Clippers buzzing halfway through a fade

Was doing a zero fade on a kid yesterday in Austin. My Andis Master started buzzing loud right at the parietal ridge. Is there a way to fix that on site without losing the whole cut?

Man that's rough, right when you're in the zone too.

Yo did you try unplugging it and blowing out the motor vents? I read somewhere on a barber forum that 90% of the time buzzing in Andis Masters is just hair dust and oil buildup getting inside the pivot. Grab a small brush or even a toothpick to clean around the blade pivot point while the clipper's off. If that doesn't work, a drop of clipper oil right on the pivot and running it for a few seconds usually quiets it down. Had the same thing happen to me mid cut and saved me from having to switch clippers.
