Operating Instructions

Legend Clipper Operation

The Legend Clipper is equipped with a powerful V9000 motor and an extended wide-range fading lever, making it ideal for soft line fading, seamless blending, and bulk hair removal.

• Power On/Off: Use the side switch to turn the clipper on or off.
• Adjusting Taper: The adjustable taper lever allows for varying cutting lengths without changing guide combs, facilitating precise fading and blending. Move the lever up for a shorter cut and down for a longer cut.
• Cutting Techniques: For best results, use a smooth, even motion against the direction of hair growth. Overlap strokes slightly to ensure an even cut.

Hero T-Blade Trimmer Operation

The Hero T-Blade Trimmer features a powerful rotary motor and a sharp T-blade, designed for extremely close trimming, creating crisp lines, edging, and precise detailing around the beard or neckline.

• Power On/Off: Use the side switch to turn the trimmer on or off.
• Detailing: The narrow T-blade is perfect for intricate designs, custom styles, and detailed hair tattooing. Hold the trimmer at an angle to create sharp lines.
• Edging: Use the edge of the blade to create clean, defined lines around the hairline, beard, and sideburns.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Wahl Professional tools.

1. Cleaning: After each use, use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hair that has accumulated between the blades and the clipper/trimmer housing.
2. Disinfecting: Regularly disinfect the blades using a clipper disinfectant spray (e.g., Wahl Clini-Clip Cleaner) to kill bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Follow the product's instructions for application.
3. Oiling: Apply a few drops of Wahl Blade Oil to the blades after every few uses or as needed. This reduces friction, prevents rust, and ensures smooth operation. Turn on the device for a few seconds to distribute the oil.
4. Wiping: Wipe away any excess oil from the blades and housing with a soft, dry cloth.
5. Storage: Store the clipper and trimmer in a clean, dry place, preferably in their original packaging or a protective case, away from moisture and extreme temperatures.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your Wahl Professional tools, refer to the following common solutions:

• Device Not Turning On:

  • Check the power switch for proper engagement.
• Poor Cutting Performance / Pulling Hair:
  • Clean the blades thoroughly to remove any accumulated hair or debris.
