Operating Instructions
CHARGING BATTERY ON CLIPPER
Before the appliance is used for the first time, it should be charged for 16 - 18 hours.
- Connect your transformer into the bottom of your clipper.
- Plug the transformer into a compatible mains outlet.
- Ensure that the appliance switch is in the OFF position. The appliance will only charge when it is switched off. During charging the indicator light will stay red.
- Only recharge when the performance noticeably drops. Over charging will not damage the appliance.
- When the battery is fully charged the appliance can be used for up to 45 minutes without mains connection.
BATTERY INSTALLATION FOR TRIMMER
- With the attachment head attached, hold the trimmer head, and simply slide the bottom compartment downwards to reveal the battery compartment.
- Insert the AA Battery negative end first (toward the cutting head).
- Replace the battery compartment cover.
- Replace the battery as soon as you notice the trimmer running slower than normal, to avoid pulling of hairs.
USING YOUR PERSONAL TRIMMER (Not Included in All Wahl Kits)
- Before trimming remove the protective cap and turn on the trimmer by pushing the switch up.
- To trim hair from nose – make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the rotary head in and out of each nostril, no more than a 6mm deep. Keep the side of the cutting head firmly against the skin to prevent a tickling sensation.
- To trim hair from ears – make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold the ear flat with one hand and carefully insert rotary head no more than 6mm into the outer ear. For hair growing on the outside of the ear, simply move the rotary head slowly along the edges of the ear.
⚠️ WARNING: Do not insert the rotary head or any other foreign object into the inner ear.
Cleaning and Maintenance
⚠️ WARNING: Do not submerge the clipper in water, to clean the blades, simply rinse under running water then dry and oil the blades.
Always unplug your transformer from the mains when cleaning the blades.
CHANGING THE BLADE SET FOR CLIPPER
Ensure that the clipper is switched OFF.
The blade set can be removed by pressing the blades away from the clipper.
To replace your blade, place the blade set with the hook engaged into the slot in the housing and press down until it clicks into place.
OILING CLIPPER BLADES
The blades should be oiled before and after every use.
Simply place a few drops of Wahl Clipper oil on the teeth of the blades. Switch the clipper on briefly (approx 10 seconds) to ensure the oil film is evenly distributed. Use only the Wahl Clipper Oil included in the pack. Due to the high speed of your Wahl clipper, the correct type of oil must be used. Do not use hair oil grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave thick oil, slowing down the blades. Wahl Clipper Oil is a very thin, natural oil which will not evaporate and slow down the blades.
ℹ️ IMPORTANT: Do not over Oil.
CLEANING YOUR NASAL TRIMMER (Not Included in All Wahl Kits)
Periodically after use, turn the trimmer off and rinse the cutting head under warm, running water. For more thorough cleaning, remove the attached cutting head by turning it slightly counter clockwise. Then rinse the entire head under running water. After cleaning, replace desired head by turning it slightly clockwise and wipe the entire trimmer dry with a soft cloth. Always replace the protective cap after use.
