but if you're teaching his methods verbatim. You should definitely mention the origin of said teachings.

[@tmaqbool21]

How do you adjust on the newer outliners that have the two rivets that are not removable?

[@Ty_smitt]

I greatly appreciate this video sir, it helped me from buying my third Set of outliners lol

[@hopewestvevo7889]

What’s the best way to get these outliners to have that nice loud crunching sound when it’s cutting the hair ?

[@rosamaria713]

Thank you so much for this video, it helps me a lot; I need to clean up my T Outliner.

[@Kaydubb]

just followed your method..trimmers hit hard.thanks for the vid

[@P33204890]

GREAT video. Is there a(CLEAR w/voice) video on replacing the cord. My cord frayed and it works intermittently.

[@kingmicroyalty7180]

Much appreciation brotha 🙏🏾

[@FantaLiteBrav]

I wonder how many people got electrocuted after watching this lol

[@thesharinganknight]

If it's plugged in

[@slowpoke96Z28]

Hopefully they don't touch either of the screws on the switch. It is good practice though to unplug something though.

[@keepitsharp357]

Thanks for your concern. However all the components in the clipper are grounded. When the switch is off there is no electricity flowing through the clipper. The electricity is only in the wire. So touching the clipper will not kill you. Touching the power source that sends power to the swith can shock you a bit, but not kill you. But i never was near that area. So its all good. 😊Thanks

[@chikeakil1]

Thanks bruh✊✊✊ great instructional video Much appreciated BLACK!

[@keepitsharp357]

Thanks. Appreciate you. Hope i was able to help

[@chrisram9424]

I did this to my machine & a week later it started pulling hair on 1 side of the blade, cant u tell me what can be the problem

[@classiql]

Nice tutorial king

[@abibodlogistics]

I have an Andis T Outliner like the one you have here because the power switch is the same but the motor assembly armature plate is riveted unlike yours that the plate has screws,is it possible to change the motor assembly from the one that is riveted to the one with screws.I have seen a motor assembly with a plate with screws in one of the barber material shops but I just want to first of all know and confirm if it will be possible to swap these two motor assembly.

[@keepitsharp357]

Sure you can it will be no issues just take the two main screws out. It will be fine

[@BL-pv7et]

What up brother I have a pair of andis t outliner when I turn them on the cutting blade doesn't move until the trimmer has been on for about 1min or longer, I oil and clean them after every service, any suggestions, thx

[@youngbuck1250]

whats up brother. i have an issue with the red wire that connects to the top case switch. the clamp that holds the red wire and connected it to the screw has broken. do you know where i can get another clamp part thing from? thanks

[@josh4u2nv2]

I have one that turns on but won't vibrate unless I push on the blade left or right..any ideas?

[@tvm2209]

I have no screws like your two black ones you show at 1:25 but instead some weird flat metal looking things. Is this normal for some of them or did Sally's sell me a fake T-Outliner?

[@keepitsharp357]

no after i made this video some yrs ago they got angry and about it and made the screws flat

[@faisalmohammed3624]

Good day to you I am very impressed with your videos it has help me a lot I have a question can a cord from a toutliner be used on the black toutliner 3 pin plug an also do you have any videos on wahl detailers

[@keepitsharp357]

no detailer videos yet. not much to do to them. unless you have something specific. yes you can use that cord you just dont have the extra third green wire. it will still work for you tho

[@lasvegascream1799]

Thanks og if I'm correct I think I can bet my last dollar that barbers aren't even showing this anymore

[@MarioMartinez-ph2de]

Much appreciated. I fixed them 👍

[@midnitesubaru]

Thanks man , i on the other hand bought one and it was too close to the motor .

[@christopherdiaz7007]

hey my toutliner the red wire burnt a lil can I fix it with black tape

[@joecool97]

For the motor what if the red cord on It's side breaks off?

[@dmutaProductions]

Thank you so much, fixed my problem!

[@keepitsharp357]

you are welcome

[@ForeverYoung007]

Anyone know where I can get the tiny small ring terminals that you use to screw the red wire to the power switch? I have found regular terminals off the shelf for 22awg and they are too bulky/large.

[@hutchdabarber]

Is there a way to turn the power up on the superliner?

[@faisalmohammed3624]

Ok thank you when I am going to change it if I have any problems I will contact you also do you know which wahl shaver is newer model if the burgandy with black switch or burgandy with mustard color switch

[@keepitsharp357]

that i'm not to sure of

[@davidfresh1125]

great video

[@joecool97]

Do you need a certain Screwdriver to move the nut?

[@Unknown90010]

Thanks brah my shit is working again almost went and brought new ones for no reason save me some money

[@mironidesgrego5124]

your video is very nice .!!! TKS Bro.!!!!

[@smith5o7]

what happens if you do this and the cutting blade starts going farther out than the guide blade? tension not tight enough?

[@keepitsharp357]

in this case you will have to adjust and slide the blade over to the opposite direction or bend the tensions spring over slightly in the opposite direction

[@fatsbigo]

Just loosen the 2 screws that holds the tension screw on the Armature. Tilt the tension spring the opposite side that the blade is going passed the stationary blade.

[@caption87]

keep it sharp do you work for a andis certified repair shop.??? gotta get my andis ball pun replaced it passed away when the blades kissed the ground.

[@keepitsharp357]

I am certified to do all repairs on all clippers. If you want me to do the repair just send them to me P.O Box 117 Avondale Estates GA 30002

[@CedrickAllums]

Those two black screws are no longer on the newer Andis. You can't adjust the gap. The real adjustment that I've found is with the Tensioner. Some video's had me bend the arm all out of whack, so I pulled out my second pair and reset that tension arm, back to factor angle. It even was bent over to the right, so the blade will be centered too. Who would of thought. After sharping my blades and zero gap, they hit!

[@Bonez1]

my trimmers are hittin but they are just loud i gotta get it just right so its not so loud

[@thecapitalbarberstation209]

but in my trimmer there are no these 2 scrow how can I tune up my trimmer

[@iGetShy2iO]

Every time I screw the tension screw no matter how much times I screw it , it will never get tight, what am I doing wrong ?

[@keepitsharp357]

one it could be stripped but make sure your catching the right angle when screwing in. if it is stripped you could try thread tape or a slightly bigger screw

[@PeteyS.D.]

Got my shits working again! Thanks for the vid!

[@abyabraham7275]

Tried this and it keeps hitting the motor and still making very very loud noise. Anything I might be doing wrong?

[@keepitsharp357]

Yes you must loosen and pull the moving arm slightly away from motor. make sure you hold in place very tight as you tighten the screws back

[@Milkkchocalate]

@ youngbuck1250 hey chief what's up I've had this problem a few times but if you didn't fix it already you can modify to work or find a similar at an auto parts store .. the modifications simple just securely stick the piece of wire under the screw and tighten it firmly it's been a couple years and I still use those particular edgers... Hope this helps

[@mixter7x7]

dude- 1- unplug that thing 2- get a nut driver or socket so you don't short your motor coil with the jaws on those pliers .

[@clarencewaddy2786]

Question I have a script screw in my andis line up clippers how do I get it out?

[@chefl6681]

How?

[@AdrianHaynes619]

I'm having trouble with this one .when I do the last step tightening the last 2 black screws the cutter blade on the trimmer is moving left. When I try to tighten the bolt in the middle the triangle thing is turning with the bolt

[@keepitsharp357]

sorry to hear things did not work out for you, I think we can fix the problem though. First of all it is common if the center nut is not really tight and you go to put the black screws in the moving arm will move. so you must get that nut tight. to stop the triangle from moving, this is what you do 1. turn triangle counter clock wise about a 1/4 of an inch. by doing this you allow the triangle room to move while tightening the center screw. 2. make sure you hold the moving arm in place while tightening the center screw after its tight and the triangle is not lined up with the holes don't worry 3. now take your pliers squeeze triangle at the top and bottom and twist clock wise to get the holes lined up. then put the black screws in and everything should now line up

[@AdrianHaynes619]

Thanks your the best teacher in the game gonna get some boost juice

[@bj12288]

same with me cant get the triangle piece to stay in place and when i tighten the black screws blade is moving to the left

[@ramezthegreatest62]

Why do my Andis outliners runs dull until I pour alcohol on it then it cuts strong for a second then goes back dull???

[@YourstrulyPrinceOfPromo]

You're not lubricating it.. The metals are rubbing hard. Oil it

[@davidcramos8218]

No

[@RaphaelDelaGhetto23]

mine just stopped turning on, any tips??

[@4000mack]

Thanks for the lesson bro, didn't know what the fuck I was doing.

[@_NEW3RA_]

Does this make them heat up faster?

[@keepitsharp357]

no sir

[@bj12288]

i wish there was some type of tool to get that arm in the right position so it can have that maximum power

[@BL-pv7et]

Why is it that Andis t outliner trimmers always cut better on one side than the other when the blade is leveled evenly

[@keepitsharp357]

T L it can be a combination of things. there can be grime, dead skin, and grease trap in your blade. you would have to take the blade off and really clean it out. when the clipper run for a minute or so its stiff at first then it loosen up and then the blade will move better. also the tension spring may need an adjustment

[@swaggod226]

that's what wrong with mines my blades stop moving after I drop them.

[@fabiangarcia5829]

Nice

[@maxxpayne309]

my t outlines are getting hot very fast .. can you tell me why ... and how to stop it ✌✌✌

Safety first next time wear some rubber gloves like mechanics do if you're not gonna plug it out while making adjustments. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@stevepailet8258]

watching and laughing. what this barber is doing is why Andis eliminated the two black screws with permanent rivets.

[@keepitsharp357]

You are exactly right They saw me teaching people how to make their clipper maintain power instead of buying a new one. They are in business to sell clippers not for you to keep making your old one work. Shortly after this video they changed the screws to rivets. But i will do a video soon show how to still do this with those rivets. 😊👍

D9084 if it's the blade it needs sharped mine was doing the same but I realized the lil space in between the blade and the clipper was pulling mine so I loosened it up so the gap was a lil bigger and it stopped.

Hello folks..I have a problem .. My t-outliner is giving me burns and heavy black marks where ever the blade touches on my face ..I tot it was my skin problem then I use it on my brother and the same issue again.so I went to sharpen the blade very sharp, followed the necessary adjustments ,and even adjusted the tension spring ,yet still the problem is persisting .any experience and solutions pls ..?

[@Kingqualitybullz]

king james that's the motor getting hot.. I would loosen the arm like in thi s vid that should help

[@kingjames3009]

killeen610tx​,can u explain further.. Like how?

[@Kingqualitybullz]

like in this vid where he adjusted the arm you should loosen the arm because im pretty sure too much vibration is causing it to heat up

[@kingjames3009]

killeen610tx​...I did this ,the arm was a bit close to the motor which I move it a bit ,not closer to the rubber cover but he said ,not that close nor that far , My blade is sharpen nice ,my tension spring like he demonstrated in his other vid. And still irritating my skin..I wish u cld see my beard and cheeks bro..
