4.2 Attaching Guide Combs

To attach a guide comb, hold the comb with the teeth facing upwards. Align the comb with the clipper blade and slide it firmly onto the blade until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely fastened before use.

4.3 Using the Main Clipper

2. Attach the desired color-coded guide comb.
3. Turn on the clipper using the power switch.

1. Turn on the trimmer using the power switch.
2. Hold the trimmer at a slight angle to the skin.

5. Maintenance and Care

5.1 Cleaning the Blades

1. After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper (or remove battery from trimmer).
2. Use the included cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blades and guide combs.
3. For thorough cleaning, the blades can be carefully removed (refer to specific instructions in the full manual if available) and rinsed under running water, then dried completely before reattaching. Ensure the motor unit does not get wet.

5.2 Oiling the Blades

To maintain cutting performance and extend blade life, apply 2-3 drops of Wahl clipper oil to the blades before and after each use. Turn on the clipper for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly.
