The Andis AG 2-Speed+ 12845 is a corded detachable-blade clipper for animal grooming, with two motor settings for different stages of a cut. Its rotary motor operates at 2,700 or 3,400 strokes per minute. The normal setting handles routine clipping, while the higher setting provides a faster blade stroke for heavier coats.

The AG2 runs on a 120 V, 60 Hz supply, so grooming time is not limited by a rechargeable battery. The body measures 7 × 2 × 1.63 inches and weighs 16 oz. Andis describes its design as balanced for control when moving between body clipping and more detailed work.

A detachable blade system lets you change the cutting assembly and gain access for routine cleaning. Andis identifies compatibility with its UltraEdge, CeramicEdge and M Force detachable blade systems. Select the appropriate blade for the required cutting length and check the fitting instructions when changing it. The documented package includes a detachable blade, blade oil and power cord.

Regular blade care helps maintain the clipper's cutting action. With the machine switched off and unplugged, remove loose hair from the blade and the cavity beneath it. Oil the cutting blades before, during and after use, then wipe away surplus oil with a soft dry cloth. Monitor blade temperature throughout a groom, particularly when using a close-cutting blade, and follow the manual's cooling guidance.

The motor mechanism is lubricated at the factory. Keep routine maintenance focused on the blade and the procedures in the AG2 instructions, with other servicing handled by Andis or an authorized service provider.
