A clipper blade guard is used to determine how short or long of a cut you apply. Example, when you go to a barber and ask for a "number 2", he changes the clipper blade guard accordingly.
A clip-point blade is like a normal blade with the back "clipped" or concavely formed to make the tip thinner and sharper.
To replace the blade on an Oster Model 274 series A clipper, first, ensure the clipper is unplugged for safety. Remove the blade by loosening the screws on the blade attachment using a screwdriver, then carefully lift it off. Align the new blade with the clipper's base and secure it in place by tightening the screws. Finally, double-check that the blade is securely attached before plugging in the clipper and using it.
You can use any blade on any clipper, so long as you use the correct size.
