2. Attaching and Detaching Guide Combs

Guide combs allow for precise hair length control.

• To Attach: Align the guide comb with the clipper blade and push firmly until it clicks into place.
• To Detach: Gently pull the guide comb away from the blade while holding the clipper securely.

3. Blade Adjustment (Zero-Gap)

The TPOB Goblin features a Black Diamond Carbon DLC fade blade, which can be adjusted for a closer cut (zero-gapped). This procedure should only be performed by experienced users.

1. Ensure the clipper is turned off and unplugged.
2. Using the provided screwdriver, carefully loosen the two screws on the blade assembly.
3. Gently slide the moving blade forward until it is aligned with the stationary blade, ensuring it does not extend past the stationary blade to prevent skin irritation.

2. Hair Cutting and Trimming

For best results, ensure hair is clean and dry. Always start with a longer guide comb if unsure of the desired length.

• 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 for an even cut.
• For fading, gradually switch to shorter guide combs or use the lever to adjust blade length.

3. Using the Taper Lever

The taper lever on the side of the clipper allows for seamless blending and precise adjustments to cutting length without changing guide combs.

• Move the lever upwards for a shorter cut.
• Move the lever downwards for a longer cut.
• Utilize the lever in conjunction with guide combs for advanced fading techniques.

Maintenance

1. Blade Cleaning and Oiling

Regular cleaning and oiling are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your Black Diamond Carbon DLC blade.

1. After each use, turn off and unplug the clipper.
2. Use the cleaning brush (not explicitly listed but standard for clippers) to brush away any loose hair from the blades.
3. Apply 1-2 drops of clipper oil (not included) to the teeth and heel of the blades.
4. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil, then turn it off and wipe off any excess oil.

2. General Cleaning
