Setup
- Initial Charge: Before first use, fully charge the clipper for approximately 2 hours. Connect the USB-C charging cable to the clipper or the charging stand, then plug the adapter into a power outlet. The indicator light will show charging status.
- Blade Alignment (Zero-Gap): The clipper blades are factory-set. If adjustment is desired for a closer cut (zero-gap), use the included mini screwdriver to carefully loosen the two screws on the fixed blade. Align the moving blade with the fixed blade, ensuring the top edge of the moving blade is slightly below the top edge of the fixed blade. Tighten the screws securely.
- Attaching Modular Lids: To customize the clipper's appearance, select one of the three modular lids. Align the lid with the clipper body and gently press until it clicks into place.
- Attaching Guards: Select the desired magnetic guard size. Align the guard with the clipper blade and attach it securely. Ensure the guard is firmly in place before operation.

Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Press the power button located on the front of the clipper to turn it on or off.
- Using the Taper Lever: The taper lever allows for precise length adjustments. Move the lever up for a shorter cut and down for a longer cut. The clipper offers both click-lever and freestyle operation.

Maintenance
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, turn off the clipper and remove any attached guards. Use the included cleaning brush to remove loose hair from the blades. For a more thorough cleaning, the blades can be carefully removed (refer to blade alignment instructions in Setup) and rinsed under running water, ensuring the clipper body remains dry. Allow blades to air dry completely before reattaching.
- Oiling Blades: Regularly apply 2-3 drops of the included blade oil across the teeth of the blades after cleaning and before storage. Turn the clipper on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This helps maintain blade sharpness and prevents rust.
- Storage: Store the clipper in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure the clipper is turned off before storing.
