Setup

1. Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge your clipper. Connect the power supply to the clipper's charging port and plug it into a suitable electrical outlet. The indicator light will show charging status. A full charge provides approximately 100 minutes of cordless run time.
2. Oiling Blades: Apply a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the blades before each use. Turn the clipper on to distribute the oil evenly, then wipe off any excess. This ensures smooth operation and extends blade life.
3. Attaching Cutting Guides: Select the desired cutting guide (comb attachment) for your preferred hair length. Align the guide with the clipper blade and snap it securely into place. Ensure it is firmly attached before operating.

Operating Instructions

1. Power On/Off: To turn the clipper on, slide the power switch to the 'ON' position. To turn it off, slide the switch to the 'OFF' position.
2. Corded/Cordless Operation: The clipper can be used cordlessly after charging or directly plugged into an outlet for continuous power.
3. Adjusting Taper Lever: The adjustable taper lever allows for varying cutting lengths without changing the guide comb. Move the lever up for a closer cut and down for a longer cut. This is ideal for blending and fading.
4. Cutting Techniques: For best results, always cut against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, overlapping strokes. Start with a longer guide comb and gradually switch to shorter ones if a closer cut is desired.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning Blades: After each use, remove the guide comb and use the cleaning brush to brush away any loose hair from the blades. For thorough cleaning, the blades can be detached and rinsed under water, ensuring they are completely dry before reattaching.
2. Oiling Blades: Regularly oil the blades with Wahl Clipper Oil to maintain sharpness and prevent rust. Apply 2-3 drops across the top blade and 1 drop on each side of the bottom blade. Run the clipper for a few seconds to distribute the oil.
3. Storage: Store the clipper and its accessories in the provided travel case in a cool, dry place. Ensure the blade guard is in place to protect the blades when not in use.

Troubleshooting

• Clipper Not Turning On: Ensure the clipper is fully charged or properly plugged into a working power outlet. Check the power switch for proper engagement.
• Clipper Pulling Hair: This often indicates dull blades or insufficient oiling. Clean and oil the blades. If the issue persists, consider replacing the blades.
• Poor Cutting Performance: Ensure the blades are clean and oiled. Check that the cutting guide is correctly attached. If the blades are worn, replacement may be necessary.
• Battery Not Holding Charge: Ensure the charger is functioning correctly and the charging port is clean. If the battery life has significantly diminished over time, it may indicate the end of the battery's lifespan.
