Wahl 09307-300 T-Pro Corded Trimmer Shaver User Manual

FADE CUT

1. Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish

the ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut against the grain

for the shortest cut. Don’t force the blade through the hair. Let the

trimmer do the work.

2. Next, cut around the head again and up the nape of the neck to the

fade line, brushing away the cut hair as you go. Pull the scalp taut

with the thumb for the closest cut. Turn the trimmer upside down

when necessary to keep cutting against the grain. Make sure both

sides of the head are even.

3. For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual

guide comb attachments. The smaller the number of the comb,

the shorter the cut. Comb or brush the hair as you cut for an even

end result.

4. To complete the fade, blend the hair at the fade line by trimming

up and out across the line and against the grain all the way around

the head. Then, repeat all around, turning the T-Pro trimmer

upside down and cutting downward. The final objective is to blend

the hair so there is no real line, just a perfect fade from bald to

very short hair. You can achieve this by using the #1 individual

guide comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting until you

achieve the desired effect.

5. To create a part, pick a spot off-center. Pull the scalp tight and with

the end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the trimmer

back and forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to

make sure the cut is precise.

SHAVING

Wash Up

1) Make sure your hands and fingernails are scrubbed as clean as

possible before touching your face. Irritated skin is very easily

infected by germs.

2) Wash and dry your face thoroughly to unclog pores and whisker

follicles. Use a rough towel to help remove dead skin and invigorate

the skin. Also, consider using an antiseptic lotion.

Brush Up - Use of Beard Brush

3) Brush your beard thoroughly every day with a good scrubbing

action. This is important because it frees ingrown whiskers and

moves the rest around so they don’t take hold and start growing

in. Use the special beard brush provided or any other small, stiff-

bristle brush that can be sanitized (a toothbrush is fine). Keep the

brush clean.

4) Brush your face as often as possible to start training your beard to

grow in one direction. This goes a long way to ensuring a clean,

close shave without skin irritation (you may even want to stop

shaving altogether long enough to establish a brushing pattern).

Most people can expect good results following these brushing

strokes:

• Brush down from each ear, across the cheek and along the

jawbone toward the chin.

• Brush away from the point of the chin on each side, back along

the lines just under the jawbone.

• Brush up from the lower hairline, all around the neck, up to the

lines of the previous stroke.

• Brush from the lower lip down over the chin.

• Brush down from the nose to the upper lip.

5) Shave with Wahl trimmer following the SAME STROKES and going

in the SAME DIRECTION you brushed. Stretch a section of skin

with the fingers of one hand, while holding the shaver blade head

flat against the face with the other hand. Push it forward with

slight pressure in a stroking action across the skin. You may want

to go over the same area several times. Just be sure you always

shave in the same direction each time.

6) Continue this program as long as ingrown hairs and bumps are

a problem. Later, you may wish to switch back to a razor-close

shaving method. But return to use of the Wahl trimmer at the first

sign of the problem coming back. And never stop brushing.

MUSTACHE TRIMMING

1. Comb your mustache. Looking into a well-lit mirror, comb your

mustache in the direction that it grows. This will help reveal stray

hairs and achieve an even, balanced trim.

2. Cut the outline of your mustache. Holding the trimmer in a

vertical position, with the nameplate side facing you, define the line

of your mustache. The extended tips on the blades let you achieve

a clean, well-defined mustache line.

3. Defining. As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with the name-

plate facing you. Using only the bare blades, make a definitive line

at the bottom of your mustache.

Tapering.

Hold the trimmer with the nameplate facing away from

you. Again starting with the middle of your mustache, follow the

lip line and taper out the mustache until a gentle shape is created

on the bottom portion of your mustache.

Defining.

As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with nameplate

facing make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions.

You may find different procedures work better for you.

1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal stray

hairs that may be longer than the others.

2. Attach the longest trimming guide to trim and taper your beard.

Start at each sideburn and stroke downward toward your neck.

Trim toward your chin in smooth, overlapping strokes, following

the lay of your beard. If you trim against the way your beard

naturally lays, the trimmer will cut the hair much shorter and the

result may be patchy.

Use to progressively shorter trimming guides until you reach the

desired length of beard. You may wish to use the shortest

trimming guide attachment to cut closer near the ear and down

under the chin, changing to a longer trimming guide toward

the front of the face and point of your chin. Always be sure the

trimming guide is locked solidly into the desired position before

you start to trim.

3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide.

Starting under your chin and working back toward your jawbone

and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your beard underneath the

jawbone. Continue the line all the way up to the ears and hairline.

4. Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a downward

motion. Start at the line you’ve created and, working from the chin

back toward the ears, trim the area right under your beard line.

5. Define the upper part of your beard using the same technique.

USE YOUR WAHL TRIMMER ON HAIR, TOO

That’s part of its job. You can use it to keep expensive hairstyles

trimmed—shaping hairlines, fading defining parts and trimming

around neck and ears. You can use it to style hair, too, if you wish.

To trim or style hair, first shampoo and dry hair thoroughly.

Holding the Wahl trimmer with toothed edge pointed down, trim off a

little at a time, carefully. It may be best to have someone else help you.

Your trimmer comes with three attachments: #1, #2, and #3. For

fading, use the attachment you desire; #1 for shortest length, #2 for

medium length, and #3 for longest length. Attach the guide comb to

the trimmer, making sure it is secure. Hold trimmer toward the temple

line; begin to cut hair in an upward motion, staying below temple line

for high, tight fades. For high, tight fade or military style fades, use

trimmer with attachment. Cut hair past temple line, working your way

around the head from one side to the other. For blending techniques,

use #2 and #3 attachments to remove bulky hairline.

Eventually, you should develop the skills to stay well groomed by a

quick trim around neck, ears and sideburns.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

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. When stored, the cord

should be coiled and the unit placed in original box

or-storage pouch (if provided).

If your clipper has a polarized plug: To reduce the

risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized

plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug

fits in a polarized outlet only one way. In the event

the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse

the plug. In the event it still does not fit, contact a

qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do

not change the plug in any way.

SHARPENING

Trimmer blades have precision-ground cutting teeth. Blades should

be handled carefully and never bumped. To keep blades sharp, cut

only clean hair and avoid cutting into dirt or abrasive particles.

Blades should be sharpened or changed in sets only. To remove blades

for sharpening or replacement, loosen and remove two screws on

bottom blade. Replace same and tighten. To have blades sharpened,

NOW YOU CAN KEEP ON SHAVING WHILE

CLEANING UP INGROWN WHISKERS

Men with very curly facial hair have a special problem with shaving.

Specifically, ingrown whiskers. Their whiskers curl back toward the

skin — and grow in many different directions.

Electric razors can’t pick them up through their slotted or mesh heads.

And safety razors slice them off at a sharp angle. Either way, the

stubble is left in an ideal condition to cause ingrown hair problems.

Continued shaving over the bumps and irritated skin,

of course, makes the condition worse.

But you don’t have to stop shaving altogether. With this Wahl

trimmer and its specially designed T-blade, you can maintain a neat,

shaved appearance while getting help with ingrown whiskers. Its

open-tooth comb action picks up and straightens curly whiskers for

cutting — while its high-speed blades move across at a flat angle to

the whiskers, clipping them off evenly.

CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER

OILING BLADES

For best results, put one or two drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on

the blades only when necessary, or approximately once a month.

Motor bearings are permanently lubricated—do not attempt to oil.

When oiling your trimmer, turn the trimmer “ON - I,” hold the unit

with the blades facing DOWN and squeeze one or two drops of oil

onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.

NOTICE—DO NOT OVER OIL!

Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if

allowed to seep back into motor.

BLADE CARE

Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and lapped

cutting teeth. Blades should be handled carefully and never

bumped or used to cut dirty or abrasive material. Never rinse the

blades with water, or the blades may rust. Clean with the included

brush.

CLEANING/STORAGE

Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk

any loose hairs from the unit and the blades. For units with a

soft-touch grip, use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the

trimmer, taking care not to get the blades wet. Store unit in such a

manner so that blades are protected from damage.

When the trimmer is not in use, the trimmer guide/blade guard

attachment should be in place to protect the blades.
