Heiniger Guide Strip (Shaving Head Guidance)

Take the guide strip along in your fixed maintenance routine: check it when you clean the clipper and take out the blades. Do you see wear grooves, cracks or deformation? Then it is time for a new one. Always work on a clean blade set, because hair and dirt building up under the strip already causes play by itself.

Does your clipper keep clipping unevenly after the replacement? Then check the blades and the blade tension as well. Blunt clipping kit gives exactly the same picture. If you have your blades sharpened by us, hand them in properly cleaned, because dirty blades cost extra.

Choose this guide strip when your Heiniger clipper starts to snag, clips unevenly or gives more resistance while the blades are still sharp. As a spare part it is handy too, certainly when you clip many horses in one season and do not want to come to a standstill.

If the problem lies with the cut itself, for example tracks or hair left standing, the cause is more likely to be with your blades. In that case you look at sharpening first, or at new blades or a new blade set for your clipper.

Check the strip every time you clean the clipper and take the blades out. If you see wear grooves, cracks or distortion, replace it. Follow your clipper's manual and work on a clean, removed blade set.

Keep the strip free of built-up hair; oiling is done on the blades themselves. If the clipper still clips unevenly after replacement, check the blades and the blade tension as well.

Does this fit my clipper?
The available product data do not state which Heiniger models this strip is intended for. Heiniger works with two blade systems side by side, so let us know your clipper model and we will check it together before you order.

What does a guide strip actually do?
It guides and positions the blades in the blade set, so they carry on moving cleanly across each other while clipping.

When should I replace it?
When you see signs of wear, cracks or deformation, or when your clipper snags and clips unevenly while the blades are still sharp.

How many strips are in the packaging?
That is not stated in the available product data. Feel free to check with us before you order.

Can I replace it myself?
It is a part you take out at maintenance, so that is usually manageable yourself. Follow your clipper's manual and work on a clean, removed blade set.

My clipper clips unevenly, is this the cause?
It can be, but blunt clipping kit and wrongly set blade tension give the same picture. Check those three things together.

Do I need to lubricate the strip?
Above all keep it clean and free of built-up hair. The lubricating during clipping is done on the blades themselves.
