How is electric clipper maintenance performed?

By replacing the blades regularly
By cleaning the blades and lubricating regularly
By only cleaning after use
By soaking in water

The correct answer is: By cleaning the blades and lubricating regularly

Electric clipper maintenance is essential for ensuring the longevity and efficiency of the tool. The best maintenance practice involves both cleaning the blades and lubricating them regularly. Cleaning prevents hair, product buildup, and any debris from accumulating, which can hinder the clipper's performance. Lubrication reduces friction between the blades during operation, ensuring a smoother cut and preventing overheating. Regular maintenance helps maintain optimal function and avoids potential damage to the clipper. Simply replacing the blades can be part of maintenance, but it doesn’t address the need for regular cleaning and lubrication. Cleaning only after use does not provide the continuous upkeep that electric clippers require, and soaking the clippers in water can damage electrical components and lead to potential safety hazards. Therefore, the combination of cleaning and lubricating is the most effective way to maintain electric clippers.
