6. Operating Instructions

6.1 Powering On/Off and Speed Adjustment

• To turn on the clipper, press the power button. It will start at the default speed.
• To switch between the two speed settings (6000 RPM and 7500 RPM), press the power button again while the clipper is running.
• To turn off the clipper, press the power button a third time.

6.2 Using the SnapTek 5 Clicking Lever Arm

The lever arm allows for fine adjustment of the cutting length without changing guide combs, essential for fading and blending.

• Move the lever up for a shorter cut (closer to the skin).
• Move the lever down for a longer cut.
• The "clicking" mechanism provides tactile feedback for precise adjustments.

6.3 General Hair Cutting Tips

• Ensure hair is clean and dry before cutting.
• Always start with a longer guide comb than you think you need and gradually reduce the length.
• Cut against the direction of hair growth for an even cut.
• Use smooth, overlapping strokes.
• Regularly clear cut hair from the blade during use to maintain performance.

7. Maintenance

7.1 Cleaning the Blades

1. Turn off and unplug the clipper before cleaning.
2. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove loose hair from the blades.
3. For a more thorough clean, the blade set can be carefully removed (refer to manufacturer's guidelines for blade removal if necessary, typically involves unscrewing).
4. Do not rinse the clipper body under water. The blades can be wiped with a damp cloth, then thoroughly dried.

7.2 Lubrication

The XO PLAY Blade features oil reservoirs for extended lubrication. However, regular oiling is still recommended for optimal performance and blade longevity.

1. After each use, or at least once a week, apply 1-2 drops of clipper oil (not included, but commonly available) to the teeth of the blade while the clipper is running for a few seconds.
2. Wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth.

7.3 Storage

Store the clipper in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Ensure it is turned off and unplugged before storing.
