2. Blade Adjustment (Zero-Gapping)

The GTX T-Outliner features deep-tooth carbon steel blades that can be adjusted for a 'zero-gapped' cut, providing an extremely close shave. This adjustment should be performed with caution to avoid skin irritation. Refer to the video below for a visual guide on the product's features, which may include blade adjustment.

3. Initial Oiling

Before first use, apply a few drops of clipper oil to the blades. This ensures smooth operation and prolongs blade life. See the Maintenance section for detailed oiling instructions.

3. Trimming Techniques

• For outlining and detailing, hold the trimmer at a slight angle to the skin and use light, controlled strokes.
• For general trimming, move the trimmer against the direction of hair growth.
• The bump-free technology and diamond-finished T-Blades are designed to provide a super-close, clean shave without causing razor bumps or irritation when used correctly.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning the Blades

After each use, brush off any loose hair from the blades. For a more thorough cleaning, use a damp cloth to wipe the blades. Ensure the trimmer is unplugged before cleaning.

2. Oiling the Blades

To maintain optimal cutting performance and prevent blade wear, oil the blades regularly. Apply 2-3 drops of clipper oil across the top of the blades while the trimmer is running. Wipe off any excess oil. This helps keep the blades sharp and reduces friction and heat buildup.

3. Storage

Store the trimmer in a dry place, away from moisture. The heavy-duty cord includes a hanger loop for convenient storage.

Troubleshooting

• Trimmer gets hot: This can occur during extended use. Ensure blades are clean and properly oiled. Allow the trimmer to cool down if it becomes excessively hot.
• Blades snagging or pulling hair: This often indicates dull blades or insufficient oiling. Clean and oil the blades. If the issue persists, blade replacement may be necessary.
• Uneven cut: Ensure blades are properly aligned. Clean any hair buildup that might be interfering with blade movement.
• Trimmer not turning on: Check the power cord connection and the power outlet. Ensure the switch is fully engaged.
