  1. Charging: 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.
  2. Attaching Guide Combs: Select the desired cutting guide. Align the guide comb with the clipper blade and firmly push it into place until it clicks securely.
  3. Adjusting Taper Lever: The adjustable taper lever allows for various cutting lengths without changing guide combs. Move the lever up for a closer cut and down for a longer cut.

Operating Instructions

For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry before cutting. Use the appropriate guide comb for your desired length and technique.

  1. Power On: Slide the power switch to the 'ON' position.
  2. General Cutting: Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin cutting from the bottom of the head, moving upwards against the direction of hair growth. Use smooth, overlapping strokes.
  3. Fading and Blending: Utilize the stagger-tooth blade and adjustable taper lever to create seamless fades and blends. Start with a longer guide comb and gradually switch to shorter combs or adjust the taper lever for a closer finish.
  4. Detailing and Edging: For precise lines around the neckline and ears, remove the guide comb and use the bare blade. Exercise caution to avoid skin irritation.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your clipper.

  1. Cleaning Blades: After each use, turn off the clipper and use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hair from the blades.
  2. Oiling Blades: Apply a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the teeth and heel of the blades. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This helps maintain blade sharpness and prevents rust.
  3. Storage: Store the clipper in a dry, cool place. Use the red blade guard to protect the blades when not in use.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues with your clipper, refer to the following common solutions:

  • Clipper Not Turning On: Ensure the clipper is fully charged. If using corded, check the power connection.
  • Blades Pulling Hair: This often indicates dull blades or insufficient oiling. Clean and oil the blades. If the problem persists, consider professional blade sharpening or replacement.
  • Reduced Power: Recharge the battery. If the clipper is old, the battery may need replacement.
  • Excessive Noise/Vibration: Ensure the blades are properly aligned and secured. Clean and oil the blades.
