The machine for a hairstyle - repair by own hands

The simplest models of devices for cutting are arranged in much the same way as razors of the Soviet model. The difference between them is that in modern models of machines a pendulum type vibrator is used, so the trajectory of the blade movement is not horizontal, but arc-like. But even the most high-quality and reliable electrical appliance has the property of breaking down over time. Theme of the article: the machine for a hairstyle - repair by one's own hands.

General principle of the

The design of these devices is not particularly complicated, so there are no special difficulties in the repair. Here are the main components of such a device:

• Transformer with a core made of steel.
• Stator coils - 2 pcs.
• Cutting tools.
• Vibration mechanism.

As you can see, there is nothing complicated. If the breakdown is not very difficult, perhaps you can handle the problem yourself and do not have to contact the master.

Consider what it takes to fix a hair clipper. The most frequent reasons that the appliance refuses to cut are the following:

• Engine breakdown.
• Problems with power supply.
• The knives are blunt.

Important! In fact, if the knives are stupid, the machine works, but does not cut it, but simply tears the hair. All that needs to be done in this case is to sharpen them.

Inspection of the

device Before you start repairing the device, carefully inspect it. The inspection procedure is as follows:

• Inspect the cord: if it is damaged or if the plug has gone off. If there is damage, it is much easier and safer to replace the cord.
• Check the voltage on the built-in housing block.
• Call the switches and the switch. If these parts are out of order, they must be replaced.

How to repair the hair clipper:

engine failure The most typical malfunction is the deterioration of the coils. Here are 2 options for repair: rewinding or replacement.

Important! Of course, it's easier to replace it, but we need an absolutely identical coil with exactly the same number of turns that it was originally in the unit. On sale it may not be.

Rewinding is a job that requires patience, but is feasible even for the schoolboy. Rewinding can be done with a drill or even manually. The biggest difficulty is not to make a mistake with the number of turns.

Important! A larger or smaller number of turns can adversely affect the power of the device.

As for power outages - believe me, in many cases the problem is not in the typewriter. If the device is running on battery power, then it's possible that it's time to replace it. If the machine is network, then the following options are possible:

• Make sure that the apartment has light.
• Plug the appliance into another outlet.
• Inspect the plug and the cord. If this is necessary, replace them.

Head Adjustment

If the head is not set correctly, the machine is working, but very poorly. Here's what you need to check in this case:

• The amplitude of the movement of the knife.
• The location of the blades is relative to each other. You can adjust them using an ordinary screwdriver.
• Knife block housing alignment.

Important! We must not forget about prevention. If the device has a simple device, then it will rarely break. This fully applies to machines for haircuts. But this does not mean that they do not require any care. You should clean them regularly and lubricate them.

As you can see, you do not have to go to the store for a new appliance. For any malfunction, you can eliminate it yourself. You just need to understand the cause of the breakdown and allocate time to repair the clipper.
