* Normally I would suggest cleaning and tightening the 2 blade holder screws as in a normal "Human" hair clipper. But I noticed this pet clipper uses a snap on blade (or a combo blade as shone in "Blade Maint" video. Looks like it's mostly cleaning though I have seen other vids with clippers going dull during pet "rescues" having to trim matted hair. One lady used 2 blades and ending up using a 3d blade. It could be just that; really thick dirty hair. Dirt and grime is a collection of stone dust and oils after all.

There is a small button at the bottom edge of the blade, push it in and at the same time push the blade teeth away from the clipper. The blade will hinge away from the clipper, you then lift the blade up off the tongue. When fitting another blade pop it onto the tongue, turn the clipper on and snap the blade shut.
Not a clipper adjustment problem, Has the clipper had a new hinge fitted?
Once a blade has been successfully fitted to your clipper will it go back on easier? ( this is normal as the clipper will make the blade socket the right width?
You should only connect a blade whilst the clipper is running so that the lever can locate into the blade.
With the clipper running, grasp the blade set by the edges and flip it down away from the clipper on its hinge. Simply slide it forward off the tang and slide another blade while the clipper is running. Snap it up toward the clipper and you're set.
With the hinge of the clipper facing you:
Make sure hinge is open, if it is not, prize it open with a flat head screwdriver.
Slide the blade on with the blade siz/number faceing you.
Snap shut.
If this fails, try again, but push the latch in as you snap them shut.
If this fails, you may need repair! www.sheareaseltd.com
The A5 clipper should have a locking hinge the hinge should be open and slide the clipper blade onto the hinge, now push on the clipper blade bachward and it will snap on. if you don't hear a snap sound the hinge on the clipper maybe worn out and don't have no spring tension.
It sounds like you may have a bent hinge which is what the blade slides onto. Please call Andis customer service at 1-800-558-9441 to speak with a customer service rep. They can give you instructions on where to purchase a new hinge or send or clippers in for repair.
