Have you had a look in between the blades ? If its full of hair the blades cant slide back and forth. Take a soft brush and remove the hair once all the hair is removed place a small drop of blade oil in the middle of the blades and then switch on for a sec (this works the oil into the blades) switch off and wipe the unused oil off with kitchen roll. You gotta do this ever time you use your clippers. Im a hairdresser and I use Wahl clippers all the time ... I know what you might be saying... a hairdresser Dont laugh but I do know how to look after my clippers and how to use them on really thick hair. Did you get any gaurds with them ? or are you just using them free with no gaurds. You gotta start real slow and go against the hair. If the hairs really thick .... go slow ! and let the blades do their work and keep removing the hair so the blades wont jam. Dont push the blades too hard onto the hair or you will go too deep in sections and just pull on the hair and it will look frazzled at the ends or take big chunks out. Its better to start with a high gaurd and work down and keep removing the hair from the blades as you go. hope this helps.
