TRIMMER CARE
BLADE CARE AND OILING
In order to ensure that you get the most life and performance out of
the trimmer, we recommend oiling daily. To oil it properly, the
trimmer 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 trimmer
switch ON and run to distribute the oil. When oil is evenly distributed,
turn trimmer 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 trimmer. 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.

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.
