6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and extends the life of your trimmer.
- Cleaning Blades: After each use, turn off and unplug the trimmer. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove any loose hair from the blades. The quick-change system allows for easy blade removal for thorough cleaning.
- Lubrication: Apply a few drops of Wahl blade oil to the blades after each cleaning. Turn the trimmer on for a few seconds to distribute the oil evenly. This reduces friction, keeps blades sharp, and prevents rust.
- Storage: Store the trimmer in a clean, dry place, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight. Ensure the battery is charged before storing for extended periods.
