Setup

1. Initial Blade Oiling: Before first use, apply 2-3 drops of the included Wahl clipper oil across the top of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute. Wipe off any excess oil with a clean cloth. This ensures optimal performance and blade longevity.

2. Connecting to Power: Ensure the clipper is switched off before plugging it into a suitable electrical outlet. The clipper is corded and requires continuous power during operation.

Operating Instructions

Attaching Guide Combs

To attach a guide comb, hold the comb with the teeth facing up and slide it onto the clipper blade until it clicks securely into place. To remove, gently pull the comb away from the blade.

Using the Taper Lever

The taper lever, located on the side of the clipper, allows for adjusting the closeness of the cut without changing guide combs. Move the lever up for a closer cut and down for a longer cut. This is useful for blending and fading.

Haircutting Techniques

1. Preparation: Ensure hair is clean, dry, and free of tangles. Use a comb to detangle if necessary.
2. Starting the Cut: Begin with a longer guide comb than desired to familiarize yourself with the clipper and to avoid cutting too short initially.
3. Cutting Motion: Hold the clipper firmly with the teeth of the guide comb flat against the head. Move the clipper slowly and steadily against the direction of hair growth. Overlap strokes to ensure an even cut.

4. Blending: Use the taper lever or progressively shorter guide combs to blend different hair lengths.
5. Edging and Outlining: For precise lines around the neckline and ears, remove the guide comb and use the bare blade. Hold the clipper at an angle and carefully trim.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Blades

1. After Each Use: Turn off and unplug the clipper. Use the cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blades.
2. Deep Cleaning (Periodically): For thorough cleaning, the blades can be removed. Refer to the Wahl website or contact customer support for specific instructions on blade removal and reattachment for your model.

Oiling the Blades

To maintain cutting efficiency and prevent rust, oil the blades regularly (after every few uses or as needed). Apply 2-3 drops of Wahl clipper oil across the top of the blades while the clipper is running. Wipe off excess oil.

Storage

Store the clipper and all accessories in the provided storage case in a cool, dry place, out of reach of children.
