Setup
- Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge the clipper for approximately 120 minutes. Connect the charging adapter to the clipper and plug it into a suitable power outlet. The charging indicator light will show the charging status.
- Attaching Guide Combs: Select the desired guide comb for your preferred cutting length. Align the comb with the clipper blade and push it firmly until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely attached before use.
- Blade Lubrication: Apply a small drop of the provided lubricating oil to the blades before each use. This ensures smooth operation and extends blade life.
Operating Instructions
The Valera Absolut Zero clipper can be used cordlessly or while connected to the power adapter for continuous operation.
General Usage Tips:
- Ensure hair is clean and dry before trimming for best results.
- Hold the clipper firmly and move it against the direction of hair growth.
- Use light, even pressure. Do not press too hard against the skin.
- For a 0.1 mm 'zero level' cut, remove any guide comb and use the bare blade directly on the skin. Exercise caution, especially on sensitive areas.
Hair Trimming:
Attach the appropriate guide comb. Start with a longer comb if you are unsure of the desired length. Work from the bottom upwards, lifting the hair with the comb and guiding the clipper through.
Beard and Body Trimming:
For beard and body hair, you can use the guide combs for longer styles or the bare blade for a very close trim. Always stretch the skin taut in sensitive areas to prevent nicks and cuts.
Maintenance
Regular cleaning and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and extend the life of your Valera Absolut Zero clipper.
- Cleaning the Blades: After each use, switch off the clipper and detach any guide comb. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hairs from the blades and the clipper head.
- Lubricating the Blades: After cleaning, apply 1-2 drops of the lubricating oil to the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This reduces friction and keeps the blades sharp.
- Cleaning the Body: Wipe the body of the clipper with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the clipper in water.
- Storage: Store the clipper and its accessories in a dry, safe place, away from children.
