Operating Instructions

General Shaving Tips

• For best results, use the shaver on clean, dry skin.
• Hold the shaver at a right angle to the skin.
• Apply light pressure and glide the shaver gently over the face and neck. Avoid pressing too hard, as this can damage the foils and reduce performance.
• Shave against the direction of hair growth for the closest shave.
• Stretch the skin taut with your free hand to help the shaver capture hairs more effectively.

Maintenance

Cleaning the Shaver

Regular cleaning is crucial for maintaining the shaver's performance and longevity.

1. Turn off the shaver and unplug it from any power source.
2. Gently remove the foil head assembly by pressing the release buttons (if applicable) or carefully pulling it off.
3. Use the provided cleaning brush to brush away hair clippings from the foils and the cutter bars. Do not use water on the foils or cutter bars.
4. For thorough cleaning, the pop-out foil bars can be removed from the foil head.
5. Reattach the foil head assembly securely.

Replacing Foils and Cutter Bars

Over time, foils and cutter bars will wear down and should be replaced to ensure optimal shaving performance. Replacement parts are available from authorized Wahl Professional dealers.

1. Turn off the shaver and unplug it.
2. Remove the old foil head assembly.
3. Carefully remove the old cutter bars from their mounts.
4. Insert the new cutter bars into their respective mounts, ensuring they are properly seated.
5. Attach the new foil head assembly, ensuring it clicks securely into place.

Oiling

Apply a very small amount of Wahl Shaver Oil to the cutting bars regularly. This helps reduce friction, maintain performance, and prolong the life of the foils and cutter bars.
