Operating Instructions
1. Powering On/Off
To turn the clipper on or off, use the power switch located on the side of the unit. The N1 brushless motor provides 6,800 RPM / 13,600 SPM for efficient cutting.
2. Using Clipper Guards
Attach the desired clipper guard to achieve various cutting lengths for shaping, fading, and blending.

Maintenance
1. Blade Cleaning and Oiling
Regular cleaning and oiling are crucial for maintaining the performance and longevity of your clipper blades. The MIM blade features built-in oil reservoirs to reduce friction and lower blade temperature.
