Operating Instructions
Attaching and Removing Guide Combs
The Colour Pro clipper features innovative color-coded guide combs that correspond to a color key on the clipper body, making it easy to select your desired cutting length (from 3mm to 25mm).
- Ensure the clipper is switched off.
- Select the desired color-coded guide comb.
- Hold the comb with the teeth facing upwards.
- Align the comb with the clipper blade and slide it firmly onto the blade until it clicks into place.
- To remove, gently pull the comb upwards and away from the blade.

Using the Taper Lever
The taper lever allows for greater variation in cutting lengths without changing guide combs. It is located on the side of the clipper.
- Lever Up: Provides the shortest cut (closest to the blade).
- Lever Down: Provides the longest cut (when no guide comb is attached, or adds length when a comb is attached).
- You can adjust the lever incrementally to blend hair and achieve precise cutting lengths.

General Hair Cutting Tips
- For best results, start with clean, dry hair.
- Always begin with a longer guide comb and gradually reduce the length if desired.
- Cut against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
- Use smooth, overlapping strokes.
- Regularly tap or brush hair clippings from the blades during use.
Maintenance
Cleaning the Blades
- After each use, switch off the clipper and remove any attached guide comb.
- Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away loose hairs from the blades.
- For a more thorough cleaning, the blades can be removed (refer to specific instructions if provided in a full manual, otherwise proceed with caution).
Oiling the Blades
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your clipper, oil the blades regularly.
- After cleaning, apply 2-3 drops of Wahl clipper oil (or a suitable light machine oil) across the top of the blades.
- Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly.
- Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.
Storage
Store the clipper and its accessories in the provided storage case in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight.
