2. Once fully charged, the unit may be used without cord.
3. After use, move the on/off switch to the “O” (OFF/CHARGE) position. Reconnect the clipper to the cord and recharge batteries by connecting the cord into any convenient electrical outlet.

CLIPPER USE AND MAINTENANCE

1. A fully charged clipper can deliver up to 40-90 minutes of continuous use. (varies by product)
2. When clipper is not in use, it should be connected to the cord to assure maximum power whenever it is used. The cord is designed to continuously charge the battery, without overcharging.
3. It is normal for the unit to become somewhat warm during normal use.
4. Avoid pressing the blades strongly against the skin, being especially careful around the ears.  (The blades should be directed toward the skin at a right angle, but without significant pressure.)
5. After cutting damp hair, clean and oil the blades before storing the unit.  Place a small drop of WAHL CLIPPER OIL ONLY on the ends of the blades then move the switch to the “1” (ON) position.
6. To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry or dampened cloth.  DO NOT USE benzine or thinner to clean the unit.
7. Do not store the clipper in a wet or moist environment.

REMOVING AND CLEANING  DETACHABLE BLADES

• Hold the clipper firmly in one hand.  
• Using the thumb of your other hand, simply push the blades away from the front of the clipper.  
• The blades and mounting plate behind them will all come off in one piece.
• To remove hair from between the blades, use the cleaning brush provided.  
• Be sure to use Wahl Clipper Oil between the blades before each  use.  
• Before replacing the blades, be sure the top  blades move freely.
• To reattach the blade, place the hook at the bottom of the blade set into the space provided on the clipper housing.  
• Then pivot the blade set toward the housing.  

• Once it is seated, snap blade set to case so that you hear a click.

  

WASHING BLADES

The blades are washable directly around the blade area housing only.  Avoid washing all areas around the on/off switch and power adaptor connection areas. 

Note: Do not submerge under water.

OIL

1. The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts.   
2. Simply place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the teeth of the  blades.  
3. Use only the Wahl Clipper Oil included in the pack.  
4. Due  to the high speed of your Wahl clipper, the correct type of oil must be used.  
5. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil, slowing down the blades.  

6. Wahl Clipper Oil is a very thin, natural oil which will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades. 

   

CORD CARE
The cord should not be used to pull the clipper.  Since freedom  of movement needs to be maintained, care should be used to  keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed.  When stored, the cord  should be coiled and the unit placed in original box or storage  pouch (if provided), away from children.

CLIPPER/RECYCLING OF BATTERIES
Depending on use, your batteries should last five years.  At the end of its life, when it can no longer take a full charge, it cannot be replaced.  The clipper must be discarded, but first the battery must be removed & recycled properly.  To do so, follow these steps.

1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the “0” (OFF) position and that the cord is NOT plugged into the clipper or any electrical outlet.
2. Remove blade assembly from clipper and remove screws and retainer plate.
3. Remove cover plate by releasing visible cover “hooks” and pulling cover away.
4. Locate circuit board and battery and pry battery off of circuit board.
5. Apply tape to both ends of the battery before recycling or properly disposing of it.

EASY-TO-USE ATTACHMENT GUARDS

Some kits do not include all size Wahl guards

ADDING GUARDS

• Before adding guards, make sure the on/off switch is turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.   
• While holding at a slight angle, place the attachment guard onto the clipper so the tips of the blade rests into the slots of the guard fingers. (fig A) 

• Using your thumb, push down on the guard, where the guard size number is located, until you hear a “SNAP”. (fig B)

  

REMOVING GUARDS

• Before removing guards, make sure the on/off switch is turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.   

• While holding the top of attachment guard, place your thumb on the underside of the attachment guard tab. Push up on tab to remove guard from clipper. (fig C)

  

EARS

Some kits do not include ear taper guards.

To achieve a “tapered” cut around the ears, use the left and right tapered attachment guards

1. Attach the “R” RIGHT attachment guard to the clipper.
   First, starting behind the RIGHT ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear. Repeat as needed.
   Second, starting on the front of the LEFT ear, (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the ear. Repeat as needed.

   

2. Repeat, except now using the “L” LEFT guard. Attach the “L” LEFT attachment guard to the clipper.
   First, starting behind the LEFT ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear. Repeat as needed.
   Second, starting on the front of the RIGHT ear, (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the ear. Repeat as needed.

   

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

When you cut your hair, you should visualize the head as if it were divided into four sections.  Image below shows the different sections.  Using proper techniques when moving from one section to the next will help you blend the sections together for professional looking results.  

• The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount of hair until you become accustomed to the length of hair each attachment guard provides.
• For best results, hair should be dry before using clipper.
• For best results, when cutting hair, go through hair at a slow, even speed.  Don’t force the clipper through the hair.
• For best results, go through the hair against the direction of your hair’s growth, so you can catch more hair with the guard.
• The blades on your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIR

1. Comb hair and remove tangles. Attach the largest attachment guard to the clipper. 
2. Start at hairline on side of head and cut up to middle of head. 
   Note: If cut hair is too long repeat with next smaller guard.
3. Continue around head repeating step 2. 

4. You are now ready to cut the middle portion of the hair.

   

5. Use the attachment guard with the next highest number than in step 3. Example: If you used a  #6 guard in step 3, select guard #7.
6. Continue cutting around middle portion of head as in steps 2 and 3.
7. For cutting top of head, use the guard with the next highest number than in step 6. Start at front bang area. 

8. Cut across top of head. Comb hair on entire head to assess if further cutting is necessary.

   

BLENDING

When you want to blend from one section to the next, you will need to practice moving the clipper in an upward rocking motion.  This motion will leave the hair slightly longer where the clipper pulls away from the scalp, enabling you to blend between the sections and achieve a smooth transition from one length of hair to the next.  This technique will enhance the appearance of your haircuts.

1. Blend out any cut lines. Lines may form where you change guard sizes. Use the same guard used in step 3 
2. Using a rocking motion, blend out the middle cut line.
3. Using the guard used in step 8 repeat blending the top outline as needed.

OUTLINING

1. No attachments needed. Start with the sideburns. 
2. Continue around ear as shown.
3. Trim neckline as shown.
