3. Package Contents
Please refer to your product packaging for a complete and accurate list of all included components and accessories in your Oster Outlaw 2-Speed Super Duty Clipper Kit.
4. Setup
Before first use, ensure all components are present and undamaged. The clipper operates via a power cord.
- Unpack: Carefully remove the clipper and all accessories from the packaging.
- Inspect: Check the clipper, power cord, and blades for any signs of damage. Do not use if damaged.
- Attach Blade: Ensure the clipper is unplugged. Align the blade with the clipper head and snap it into place securely. Refer to the blade manufacturer's instructions for specific attachment details if necessary.
- Initial Oiling: Apply a few drops of clipper oil (typically included in the kit) to the blade teeth before the first use. This ensures smooth operation and prolongs blade life.
- Connect Power: Plug the power cord into a suitable electrical outlet.
5. Operating Instructions
The Oster Outlaw clipper features two speed settings for optimal control across various grooming tasks.
- Power On/Off: Locate the power switch on the clipper body. Toggle it to the 'ON' position to start the clipper.
- Speed Selection: The clipper offers two speeds. Use the lower speed for precision work, sensitive areas, or lighter coats. The higher speed is suitable for heavy-duty clipping, thicker coats, or faster removal of hair. Adjust the speed according to the coat type and desired outcome.
- Grooming Technique: Always hold the clipper firmly. Move the clipper against the direction of hair growth for best results. Maintain a consistent angle and pressure. Ensure the blade remains cool by periodically checking its temperature and applying oil as needed.
- Vent-Free Design: The vent-free housing prevents hair from blowing into the motor, contributing to a cleaner work area and cooler operation.
6. Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your clipper.
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, unplug the clipper. Use a small brush (often included) to remove loose hair from the blades. For thorough cleaning, detach the blade and use a blade wash solution or a mild disinfectant. Ensure blades are completely dry before reattaching or storing.
- Oiling Blades: Apply 2-3 drops of clipper oil to the blade teeth before, during (if blades become warm), and after each use. This lubricates the blades, reduces friction, prevents rust, and helps dissipate heat.
- Clipper Body Cleaning: Wipe the clipper body with a clean, damp cloth. Do not immerse the clipper in water or use harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the clipper in a clean, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Keep the power cord neatly coiled to prevent damage.
