What can happen if clippers are used without proper lubrication?

Using clippers without proper lubrication can lead to overheating and potential damage. The lubrication helps to reduce friction between the moving parts of the clipper blades. When clippers operate without sufficient lubrication, the metal parts can grind against each other, generating excessive heat. This not only can break down the motor or damage the blades but can also make the clippers less effective in cutting hair. Keeping clipper blades lubricated allows for smoother movement, prolongs their lifespan, and ensures optimal performance during use. Proper maintenance, including lubrication, is essential for the longevity and efficiency of hair cutting tools.
