Using the Taper Lever
The adjustable taper lever allows for easy blending and fading. Move the lever up for a closer cut and down for a longer cut. This feature is essential for achieving seamless transitions between different hair lengths.

General Haircutting Tips
- Always start with clean, dry hair.
- For best results, cut against the direction of hair growth.
- Use a larger guide comb first, then gradually switch to smaller sizes if a shorter cut is desired.
- Overlap strokes to ensure an even cut.
- Use the barber cape to keep hair off clothing.
- For blending, use the taper lever to gradually adjust the cutting length.
- For detailing and outlining, remove the guide comb and use the bare blade carefully.

Maintenance
Cleaning: After each use, brush loose hairs from the blades using the cleaning brush. For a more thorough cleaning, the blades can be removed (refer to the full user guide for detailed instructions) and rinsed, then dried completely before reattaching.
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 and along the sides. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil, then wipe off any excess.
Storage: Store the clipper and all accessories in the provided handled storage case in a dry, cool place.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Clipper does not turn on. | Not plugged in; power outlet issue. | Ensure clipper is securely plugged into a working outlet. Test outlet with another appliance. |
| Clipper pulls or snags hair. | Blades are dull, dirty, or not oiled; hair is wet or tangled. | Clean and oil blades. Ensure hair is clean and dry. If blades are dull, consider replacement or professional sharpening. |
| Clipper is excessively loud or vibrates. | Power screw needs adjustment. | Use the plastic brush, a screwdriver, or a thin coin to turn the power screw clockwise until the arm strikes the coil, making a noise. Then, slowly turn the power screw counter-clockwise just until the noise stops. This is the maximum power setting. |
| Guide comb falls off. | Not securely attached; clip is damaged. | Ensure the stainless steel clips are fully engaged. If the clip is damaged, replace the guide comb. |
