Abstract

A hair trimmer has a base housing and a blade set having a stationary blade and a reciprocating blade. The base housing has a blade set support at one end. The support has a pair of spaced blade set support projections. A cam follower has spaced spring retainers near a bottom of the cam follower, and spaced spring end catches near an upper edge of the cam follower. A spring has elongated legs and a tension arm. The elongated legs extend under the spring retainers and into the spring end catches in the cam follower. A spring tensioner is secured in the base housing by a latch that engages a tensioner catch. The spring tensioner secures the tension arm so that the spring is under tension.
