Q: How to properly align the blade and comb of my MOSER 1230 clipper?

The blade and comb must indeed work together. The blade is the moving component hidden under the comb — it is the one that creates the reciprocating cutting motion thanks to the oscillating armature motor. For the cut to be effective, the alignment between these two elements is critical . According to the technical manual, the gap between the front edge of the comb and the front edge of the blade must measure between 0.5 and 1.0 mm exactly . If this interval is too large or too small, the clipper will not cut properly. When you assemble or reassemble the cutting head (especially after sharpening by a professional): Check that the blade fits well into its motor housing with its pivot properly engaged Slide the comb onto the cutting head until it is seated firmly Quickly test the device: if the blade moves freely but does not create cutting friction, the alignment is likely This is exactly why a professional (cutlery or sharpening workshop) must not only sharpen the blade but also check and adjust this blade-comb alignment after the work. Poor realignment after sharpening is the most common cause of cutting problems.

Question 1

How do I use my MOSER 1230 clipper for a 3-5 mm cut without shaving my dog's coat?

Accepted Answer

Setting for 3 to 5 mm

The MOSER 1230 clipper alone can cut between 0.7 and 3 mm (6 click positions on the adjustment lever C). To achieve 3-5 mm while keeping a respectful coat, you have two options:

Option 1: Maximum position only (3 mm)

Set the adjustment lever C to its position 6 (maximum) to cut at 3 mm.
This height leaves the coat visible without a shaving effect.

Option 2: With additional comb (4-18 mm)

A variable comb 4-18 mm is available as an optional accessory.
Attach this comb to the cutting head - it adds to the internal settings and allows you to reach 4-5 mm.
This combination offers a softer and more coat-friendly cut.

How to adjust the height

Unlock the lock button (B) by sliding it away from the cutting head.
Operate the side lever (C) to choose the desired position.
Relock by sliding the button back towards the cutting head.

Tip: Test first on a small area to check the final result.

Question 3

My MOSER 1230 clipper no longer cuts after sharpening the head, how can I resolve this issue?

Accepted Answer

If your MOSER 1230 clipper no longer cuts after sharpening, the problem is most likely due to a misalignment between the blade and the comb. This is the most critical step after any work on the cutting head.

Check the blade alignment

According to the manual, the gap between the edge of the comb and the blade must be between 0.5 and 1.0 mm. If this gap is not respected, the cutting will not work.

Reassembly procedure:

Set the locking button and lever to the shortest position
Remove the two fixing screws
Place the blade with its guiding groove on the plastic guide
Lower the blade to insert the motor pivot
Check that the gap between the comb and the blade is between 0.5 and 1.0 mm
Tighten the two screws firmly

Mandatory cleaning and lubrication

After reassembly, it is essential to clean and lubricate the cutting head to restore effective cutting:

Remove the comb and remove all hair remnants with the cleaning brush
Apply cutting head oil to the blades
Turn the device on for about 10 seconds to allow the oil to distribute

Important: Do not immerse the device in water.

If the problem persists

If after checking the alignment, cleaning, and oiling the head, the cutting does not improve, it means that the cutting head is damaged. The manual recommends in this case to replace the cutting head.

Question 4

How can I tell if the MOSER 3615 electric razor is fully charged?

Accepted Answer

To check if your MOSER 3615 electric razor is fully charged, you need to observe the indicator light located on the body of the device:

Indicator light: When you plug in the razor for charging, a light usually comes on to indicate that charging is in progress.
Full charge: Once the battery is full, the light changes color (often from red to green) or turns off depending on the model, indicating that the razor is ready to use.
No indicator: If your model does not have a light, it is advisable to leave the device charging for the recommended duration in the specifications (generally about 8 hours) to ensure a full charge.

In summary, monitor the charging indicator light to know the battery status of your MOSER 3615 and avoid completely discharging the device before recharging it.
