Operating Instructions
- Prepare Hair: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles.
- Select Cutting Length: If using a guide comb, ensure it is securely attached. For closer cuts and fading, the clipper features an adjustable blade lever. Move the lever to adjust the cutting height between 0.8 mm and 2.5 mm, or manually adjust to '0' for the closest cut.
- Turn On: Flip the power switch to the 'ON' position. The clipper will start operating.
- Begin Cutting: Hold the clipper firmly and move it gently against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, overlapping strokes for an even cut.
- Fading and Blending: Utilize the adjustable blade lever to seamlessly blend different hair lengths. Start with a longer setting and gradually move to shorter settings for a smooth fade.
- Detailing: For precise outlining and detailing, remove the guide comb and use the clipper's bare blade, adjusting the lever for the desired closeness.
- Turn Off: Once finished, flip the power switch to the 'OFF' position and unplug the clipper from the power outlet.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your clipper.
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the included cleaning brush to remove loose hair from the blades. For a more thorough cleaning, the blade head can be carefully removed (refer to manufacturer's instructions for specific removal steps).
- Oiling Blades: Apply 2-3 drops of Wahl clipper oil to the teeth and heel of the blades after every few uses or as needed. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to penetrate. This lubricates the blades and prevents rust.
- Blade Alignment: Periodically check blade alignment. If blades become misaligned, refer to the manufacturer's detailed instructions for proper adjustment to ensure a smooth cut and prevent pulling.
- Storage: Store the clipper in a dry, safe place, out of reach of children. Use the blade guard to protect the blades when not in use.
