Setup Guide
1. Initial Charging
- Before first use, ensure the clipper is fully charged.
- Connect the USB charging cable to the clipper's charging port and plug the other end into a compatible USB power adapter (DC5V 1A recommended).
- The LED display will indicate charging status. A full charge takes approximately 3 hours.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the clipper from the power source.
2. Attaching Guide Combs
- Ensure the clipper is turned off before attaching or detaching guide combs.
- Select the desired cutting length guide comb (1.5mm, 3mm, 4.5mm, 6mm, 10mm, or 13mm).
- Align the guide comb with the clipper blade and push it firmly until it clicks into place.
- To remove, gently pull the comb away from the blade.
3. Blade Preparation
- Before each use, ensure the blades are clean and lightly oiled. Although lubricant is not included due to airline regulations, applying a small amount of clipper oil to the blades will ensure smooth operation and prolong blade life.

Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
- To turn on the clipper, slide the power switch to the "ON" position. The LED display will light up.
- To turn off, slide the power switch to the "OFF" position.
2. Hair Cutting
- Ensure hair is clean and dry (for dry cutting) or evenly damp (for wet cutting).
- Attach the desired guide comb for your preferred hair length. For shorter cuts, you may use the clipper without a guide comb (0.5-1mm).
- Hold the clipper with the blades pointing downwards and the flat top of the comb resting against the scalp.
- Move the clipper slowly against the direction of hair growth.
- For blending and tapering, use different sized guide combs or adjust the taper lever (if present, not explicitly mentioned but common on clippers).
- Regularly clear accumulated hair from the blades during use to maintain optimal performance.
3. Corded Operation
- If the battery runs low during use, you can connect the USB charging cable and continue using the clipper while it charges.
Care and Maintenance
1. Cleaning the Blades
- After each use, turn off the clipper and remove the guide comb.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away any loose hair from the blades and the clipper body.
- The blades are designed for washing under water. You may rinse the blade head under running water. Ensure the clipper body remains dry.
- Allow the blades to air dry completely before reattaching the protective cap or storing.
2. Oiling the Blades
- For optimal performance and longevity, apply 1-2 drops of clipper oil (not included) to the blades after every few uses, or if the clipper feels sluggish.
- Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly.
- Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.
3. Storage
- Store the clipper in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Always place the protective cap over the blades when not in use to prevent damage.
- Keep out of reach of children.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clipper does not turn on. | Battery is depleted. | Charge the clipper for 3 hours. |

User Tips
- For best results, always start with a longer guide comb and gradually switch to shorter ones until the desired length is achieved.
- When cutting, move the clipper at a steady, even pace to ensure a consistent cut.
- Clean and oil the blades regularly to maintain sharpness and prevent hair pulling.
