Setup

1. Unpack: Carefully remove the clipper and all accessories from the packaging.

3. Clean Blades: Before first use, clean the blades with the provided cleaning brush to remove any manufacturing residue.
4. Oil Blades: Apply a few drops of the included lubricating oil to the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly.
5. Attach Guide Comb (Optional): If a specific cutting length is desired, select the appropriate guide comb and securely attach it to the clipper blade. Ensure it clicks firmly into place.
6. Connect to Power: Plug the 8-foot power cord into a suitable electrical outlet (120V A.C. only).

Operating Instructions

1. Preparation: Ensure hair is clean and free of tangles. For best results, hair should be dry unless using the clipper on wet hair as specified.
2. Power On: Flip the power switch to the "ON" position.
3. Adjust Blade: Use the adjustable lever on the side of the clipper to select the desired cutting length (from Size 000 for very close cutting to Size 1 for medium length).
4. Cutting Hair:
   • Hold the clipper firmly with the blades pointing downwards.
   • Begin cutting against the direction of hair growth, using smooth, overlapping strokes.
   • For blending, use the blending guide comb or adjust the blade lever as needed.
   • Regularly clear cut hair from the blades using the cleaning brush during longer cutting sessions.
5. Power Off: Once finished, flip the power switch to the "OFF" position and unplug the clipper from the outlet.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your OSTER Fast Feed Clipper.

1. Cleaning Blades: After each use, unplug the clipper. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove all loose hair from the blades and the clipper housing.
2. Oiling Blades: Regularly apply a few drops of lubricating oil to the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to spread across the blade surfaces. This reduces friction and heat, maintaining blade sharpness.
3. Blade Removal for Deep Cleaning: The blades can be easily removed for thorough cleaning. Push the blade release lever (if applicable) or gently detach the blade assembly. Clean any accumulated hair or debris from underneath the blades and inside the clipper head. Reattach the blades securely.
4. Cord Care: Avoid wrapping the power cord tightly around the clipper. Store it loosely to prevent damage.

Troubleshooting

• Clipper not turning on:
  • Ensure the power cord is securely plugged into a working electrical outlet.
  • Check the power switch for proper engagement.
• Clipper pulling hair or cutting poorly:
  • Blades may be dull or dirty. Clean and oil the blades thoroughly.
  • Ensure the adjustable blade lever is set correctly for the desired cut.
  • Hair may be tangled or not properly prepared. Comb hair before cutting.
• Clipper getting hot:
  • Blades may need more lubrication. Apply lubricating oil.
  • Excessive hair buildup can cause overheating. Clean the blades and inside the clipper head.
  • Continuous prolonged use can cause heat. Allow the clipper to cool down.
