4. Setup

4.1 Initial Charging

Before first use, fully charge your Wahl Beret clipper. Connect the power adapter to the charging stand, then place the clipper into the stand. The charging indicator light will illuminate. A full charge provides approximately 75 minutes of cordless runtime. The clipper can also be used directly with the cord if the battery is depleted.

4.2 Attaching Guide Combs

To attach a guide comb, align the comb with the clipper blade and push it firmly until it clicks into place. To remove, gently pull the comb away from the blade. The included 4 attachment combs allow for various cutting lengths and styles.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Powering On/Off

To turn the clipper on, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. To turn it off, slide the switch to the 'OFF' position.

5.2 Corded and Cordless Operation

The Wahl Beret clipper can be used with or without the power cord. For cordless operation, ensure the battery is charged. For corded operation, connect the power adapter directly to the clipper or use it while the clipper is in the charging stand.

5.3 Trimming Techniques

For best results, start with clean, dry hair. Use the appropriate guide comb for your desired length. For outlining and close trimming, use the clipper without a guide comb. Hold the clipper at a slight angle against the skin and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth. The ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip and precise control for accurate grooming.

6. Maintenance and Cleaning

6.1 Blade Cleaning

After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the cleaning brush to remove any loose hairs from the blades. For a more thorough cleaning, the precision blades feature a quick-change system, allowing for easy removal and reattachment.

6.2 Blade Oiling

To maintain optimal cutting performance and extend blade life, oil the blades after every few haircuts. Apply 2-3 drops of Wahl Clipper Oil across the top of the blades while the clipper is running. Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.

• Clipper not turning on: Ensure the clipper is fully charged or connected to the power cord. Check if the power switch is in the 'ON' position.
• Poor cutting performance: Clean the blades thoroughly to remove any trapped hair. Apply blade oil as described in the maintenance section. Ensure blades are properly aligned.
• Battery not charging: Verify that the power adapter is securely connected to both the charging stand and a working power outlet. Ensure the clipper is correctly seated in the charging stand.
• Excessive noise or vibration: Clean and oil the blades. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
