My Oster Golden A5 Double Speed clipper is not cutting the hair on my dog?
I bought an Oster Golden A5 new in a pet store in 2000. It did not work reliably out of the box- needed constant tweaking of the blade tension screws. It sat on a shelf for 15 years while I paid for many grooming sessions. Over the years I would try to get it to work; in 2015, I bought a generic brand #5 blade from a beauty supply, and it refuses to cut no matter what I do. Today, I spent 40 bucks on an Andis #10 and low and behold it cuts like a dream. Went back to the store and bought a #5 FC and it also cuts like a dream. So all my troubles were caused by 2 blades that were defective right out of the box...
My charger for my Oster is not charging the unit
I received this trimmer free when purchasing another corded trimmer. It worked until the battery died. I found the charger’s 2200 mfd capacitor needed replacement . Once replaced the charger output was 3.3 volts at 145 Ma. The charger says it should be 1.3 volts. The higher voltage will overheat the battery and shorten its life. The other problem was the switch in the trimmer not making contact. I opened the unit cleaned the copper on the circuit board and bent the spring terminals on the switch. The trimmer works. The dog died but we have four more!
I'm looking for an owners manual for Oster electric knife and scissor sharpener model 522
eBay sale item may be similar to yours with a manual:https://www.ebay.com/itm/VINTAGE-OSTER-Double-Action-Electric-Knife-Sharpener-W-Manual-USA-Model-522-/153587369882For link below, registration is required, and I have not personally registered to verify it. Apparently a 1950's device that may need to be serviced or replaced. https://free-downloads.online/7711-0-c5e0c2f6/signup-blitz/#/theme=dark/c_bg={c_bg_enc}/z=51155/dp=2906786074.538571.44fa3ae453.33665.1c1e01e67e064c41c94abed63baaec57/q=Oster+knife+sharpener+manual/
Where can I view the wiring diagram for my vintage knife and scissor sharpener Oster model522
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.
Oster fast feeds snagging clients. how do I remedy the problem?
Hello, Albert -
Clarification: You are asking about an Oster brand Fast-Feed hair clipper. Apparently when you use it on hair cutting clients, the clipper "clips" their skin.
If I am correct in my guess, then . . .
I have found some reviews of the hair clippers which mention the clipper guard combs, which come with the clippers , which may cause problems.
These are links to 2 reviews:
https://www.myhairclippers.com/oster-fast-feed-adjustable-pivot-motor-clipper-review/
and
https://choicebarber.com/oster-fast-feed-review-2017/
The second review includes a recommendation to purchase other clipper guards to use instead of those which come with the hair clipper.
Some of the "clipping" problems may be user error (you), too. You may wish to find and watch some instructive videos. To find such videos, use your favorite search engine (Google, Bing, Yahoo Search, etc.) and the following search phrase, using quotation marks as shown:

Best wishes.
Hi give me a favor my oster A5 without blade noise when you just start after that run normal ?
LOVE IT! Finally after having 5 shavers around the house that do not cut my cats hair, I found this! My cat is a longhair cat that has very thin fur and this works very well for her. I used to spend a lot of money at the vets for them to sedate and shave her. Now I have been using this and it works so good. If you are looking for a shaver that works, this would be the best! The only drawback would be it gets hot kind of fast but not a big deal. Also shave at a angle it works better for getting a close cut
