Quick answer
To install a click lever on a clipper, first remove the old lever by prying it off with a flathead screwdriver, then snap the new lever into place until it clicks securely.
What you need before you start
You only need a small flathead screwdriver and a replacement click lever. The Click Lever 3-pack from Gamma + includes three levers in Gold, Rose Gold, and Chrome finishes, making it easy to match or update the look of your clipper.
Make sure the clipper is unplugged or has its battery removed before you begin. This prevents accidental starts and keeps your fingers safe.
Steps to install the click lever
- Remove the old lever: Insert the tip of a small flathead screwdriver under the edge of the old lever. Gently pry upward until the lever pops off. If it feels stuck, work the screwdriver around the perimeter to loosen it. Common mistake: prying too hard can scratch the clipper body. Use a cloth under the screwdriver if needed.
- Align the new lever: Take your new click lever and position it over the mounting post on the clipper. Ensure the lever's slot aligns with the post. For the Gamma + Click Lever, the slot is designed to fit standard click mechanisms. Check that the lever sits flat against the clipper before pressing down.
- Snap the lever into place: Press firmly on the center of the lever until you hear a click. This indicates the lever is fully seated. Give it a gentle tug to confirm it is secure. If it does not click, remove the lever and recheck alignment. Forcing it can break the lever or the clipper.
- Test the lever: Plug in or reinstall the battery on your clipper. Operate the lever a few times to ensure it moves smoothly and engages the blade properly. A sticking lever may indicate misalignment. Remove and reinstall the lever.
