Oster 76076-010 Hair Trimmer - Page 5 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

i had the same problem and i fixed mine ( it is not broken) ... the tongue is the thing that is silver and has grooves that face upward, the tongue should be up compared to pressed against the shave, take a small screw driver or a kitchen knife and get under the tongue and lift it up, once this is done you need to slide it on the blades and snap it down, i found that i did not need to have the clippers on to put it back on.... at first i got confused in thinking that the tongue was the red thing at the top, and in actuality this is the thing that moves the blades to clip.... i hope this helps, once you get the tongue up the blades are on in 10 seconds...

How do I do maintanience on my clipper to keep them running good

its my trimmers... they werent dropped n got loud all of a sudden

try hitting them when thay are runing with your hand on the sid and bottom see what happens somtimes the brass bearing gets out of alinment or it can be the bushing on ether end.you can call me at 813-310-6211 jaime i rebuild them thats florida time.

change the carbons

if you have a single speed (on off) clipper, it should only have 2 wires which go on either way. If you have a 2 speed (off low high) clipper there should be 3 wires, and they must go on exactly as they were. you won't blow anything up if you wire it wrong you just wont have 2 speeds . . just keep turning them around till you get it right.

Be sure to oil the blade and install it with the clipper running so that it seats correctly

if theres a plastic screw on the side try adjusting it like the manual says to do

Send it back for refund. Nothing in a clipper should overheat like that. Buy the best, buy Wahl..Oster make kitchen small appliances. Wow, I just Googled these and they are $210! Looks like made for Pro use, however the overheating issue is a known fault mentioned here on Fixya and in reviews.https://www.google.com/search?safe=off&rlz=1C1QJDB_enCA643CA644&sxsrf=ALeKk01wxC5WCeRaj1QnQ36Nj7aY94IU5g%3A1612122391802&ei=FwkXYLzEMK29ggfh8bmgCw&q=oster+A5+turbo+2+speed+overheating..

It is unlikely you will find a wiring diagram for an old model. It should be a simple wiring where the plug wires split and one goes to a switch and then from the switch a wire goes to the motor. The other plug wire goes to the motor. The unit probably doesn't have a polarized plug, so no need to know which side of the plug wire goes to the switch and which goes to the motor.

clean and lube gears and blades

You should not need to grease the clipper before use as that is done in the factory. You DO need to oil the blades before each as stated in your user manual.
