User Instruction Manual
Introduction
This manual provides comprehensive instructions for the proper use, maintenance, and care of your Moser / Ermila / Wahl 1230-5400 Variable Plastic Attachment Comb. This accessory is designed to be used with compatible hair clippers to achieve various hair cutting lengths. Please read this manual thoroughly before first use to ensure optimal performance and longevity of the product.
Product Overview

The Moser 1230-5400 variable plastic attachment comb is a black, multi-pronged accessory designed to clip onto compatible hair clippers. It features a sliding mechanism that allows for easy adjustment of cutting lengths, typically ranging from 4mm to 18mm. The comb is constructed from durable plastic and is specifically engineered to fit various Moser, Ermila, and Wahl clipper models, ensuring a secure and precise fit for consistent cutting results.
The attachment comb features a robust design with clearly marked length settings. Its primary function is to guide the hair into the clipper blades at a uniform distance, enabling precise and even haircuts at desired lengths.
Setup
- Compatibility Check: Ensure your hair clipper is one of the compatible models: Type 1852, 1853, 1234, 1233, 1230, 1400, or 1170.
- Clean Clipper Blades: Before attaching the comb, ensure the clipper blades are clean and free of hair or debris. Refer to your clipper's manual for cleaning instructions.
- Attach the Comb: Align the attachment comb with the clipper head. Gently slide the comb onto the clipper blades until it clicks securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated and does not wobble.
- Verify Attachment: Lightly tug on the comb to confirm it is securely attached to the clipper. It should not detach easily.
Note: Never force the attachment comb onto the clipper. If it does not fit easily, re-check compatibility and alignment.
Operating Instructions
- Select Cutting Length: Locate the adjustment mechanism on the attachment comb. Slide the mechanism to select your desired cutting length, typically indicated in millimeters (e.g., 4mm, 9mm, 14mm, 18mm). Ensure the setting locks into place.
- Prepare Hair: For best results, ensure the hair is clean, dry, and detangled before cutting.
- Begin Cutting: Turn on your hair clipper. Hold the clipper with the attachment comb flat against the scalp or desired area. Move the clipper slowly and steadily against the direction of hair growth.
- Overlap Strokes: Overlap each stroke slightly to ensure an even cut and avoid missed spots.
- Check Progress: Periodically turn off the clipper and comb through the hair to check for evenness and desired length.
- Change Length (if needed): If you need to change the cutting length during the process, turn off the clipper, adjust the comb setting, and then resume cutting.
Caution: Always ensure the clipper is turned off before adjusting or removing the attachment comb to prevent accidental injury or damage.
Maintenance
- Cleaning After Each Use:
- Turn off and unplug the clipper.
- Carefully remove the attachment comb from the clipper.
- Use a small brush (often supplied with clippers) to remove any trapped hair from the comb and the clipper blades.
- The plastic attachment comb can be rinsed under cool running water. Ensure it is completely dry before reattaching or storing.
- Storage: Store the attachment comb in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keeping it with your clipper is recommended to prevent loss.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the comb for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. A damaged comb can affect cutting performance and potentially cause injury. Replace if damaged.
