4. Setup
4.1 Initial Charging
Before first use, fully charge your clipper. Connect the power supply to the clipper and plug it into an appropriate electrical outlet. The clipper features a Lithium Ion battery with approximately 100 minutes of run time and a 60-minute charge time. An indicator light will typically show charging status.
4.2 Attaching Cutting Guides
To attach a cutting guide, align the guide with the clipper blade and snap it securely into place. Ensure it is firmly seated before use. To remove, gently pull the guide away from the blade.
4.3 Blade Oiling
Before each use, apply a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the teeth and heel of the blade. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly. This ensures optimal cutting performance and blade longevity.
5. Operating Instructions
5.1 Powering On/Off
To turn the clipper ON, push the power switch to the 'I' position. To turn it OFF, push the switch to the 'O' position.
5.2 Adjusting the Taper Lever
The adjustable taper lever allows for varying cutting lengths without changing cutting guides. Move the lever up for a closer cut and down for a longer cut. This feature is particularly useful for blending and fading.
5.3 Cutting Techniques
The Wahl 5 Star Legend Cordless Clipper is equipped with a unique Wedge blade designed for seamless cutting and blending. Its deep tooth design allows for a wider range in cut lengths, facilitating smooth fades. The Crunch Blade Technology produces an audible sound during cutting, which can assist in ensuring no hair is missed and achieving a polished finish.

For best results, always work against the direction of hair growth. Use a clean, dry comb to lift hair into the cutting path. Start with a longer cutting guide and gradually move to shorter ones if desired.
6. Maintenance
6.1 Cleaning the Blades
After each use, brush away loose hair from the blades using the provided cleaning brush. For thorough cleaning, the blades can be removed (refer to blade removal instructions in the full manual, if applicable) and cleaned with a blade cleaner solution.
6.2 Oiling the Blades
Regular oiling is crucial for maintaining blade sharpness and preventing rust. After cleaning and before storage, apply 2-3 drops of Wahl Clipper Oil across the top of the blade teeth and 1 drop on each heel of the blade. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil.
6.3 Storage
Store the clipper in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the blade guard is in place to protect the blades from damage.
