Setup
1. Initial Charging
- Before first use, ensure the clipper is fully charged.
- Connect the charging adapter to the clipper's charging port.
- Plug the adapter into a suitable electrical outlet (100-240V AC, 50/60Hz).
- The charging indicator light will illuminate (if present) to show charging is in progress.
- Allow the clipper to charge for approximately 8-12 hours for the first charge. Subsequent charges may take less time.
- Once fully charged, disconnect the adapter from the outlet and the clipper.
2. Attaching Comb Guides
- Select the desired comb attachment for your preferred hair length.
- Align the comb guide with the clipper blade and slide it firmly into place until it clicks.
- To remove, gently push the comb guide upwards and away from the blade.
3. Blade Adjustment
The clipper features an adjustable blade length dial (often located on the side or front of the clipper body). Rotate this dial to fine-tune the cutting length without a comb attachment, or to adjust the base length when a comb is attached.
Operating Instructions
1. Before Clipping
- Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles.
- Comb hair in the direction of growth.
- Apply a small amount of lubricating oil to the blades before each use for optimal performance and longevity.
2. Turning On/Off
Locate the power switch (usually a slide switch) on the clipper body. Slide it to the "ON" position to start the clipper and to the "OFF" position to turn it off.
3. Hair Clipping Techniques
- Always start with a longer comb attachment than you think you need, and gradually reduce the length if desired.
- Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards, flat against the head.
- Move the clipper slowly against the direction of hair growth.
- Overlap each stroke to ensure an even cut.
- For detailing or outlining, remove the comb attachment and use the bare blade, being careful around ears and neckline.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning After Each Use
- Turn off the clipper and disconnect it from the power source.
- Remove any comb attachments.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away loose hairs from the blades and the clipper body.
- For thorough cleaning, the blade set can often be detached. Consult the specific instructions for blade removal if applicable to your model.
- Do not rinse the clipper under water unless explicitly stated as waterproof.
2. Oiling the Blades
- After cleaning and before each use, apply 1-2 drops of the provided lubricating oil to the blades.
- Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly.
- Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.
- Regular oiling ensures smooth operation, reduces friction, and prolongs blade life.
3. Storage
Store the clipper in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep it out of reach of children.
