4. Blade Installation
Follow these steps to properly install your new clipper blade:
- Power Off: Ensure your clipper is turned off and unplugged from the power source before beginning installation.
- Remove Old Blade: Using a screwdriver, carefully loosen and remove the two screws holding the old blade assembly to the clipper housing. Set aside the old blade and screws.
- Clean Clipper: Clean any hair or debris from the clipper's blade area using a brush.
- Position New Blade: Place the new Wahl Professional 2-Hole Standard Clipper Blade onto the clipper, aligning the holes in the blade with the screw holes on the clipper. Ensure the small moving blade is correctly seated on the drive lever.
- Secure Blade: Insert the screws and tighten them just enough to hold the blade in place, allowing for slight adjustment.
- Align Blades: Adjust the blade to ensure the top blade (cutter) is perfectly aligned with the bottom blade (comb), with the teeth of the top blade slightly behind the teeth of the bottom blade. This prevents cutting the skin.
- Final Tightening: Once aligned, firmly tighten both screws. Do not overtighten.
- Lubricate: Apply a few drops of Wahl clipper oil to the teeth of the new blade.

5. Maintenance
Proper maintenance is crucial for extending the life and performance of your clipper blade.
5.1 Oiling the Blades
Regular oiling reduces friction, prevents rusting, and ensures smooth cutting performance. Wahl's high-carbon blades benefit significantly from consistent lubrication.
- Apply Oil: With the clipper turned off, apply a drop of Wahl clipper oil to each corner of the top blade and one drop to the foot of the blade.
- Distribute Oil: Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to work its way into the blades.
- Wipe Excess: Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth.
It is recommended to oil your blades before or after each use, especially if the clipper feels sluggish or pulls hair.

5.2 Cleaning the Blades
After each use, brush off any loose hair from the blades. For a deeper clean, especially after prolonged use or if hair buildup is noticeable:
- Brush Off Hair: Use a small cleaning brush to remove hair from between the blade teeth.
- Disinfect (Optional): For professional use, consider using a clipper disinfectant spray (e.g., Wahl Clini-Clip Spray) to sanitize the blades. Follow the product's instructions.
- Re-oil: Always re-oil the blades after cleaning or disinfecting to prevent rust and maintain lubrication.
