Rotary clippers - operation of the device, which is based on the motor but the blades do not rotate, and move in a straight line, back - at the expense of progressively eccentric.

Principle of operation
Operation of the rotary machine provides a mini motor, the power of which is indicated in the passport data in revolutions per minute (3000 - 9000 r / min) or in watts (W 15-45). It allows you to work a long time without stopping, but it does not heat up, as forced cooling is used in construction.
Moreover, noise and vibration lower than in other types of machines such as vibrating. Engine power to cope with the harsh and particularly thick hair. These devices are characterized by high strength, durability and reliability.
Knives are used removable, their fastening principle is almost identical for all models - snap fastening.
Differences from the vibration of the rotor:
The vibration typewriters mobility knives provides electromagnetic coil. This embodiment relates to the category of low-end models, with a small number of additional functions. This is due to the low power mechanism, which in rare cases up to 15 watts. As a result, the machine can not cope with thick hair.
Another drawback - small time operation, the gadget can be disconnected after 20 minutes after the start of the process. In addition, they have higher noise and vibration levels
Despite the advantages, before the vibration models have rotary machines is one drawback - the high price. It is due to the fact that the durability and functionality, much more. Another possible disadvantage would be relatively heavy.
How to choose a rotary clipper
material blade
Most often, rotary clippers are available with stainless steel blades. They vary in type depending on the spraying (not all models are covered with coated blades).
The most common options - titanium and diamond-coated. They increase the time of the blade, as it does not tupyatsya even with frequent use. Titanium plating considered hypoallergenic - does not cause irritation upon contact with human skin.
The blade is diamond-coated for a long time does not blunt, unlike conventional blades are cut hair equally without jerks (dry and wet hair).
Ceramic. The main advantage - the blades do not heat up during operation, allows sharpening. In most of the models hair clippers with ceramic blades, a special system for the self-sharpening.
When choosing a model, it is worth paying attention to the presence of self-sharpening system.
The speed of movement of the blades
Navigate here should primarily on his own experience. Novice hairdressers should pay attention to the less powerful devices, with the engine at 3500 r / min., But the professionals will cope with 9000 rev / min.
There are universal models with speed switch. The main mass of hair shorn at high speed and with reduced process problem areas well. Some rotary machines fitted with "Turbo" button.
power method
Rotary clipper can be powered from mains, battery, or from both sources at once.
Cordless rotary machines lose power - their maximum is 4500 rev / min. Such models are used for edging. The noise from them is minimal, and the weight makes it work a long time without fear that the hands get tired.
The main drawback is the battery. The battery is required periodically recharged without waiting for complete discharge Otherwise, power and mobility of the blades falls below the norm, and the wear will increase many times.
As a solution to the problem of removable battery is used, but it is not always supplied, especially in the budget option.
In determining the remaining charge will help a special indicator. If it is not provided, you should carefully read the instructions - usually the manufacturer indicates the recommended time.
In devices operating on a network no such problems, but the cable restricts the freedom of action - to use the machine is not so comfortable.
Advantages of the first and second models combine battery-network devices, but their price is higher.
Noise and vibration
Most modern machines differ low noise levels, but this is not true for all devices. For example, the low-end models emit a very loud noise.
Equally important is the vibration option - hand tires easily because of strong vibrations. In addition, this has a negative impact on health - the total time with such instruments should not exceed 2 hours per day.
Equipment
In most rotary models include several additional blades, whose size ranges from 0,05-9 mm. Manufacturers often completed with two machine nozzle with steel (availability of spraying depends on the manufacturer and model - usually a conventional steel blade) and the ceramic blades.
Buyers pay attention to the number of nozzles, because they believe: the more, the better.
In practice, consumers use two or three, if not one controlled nozzle, equipped with a special retractable blades.
In the vast majority of models nomination range is from 1 mm to 2 cm, in some models - from 0.1 mm to 4 cm.
For short haircuts model with fixed nozzle will not fit. This requires apparatus with blades adjusted for minimal shearing length.
Additional options and functions
It is important that the device does not slide in the palm of your hand, you should give preference to models with a rough grip or with rubber inserts.
control button should be located so as to hold out to them with one hand - this will help to regulate the necessary parameters directly in the process.
The weight - it should be optimal specifically for the user. If the model is too heavy - the hand gets tired quickly. If the gadget is too easy, the haircut will turn problems of a different kind - will be difficult to feel the movement apparatus.
suction mechanism - in fact, mini-vacuum cleaner - cut hair drawn into a special container. Percentage of collected hair is about 98%, while the clean container is easy. It's worth noting that this design greatly increases the weight.
Models marked Washable - differ from the standard that they can be cleaned with a brush, not only, but also under water.
Care
Care rotary clippers is the lubrication of knives and cleaning mechanism from dirt. Cleaning carried out after several uses.
Before you lubricate, thoroughly clean the unit, paying attention to the area of contact between the static and dynamic blades. Cleaning is carried out using a special brush or a jet of water, if the design allows it.
Lubricate the machine with a special oil. Use standard is unacceptable as it constitutes a film on the surface of the blade that during shearing remains on the hair.
An important point: after greasing blades should wipe dry.
Problems
The machine does not turn on, but the lights are lit. If the machine is not switched on, powered by a 220V - stalled or eccentric micromotor rotor (possible heating body). It is required to examine the mechanism of the presence of foreign bodies, hair.
If this battery model and the LED lit (if present):
- jammed mechanical parts, power lights fade because of the increased current and the battery discharge rapidly
- machine fell from a height, is broken power is fed directly to the engine.
The machine does not turn on, no lights. Power supply cord is damaged, in the case of the battery model is out of order (expired service life) of the battery. I broke down the on / off switch.
If the failure has occurred during the warranty period, do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit yourself, contact the service center.
This also applies to devices beyond the warranty period - better to turn to specialists than to try to fix the tool on its own.
