BLADE ALIGNMENT DIAGRAM
ALIGNING 2 HOLE BLADES
Slightly loosen both blade screws at
base of stationary blade, just
enough to be able to shift the
blade. Move blade adjustment lever
to the full forward position. With
the blade screws loosened, the
bottom blade can be aligned with
the top blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16”
(.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of bottom
blade teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut too close
or allow the moving top blade to touch the skin. (See Blade
Alignment Diagram.)
2. Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be on the first small
tooth of bottom blade. (See Blade Alignment Diagram.)
3. After blade is aligned, tighten screws.
4. Plug clipper in, turn switch ON and OFF a couple of times, and
then recheck alignment of blades.
CLIPPER USE
USING CORDED CLIPPERS
TAPER LEVER
Some clippers are equipped with an
adjustable taper lever that changes
the closeness of your cut. When the
lever is in the uppermost position, the
blades will give the closest cut.
Pushing the lever downward
gradually increases the cutting length.
(Not found on all clipper models.)
POWER ADJUSTMENT SCREW
MAXIMIZING POWER TO THE BLADES
To adjust power, turn power screw in clockwise direction until clipper
makes a noise caused by the arm hitting the coil. Then, slowly turn
power screw out (counter-clockwise) just until noise stops then
continue turning 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn more, this is maximum power.
(Not found on all clipper models.)

QUICK TIP
Use the brush handle tip to
adjust the power screw.
CLIPPER CARE
BLADE CARE AND OILING
In order to ensure that you get the most life and performance out of
the clipper, we recommend oiling daily. To oil it properly, the clipper
should be held so the blades are in a downward position as shown.
Place one drop of Wahl oil in the center of the movable top blade
and one drop of oil on each end of the top blade. Turn clipper switch
ON and run to distribute the oil. When oil is evenly distributed, turn
clipper OFF and wipe off excess oil with a soft cloth. Periodically oil
heel of blade (shown in image) to reduce blade friction.
(USE WAHL OIL ONLY)
WIPE OFF EXCESS OIL so it does not run into the motor compartment.
Oil in the motor compartment will eventually lead to poor motor performance.
Blades should be oiled after using disinfectant or sanitizing solution.
UNIT CARE
Use a clean cloth (dry or dampened with water).
DO NOT USE bleach, benzene or thinner to clean the unit.
CORD CARE
The cord should never be used to pull the clipper. Freedom of
movement needs to be maintained. Care should be used to keep the
cord untwisted, and undamaged. When stored, the cord should be
coiled and placed neatly in a dry place.
ALIGNING 3 HOLE BLADES
Slightly loosen the three blade
screws of the stationary blade, just
enough to be able to shift the
blade. Move blade adjustment lever
to the full forward position. With
the blade screws loosened, the
bottom blade can be aligned with
the top blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16”
(.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of bottom
blade teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut too close
or allow the moving top blade to touch the skin. (See Blade
Alignment Diagram.)
2. Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be on the first small
tooth of bottom blade. (See Blade Alignment Diagram.)
3. After blade is aligned, tighten screws.
4. Plug clipper in, turn switch ON and OFF a couple of times, and
then recheck alignment of blades.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If your corded clipper does not seem to be operating properly, please
check the following:
• Check the outlet’s current by plugging another appliance
(one you know is in proper working condition) into the outlet.
• Make sure the unit is not connected to a power source that turns
itself off when lights are turned off.
• Make sure the unit is clean and free of hair or other contaminants.
• Verify that the blade assembly moves freely and is mounted properly.
If you still encounter problems with your unit, send your unit to
Wahl Clipper Corporation with a note explaining the problem.

GROUNDING INSTRUCTIONS
(Grounding Instructions only apply if the appliance has a grounding pin
as shown in Figure 1.) This appliance should be grounded. In the
event of an electrical short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of
electric shock by providing an escape wire for the electric current.
This appliance is equipped with a cord having a grounding wire with
an appropriate grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into an
outlet that is properly installed and grounded in accordance with all
local codes and ordinances.
DANGER – Improper use of the grounding plug can result in a
risk of electric shock.
If repair or replacement of the cord or plug is necessary, do not
connect the grounding wire to either flat-blade terminal. The wire
with insulation having an outer surface that is green with or without
yellow stripes is the grounding wire. Check with a qualified
electrician or serviceman if the grounding instructions are not
completely understood, or if in doubt as to whether the appliance is
properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided; if it will not fit
the outlet, have the proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
