Haircutting
Middle
1. No attachments needed.
Start with the sideburns.
2. Continue around ear as
shown.
4. Trim neckline as shown.
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
3. Using the guard used in
step 8 repeat blending the
top outline as needed.
2. Using a rocking motion,
blend out the middle cut
line.

rests into the slots of the guard fingers. (fig A)
2. Using your thumb, push down on the guard, where the guard size number is located, until you hear a
“SNAP”. (fig B)

• Attachment guards help you cut
hair to a desired length by keeping the
blades at set distance from the skin,
helping ensure an even hair length
when cutting hair with a clipper. For
reference, each guard is numbered and
also lists what the length of the hair will
be after being cut.
• Attachment guard sizes vary.
Always start with a longer length guard
(you can always use a shorter length
guard if the length is not short enough).
• 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.

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
attachment 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.
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.
fig. A) 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.
fig B) 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.
fig. A) 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.
fig. B) 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.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIRTIPS & TECHNIQUES
EARS
CLIPPER MAINTENANCE
OIL:
The blades on your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts. Place a few drops of
Wahl Clipper Oil on the teeth (front) as well as at the back side of the blade. Use only Wahl
Clipper oil (a small bottle is included in this kit, additional oil can be purchased separately,
see www.grooming.Wahl.com for details). DO NOT USE HAIR OIL, GREASE, OR ANY
OIL MIXED WITH KEROSENE OR ANY SOLVENT.
CORD:
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.
YOUR CLIPPER HAS A POLARIZED PLUG: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one plug blade is wider than the other). This plug fits in a
polarized outlet only one way. In the event the plug doesn’t fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.
POWER SCREW:
Your clipper has a power screw and it has been adjusted
for peak efficiency before leaving the factory. However,
if voltage in your home is low, you may need to readjust
it. To adjust power, turn your clipper “On”. Use the end of
the cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn power screw in
a clockwise direction until you hear a noise. Then, slowly
turn power screw in a counterclockwise direction, just until
noise stops. This is the maximum power setting.
CLEANING:
To remove hair from between the blades, use the cleaning brush provided. DO NOT USE WATER TO CLEAN THE BLADES. For best results, after brush cleaning the blades, add
Wahl clipper oil to the blades.
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.
ALIGNING CLIPPER BLADES:
Your Wahl clipper blades were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory. Blades may
need to be realigned if they have been bumped or removed for cleaning. To determine if
realignment is necessary, compare your clipper blades with this sketch.
1. If your clipper has a taper lever, position the lever in the closest cut (up) position.
2. End of top blade teeth should be approximately 1/32-inch (.64 mm) back from bottom blade.
3. Extreme left-hand tooth of top blade must be covering or to the left of the first small tooth
of bottom blade.
4. Extreme right-hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.
If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the blades, turn clipper
“ON” for a few moments, turn “OFF” and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust. Tighten
screws after blades are aligned. Other than blades, this clipper has no user-serviceable parts.
TAPER LEVER:
Not all kits include a taper lever
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by
allowing you to gradually change the closeness of your
cut. (Up position = closest cut; Down position = longest
cut). Should the blades become jammed with hair, move
the taper lever up and down several times. This will help
free up the blades.

TRIMMER BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS
Select clipper kits include a battery trimmer, your kit may or may not include a trimmer
1. Remove battery cover from clipper by pushing in and back on the plastic door in the direction of the
arrow.
2. IMPORTANT: Be sure to insert the negative (-) end of each battery first, so that it depresses the spring at
the top of the battery compartment. Then slide the positive (+) end into position. Do not allow the
negative terminal clips to bend and cut the casing of the batteries.
Use alkaline batteries with your Wahl trimmer. Alkaline batteries will provide the longest operating time
before battery replacement is needed. Trimmer should run approximately three hours on alkaline
batteries.
3. Replace battery cover to its original position.
4. Move switch to “ON” position to use.
5. To maximize battery life, trimmer should be shut “OFF” immediately after using.
