Oster Classic 76 Maintenance

[@Mary-Mercedes]

10 YEARS OLD BUT STILL PERFECT INSTRUCTIONS. Excellent. Thank you!

[@lillian88ledesma]

I love that with every step he’s explaining what he’s doing. Very detailed what needs attention and what happens if it’s not attended to. 👏🏻👏🏻

[@priscillasmith3591]

I have bought the limited pink edition clippers back in 2008 and still use them today. As a licensed pro of 15 years, they are the best heavy duty performing clippers I have ever used compared to other brands such as Babyliss, Wahl, etc. This video is wonderful due tips of maintenance and showing how. These clippers are truly very low maintenance cause of how its built and get hair off when doing 0 fades. Thanks Oster for building such a great clipper I can trust.

[@TisaCrowner]

I also brought the pink edition oster 76 clipper, I love them. But the pink is starting to chip off and got scratches on it from normal daily usage. I wonder it I could spray paint my Clippers?

[@keninfarinato1177]

Excellent video. Your speech is clear, the speed is perfect, the information is exactly what is needed. I refer to it often. Thank you!

[@ArtistsMark]

Dude, Fantastic video. Answered my questions and much, much more! [Upload a higher-res version of this if you have it.]

This is one of the best videos I have ever seen on cleaning these clippers. Very detailed 💯💯💯💯💯

[@keninfarinato1177]

Thank you! Very well done, clearly spoken and demonstrated. This shows your company has a commitment to quality and to its customers.

[@JudiMiles]

Thank you for this great instruction! Best maintenance my clippers ever had!!

[@bkt2781]

Excellent- and well-done demonstration. I bought classic 76 family hair. Thank you so much.

[@troyhafford129]

I've been a barber for over thirty years. Great job, brother. 100% correct with good advise and on the time to perform the maintenance.

[@PeopleOfArarat]

One of the best KZbin videos I've ever seen about anything! Thanks! I still have my first original black Oster 76 from 1976 when I graduated from barber school! It's cut thousands of crewcuts, flat tops and whiffles, and still runs like a champ!

[@darrenhelliwell5938]

A very useful tutorial which should come with every new Oster clipper.

[@Christopher-N]

Agreed. The pack-in instructions (for new owners) is very lacking in diagrams. I expect the outer casing to vary by model and when it was made, but the inner workings to change very little.

[@gabrialjackson5878]

Very comprehensive and informative

[@TisaCrowner]

Thank you this awesome video, i purchased my 76clippers in 2008, pink edition. I've sent it out twice for repair. This video save me time and money. I can stay on top of my maintenance. Plus it showed me things I knew nothing about my clippers. I appreciate how well built they are and what awesome value I purchased.

[@googleusergp]

An excellent video. I did all of this on my grandfather's Oster Classic 76 and it's been working great. This video gives the exact detail level needed to do the job quickly and easily. I use 3-in-1 SAE20 oil and the Superlube from Harbor Freight instead. I just got haircut today with the "76" and it performed like new.

[@retrovintageboy]

Thank you for this video. I have followed your instructions for the second time and taken all the parts out and put back in successfully. A must tutorial for these clippers.

[@lfpriego08]

Thank you for a great informational video. Just got my first CLASSIC 76 and I'm anxious to use it, but wanted to learn how to maintain it before i start using it. thanks again

[@AllanSitte]

This is an excellent video. Thank you for this.

[@cut--]

"AYY ! I wondered what happened to the Fonz" Thanks for sharing clipper repair.

[@wilsonroman3245]

Awesome video, I really liked the patience with which you explained each step, well done.

[@gmaggie7]

Excellent tutorial on maintenance of the Classic 76. Thank you.

[@lorierodriguez1741]

You make awesome videos!!!! Your videographer is spot on and you move at just the right pace so that someone can follow along with you. Thank you for making these videos. I subscribed to your channel.

[@barryweaver8833]

This was exactly what I needed Thank You! My Oster Golden A5 clippers are running much quieter and smoother now. I also downloaded a PDF on maintenance that's good to reference. I also found a couple of places that can keep my blades sharpened for me.

[@baumahrpi]

Awesome instructional video, very clear and concise!

[@jiangun]

Wow, why am I just now finding this. Owened my 76 since my early 20s.. So awesome Thank you!

[@willethadaniels9605]

Thank you, this was a perfect tutorial for my new Oster...

[@Canosa612]

Excellent tutorial. Clear and precise explanations. Thanks man.

[@rhornung740]

Very though maintenance video. Provided everything I needed. Very well narrated.

[@everettwhite9874]

This is informative video. I learned some useful home maintenance that I'm sure will save me some money and a headache. If you do an update on this video, please zoom in a little closer. Although zooming in may not help me much (lol) younger eyes should benefit from it. Thanks my friend. Great Video!

[@jtiso2395]

Awesome, this is exactly what I was looking for.

[@Varon_Dandi]

GOOD INFO!! solved my issue, replaced carbon brush and started working just fine!!

[@erickrodriguez451]

Great instructional video! I appreciate it OSTER!!!

[@GlynRobinson]

Love my Classic 76! Looks like I need to do a little maintenance. 😂😂

[@tammyfeemster8469]

Thank you So very very much for posting this video. It sure has helped me and saved me some $$$ 😍 I love my Oster Classic 76 clippers

[@TallTexasGMan]

I bought a pair just for cutting my hair. Simple balding, but I was at a loss for where the oil and grease went. The oil on the blade made sense, but the rest had no idea.

[@avacam]

This video is still very relevant and useful. (love those sideburns)

[@tlaltemex1559]

Crazy how old and vintage this video is, just like a dudes sideburns lol 80s/90s video and yet waaaaay better than any other video on KZbin that is made in this actual year!!!

[@joeguzman3558]

Excellent explanation for an excellent product

[@pamelasue8396]

Changing clocks tonight. What a coincidence! Great video.

[@justdawndb]

[@marcelinasanchez642]

Thank You for share, blessings.

[@duyang4609]

Perfect instuction. Thank you

[@DJchestr]

Don't judge a book by its cover, this video is great

[@thiagoaquillessanunga2411]

thanks friend perfect just what I needed

[@tinamarie7039]

This was very informative. Thank You, I just want to know when to use the clipper grease. I was using rubbing alcohol to clean the blades, because I always was taught to use it to clean scissors.

[@serge-emilesimpson678]

Great video and great presenter.

[@vincecavedog3219]

Thanks for the information!!

[@patriciasepulveda539]

Thank you so much It helped me a lot🙋

[@davehak2880]

The music is awesome!!!

[@psymi-hk1fp]

excellent video, thank you

[@jpurssey]

great teacher

[@pedrocordova2179]

This is a great video

[@RonD108]

This was super helpful. Thank-you!

[@camarolt199channel7]

Very informative video. Like someone else said It is a bit difficult to view as the resolution is very low.

[@hulkingwarmachine3]

Very helpful. Thank you

[@tonyp9179]

Sweet flames and burns

[@dianewinton2262]

The best video I've seen yet. Thanks for sharing this. I've been a barber for about 6 yrs and never knew all the info you gave. I do have a question, I'm using an oster with a vacuum system and they just started pulling while cutting. What do I need to do to make them smooth cutting again? Or do I need to get new blades?

[@ultramanxk7]

I use my Oster hair clipper to groom my poodles, works great!

[@johnstuckey8229]

Thank you. Where does the flat washer go? It dropped out after taking the other parts out. It fits both shafts. I put it back on the bottom of the gear shaft since it left the lever a little too high with it on the lever shaft.

[@ramonegomez6203]

Thanks for the info

[@slipknot73745]

For an at-home user of the 76, what frequency do you recommend blade washing? My use will be once (one cut) every two weeks. I'll scale advanced maintenance accordingly.

[@Theo31633]

GREAT VIDEO BRO

[@stanmiller1201]

Exactly what i was hoping to be educated about to keep my clippers good

[@MrDeng-yj9cq]

so good. Thanks very much

[@cezarbrito7364]

simple and efficient. tks

[@marcoacastro9171]

Oster Pro Style/// Hi. When should I grease my clipper? I just bought a new one but I don't know if I have to grease it first before my first hair cut?.

[@NDG7583]

Very helpful video thank u, parts are available in Mexico too??

[@thebigmann81]

Wow only video i have seen that mention gear lubricant or gear grease. Most videos only mentions blade oil. I guess the motor isn't important to most people.

[@vodoofedelin5918]

True, at the shop where I purchased mine do not even carry the grease, they said oil was enough. I pointed them to this video and they now stock the grease and recommend it.

[@zoehamilton9993]

Thank you! Do you also have blade repairs ?

[@MarcassCarcass]

I used my old shavers thrice a month (personal use for beard) for 10 years without having to think of any of this, only the brushing and oiling with every use. This video scares me, or can I use these like my old Wahl shavers that got stolen?

[@saranrattana7439]

Thanks so much 🙏

[@Trekker182]

Hello, would you say too still do the gear lube 2x a year if I'm using it for myself every 6-8 weeks? Also, how long do you think the brush pair would last for? I already do the blade wash and use the blade lube after each hair cut. I skipped buying the disinfectant spray just because I'm the only one using this. Thanks!

[@valeriestubbs6806]

If I do 20-30 clipper cuts a day, how often should I be changing the bushings, greasing the inside? I have blowen out 2 pairs in less then 2 yrs.. I do grease them and clean them every 3 months.. but I still end up blowing out motors with in 6-9 months.. im on my 3rd pair now.. the blades wobble alot also..

[@deborahardy2179]

Epic tutorial, easy to follow and extremely articulated. Thank you. Question, is there a homemade way of making a blade wash? If so, how do you make it?

[@slipknot73745]

debora hardy In a pinch, I've seen recommendations for 50/50 water/rubbing alcohol and 50/50 water/white vinegar. I see no problem in using water/alcohol as long as you 1. use filtered/distilled water (minerals could prematurely wear down blade) 2. oil your blade immediately after drying (prevent rust)

[@lchew2001]

how do you know when you need to change the lever?

[@hellogoodbye.]

The tube says electrical clipper grease. It helps to use the names on the tubes.

[@MrMclovinnnnnn]

How and where are we supposed to store this? It says to not let the product's wires get tangled

[@raulbarasa5855]

Straight game 🔥

[@Tony-dz7kb]

About how many applications are you supposed to get from one tube of the grease?

[@jpurssey]

how often should i grease the clipper gears??

[@florvaldes2228]

Great thanks 😉

[@jgovea007]

1. Always dust off blade 00:17 2. Wash blade regularly (at least one a week) 00:45 3. After washing blade, apply blade lube 1:25 4. Apply blade disinfectant 1:40 5. Apply drop of blade oil to ball bearing (at least once a month) 2:08 6. Keep vents clear (always) 3:02 7. Replace carbon brush (when necessary) 3:42 8. Replace gear lube (every 6 months) 7:05

[@tonyp9179]

Serious Steven Seagal vibes

[@mrantoine11able]

I tried greasing the Clipper but didn't see anything coming out, and so I took it apart to see if there was grease at the bottom and there wasn't. Any ideas? ***(This Is Before) I did just get them when I took the face plate off and saw that there was a bunch of old grease so I cleaned it off.

[@briarboy8959]

What is the difference between the Classic 76 and the Titan?

[@frankvonfrauner]

There's a washer on the bottom of the gear drive ;)

[@dieburnbot]

How do you oil the motor if you have an older model without the silver ball thing on the side?

[@JerzeeeDevil]

I do not think you oil the motor on those.

[@Hashbrownkid1]

whats the difference between clipper grease and lubricating oil.

[@PAT206ify]

Joshua Gabor grease is thick and gunky. oil is a liquid

[@govindmalviya4729]

Thanks

[@fododude]

I have a tube of Oster product called Electric Clipper grease. What is this equivalent to? Gear lube?

[@reynaldorodillas972]

Yes gear lube

[@trackmaniamatt_productions]

My unit turns on, but the blades do not move, any suggestions. I use is maybe 8 times a 12 times a year. I agree this should come with every Oster. Great Job

[@DANNYN224]

just open the blades and clean them with a brush and lubricate them with the oil

[@cheungman83]

BE AWARE!! I just purchased a used one but I wasn’t aware how much maintenance this clipper required and has to purchased a grease separately which were hard to get and expensive, will also need to find & purchase new coil soon, if I knew it was this much hassle then would of brought cordless version which you just need to oil blade and charge battery.

[@Airmanmx1]

Just got them for personal use, good video. Hope they last me a decade or more

[@Christopher-N]

Excellent instructional. I would suggest that when a demonstration is given, that the video should zoom in close to the clipper (accepting that this video is from 2013, limited to 360p resolution). Example: Timestamp 7:33 is not zoomed in enough to adequately see what the gentleman is doing.

[@tonyborges9057]

Have a oster model 22, wondering if I can get parts

[@beerstudd]

I feel like I should dress as slick as this guy when I’m servicing my clippers.

[@commandmastacheef]

Why isnt the ball bearing on the older verison? I went to look for it on mine and it wasnt there. Is that bad that my 76 doesnt have the oil bearing on the outside of the case?

[@JulietJurkovskis]

I have this question, too - and how do we oil our motors?

[@ibrahimtaveras7801]

I've noticed that the limited editions (different colors) don't have the oil port, only the OG one has it

[@marcosroman6127]

What if mine doesn’t have that oiling ball

[@abolit]

is it necessary to buy all three products? I understand the reason of getting oil but those disinfection and cleaning stuff? Is it just a gimmick?

[@craigleewhite6317]

Dear Sir. Its good to see you. How are you? Please may I take a moment of your time to ask you... While taking the gears apart on Classic 76 to apply new grease a small washer fell out on the floor where does it go back? I will look on the manual. I hope to get a reply asp. Im greatful. From Craig. UK.

[@jamesaustin321]

I know this is very late and hope you figured it out by now but the washer goes back in first right under the gear drive.
