👋 Hey, thanks for the suggestion👍. It would depend on the amount of usage the trimmer delivers and for how long. This would determine when the blade should be replaced because '6 months' is an arbitrary number. Now, if the user trims/shaves facial hair once a week or 52x a year, why would one replace the blade🤔 every 6 months? Please explain your reasoning for 6 month replacement?
Ive had my gold fx trimmers for 3 years and havent changed blade yet. Im booked solid 5 days a week so theyve seen a ton of volume they still crunch like 1st day i got em and i know exactly how they feel when i use them i wont change blades untill they start snagging. You change blades when you feel they need it
Each one teach one👍. CZcams is a wealth of knowledge and has got me out of predicaments time after time💪 Thanks. Which Babyliss trimmer did that video help you to fix??
I had to put the long screws in first to line up then I had to hold it down tightly to to keep the spring from popping up, very frustrating, but it helped to put it together easier.
Thank u so much for this video!!!!! Iv been at it since like 12pm trying to put mine back together! I feel like I was being trolled while watching other ppls videos on how to fix them!!!!
Great content you got my like! I like your idea of loctite and using a magnifying glass. Something so simple yet so helpful and practical. I’m heading to harbor freight ASAP today! Lol. Thanks again.
If u look in side the gapping tool it has a piece of plastic that holds the tool in place. It is one one side only so the side without the piece gets pushed out more .
@@islord999 the zero gap tool has an area for the Allen screw driver to pop into. In mine, I had to pull it out of the zero gap tool when I got it out of the box. Can be helpful for keeping stuff together and not getting lost in the drawer.
Just the video I needed, i got the silver fx and they started making loud noises like rattling. I took apart the blade and was having trouble with the spring part when putting back together. Going to try this again!
Im not lyin when i say, when i hooked the gold part up to the front of the lil springs, it took me over 3 hrs to screw it in bro🤦🏾♂️damn neck was killin me cause i was lookin down for that long man
Ok I think there are some lo pros out there with the cam backwards. Took one apart from stock. Fliped the cam over and boom that mid dot on it facing bottom works way better.
Thank you so much. Wondeful video. Unfortunately, I dropped my machine a few months back. I can't seem to figure out why it's not cutting any longer. I can't seem to get it to cut. There is practically no signs that it was dropped or of any damage. It's expensive and I don't know if I should replace the blade if I just don't know if this is actually where the issue lies. Thank you in advance for an excellent video and for any additional help!
Hi, I’ve been having extreme trouble with getting this blade to screw In because of the reaction of the spring, I’m unable to get the screw to screw into the still blade. Please help if possible.
Hey so I just got my trimmer and the black blade or still blade idk how else to call it, it shifts like it doesn’t stay in the middle (well aligned) I believe that’s what you were trying to fix too right? Any ideas why or how to fix? Any help anybody will be appreciated. TIA!
I bought mine off Amazon and it didn't come with the yellow screwdriver but it's perfectly Zero gapped. Idk if that's an Amazon thing or they just figured everyone was ganna do it anyway.
🤔hmm, I've never had to search for the Fx Trimmer zero gap tool before, so, I can't even tell you. But there's good news 😁 and that is if you can get yourself a 1.5mm or maybe a 2mm Allen key you can zero gap using that alone.👍👍 Let me know if you can get your hands onto those 2 Allen keys, ok?! Good Luck bro 💪 🙏 👍
Try looking at the zero gap tool. It’s the handle. I just ordered some babyliss trimmers and was looking for the screw driver. On mines the screw driver is black and not yellow.
Try adjusting it to the point a little before it zero gaps it bites the skin when the bottom blade is sticking farther then the upper blade and try not adding too much oil this may be the reason its moving up and biting the skin maybe?
To zero gap it you don't have to take it completely apart. All you need to do is take it off the head, and then slightly take off the screws if you're not using lock tite and put back on.
Good day, you should provide and breakdown in the caption of the tools you used and how to get them, I'm from the Caribbean and I got hell to figure out what loctite is... Question though, what's the situation if you've got to remove them?
How did I miss that opportunity to link loctite in the description 🤦🏾♂️ I will definitely add a link to the product now. Situation: Cutting blade sliding OUT OF ALIGNMENT due to oil, heat and vibration.
Yea, I wouldn't use loctite on that, he may not get it back off when needed. They do make different strengths, if u try it use the weakest kind of loctite, they have different strengths, coded with different colors.
Hmm, your trimmers were running mint. You happened to dropped them. Since then you have changed the blade and now the new blades are pulling hair. 🤔 How many hours are on the new blades?
@@DelaceLeCoiffeur zero , its more so catching the skin they are aligner and not crooked but for some reason they catch skin its ok when i try it on arm hair its a chameleon fx trimmer but with the gold blade since Babyliss doesn’t support anything in Bulgaria you cant buy the chameleon blade
Hi and thanks for a great video 👍🏻 Just a quick question is this trimmer worth the price or would you recommend something else? Just need it to cut my always short hair real short and trim edges of me beard..
It's fire bro, I use it to line up my beard and it looks like I got it done professionally. Definitely worth it over going to the barber every couple weeks.
Hola bro ! Cómo solucionaste el problema de que la cuchilla se mueva ? No sé qué es el pegamento que le pone en el vídeo ni sé si funciona ! Por favor me podrás pasar el dato ?
gracias hermano, la habia desarmado para limpiarla y luego no sabia como armarla, hasta que vi el video, soy chileno y a pesar del idioma entendi muchas gracias
Yeah, but the only major problem is, its not that easy. When you got to tight the screws, the moving blade never stays where you put it. It ALWAYS moves when you tighten it down. Im a barber or 36 years. Ive never been able to set liners in one go. It takes days of trial an error with clients and my own skin. Either one side is to sharp or not. The best way is to have the moving blade slightly above the comb blade and youll have to use your trimmers as a bald out blade for abfrw weeks untli the hair sands down the moving blade over a period of time they'll be perfect. Always have extra trimmers for the time being but this has always been the best way for me. Thats with any and every trimmer. Hair does sand down blades. Trust me.
I think it's becuz of the gap tool. I jus brought a pair and noticed that the tool itself is uneven. It has a plastic piece on 1 side and not the other
The Allen screw on the right side of mine seems like it’s stripped or something. I can’t seem to get it loose using the provided Allen key sent from babyliss 😫
Mine was stripped to so i put a drop of super glue in the screw and put the lil screw driver that comes wit it in the screw wit the super glue still wet . I held the screw driver for a lil let it dry a bit then once fully dry i was able to turn the screw it worked good
Your supposed to change your balde every 6 months

try using a pair of pliers to gently press the two together in your left hand while screwing the screw with your right hand?

Man this damn spring is gonna make me do some bad things
Great video. Do your blade get hot when using?
sometimes yeah! do yours?
Should mine have come with the allen wrench tool?
Thanks you bro 🔥
4:32 why doesn’t my screw not screw-in
I don't know why you're unableable to get the screw to go in 🤷♂️
Where do i buy the screwdriver from because mine didnt come with the screwdriver
Try looking at the zero gap tool. It’s the handle. I just ordered some babyliss trimmers and was looking for the screw driver. On mines the screw driver is black and not yellow.
Cool bro
I have this trimmer , straight out of the box it pulls hair and also bites the skin . I have tried everything to fix it and it is still doing it .
Try adjusting it to the point a little before it zero gaps it bites the skin when the bottom blade is sticking farther then the upper blade and try not adding too much oil this may be the reason its moving up and biting the skin maybe?
Great video only part that was confusing was how to sit the spring in correctly 😳 other than that five stars thanks
Glad it helped😃

Hola bro, no sé si entendés esto. Me podrás decir que es el pegamento que le pones a los tornillos para que se deje de mover la cuchilla por favor ?
Barber here. Some customers are getting red marks. I have zero gapped it. Any suggestions?
I’ve been owning one for like 5 months and just recently it started pulling hair
Hey Elvin, that sounds like a dull cutting blade. I suggest sending it out for sharpening. Good luck bro!👍
Did you oil them with clipper oil?
Спасибо за русские субтитры
To zero gap it you don't have to take it completely apart. All you need to do is take it off the head, and then slightly take off the screws if you're not using lock tite and put back on.
My trimmer was due for a deep cleaning. But you aren't wrong.
At risk of rounding the screw heads tightening with the blade still on as you are unable to enter the screw fully vertical
Easy to fix it or So? I recently have bought it.
