LAUBE CLIPPERS
Fitting of new style improved blade drive levers
The Laube Clipper Corporation of USA has, now discontinued the standard policy of providing the normal two spare "blade drive levers" in with all new Laube clipper kits using detachable blades.
The Laube UK Distributor informs us, that this is due to the introduction of a new type of blade drive lever, which is now fitted to all factory models. As this new drive lever is claimed to stronger and should therefore have a longer service life, it is considered unnecessary for spare "drive levers" to be provided.
New replacement drive levers will continue to be available and can be obtained from Peasridge in the normal way along with other Laube clipper service product items and clipper tune up equipment. We also keep a stock of the most frequently required spare parts for Laube Clipper repairs.
Customers should distinguish at the time of ordering which blades lever model they require, as there are two non-interchangeable types.
Product code:7506 - Lever packs for Laube clipper models 505/505/513/515
Product code:7513 - Lever packs for Laube clipper models 555
These can be viewed/purchased on this website under "CLIPPER PARTS, OIL, COMBS & ACCESSORIES

We would like to alert all existing and potentially new customers to the fact they may experience considerable difficulties in snapping their "detachable" blades (whatever the make) shut against the clipper head and thus correctly engaging the blade drive lever prior to operational use, when using either a new clipper (irrespective from whom you have purchased) for the first few times, or in case when clippers have been repaired and subsequently fitted with the new type of drive lever.
You can check if the correct "engagement" has been made by running the motor at the low speed and noting if the cutter (upper) blade is moving back and forth across the lower (comb) blade. If it is - fine! All is working correctly. If not then the correct "engagement" has not been made - and you have a problem!
According the UK Distributor recommendations, which we are happy to pass on to Laube customer - the remedy to this problem is simple. Your blades will snap on just as before, but initially you may need to apply far greater pressure than previously used, when closing the blade against the clipper head. It is further suggested by Laube' s UK representatives that after 6 or 7 times of fitting the blade on and off in this manner you will find they connects easily!
Any Laube clipper purchased from Peasridge will have had the blade tested to ensure proper connection several times, therefore customers can rest assured machine purchased from us are shipped in full working order.
