call 1-800-767-9245 for assistance.
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.
ATTACHMENT GUARDS:
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
after cutting hair with a guard attached to the clipper. For easy reference,
each guard is numbered and lists what length the hair will be after being
cut using the noted size guard. 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. To achieve
an even “tapered” cut around the ears, use the LEFT and RIGHT tapered attachment guards.
Before adding or removing guards from clipper, make sure the on/off switch is turned off (or
in “0” position). Not all kits may include all the different size and style of guards listed in this
instruction sheet.
Use clipper or battery trimmer (not all kits include a trimmer).

Unit should be charged 3-5 hours for a full charge.
b. 2240LP, 9649LP, 9179LP Clippers:
Unit should be charged 2 hours for a full charge.
2) After initial charge, clipper can be “Quick Charged” for 15 minutes. This should allow
enough power for one haircut.
3) To charge, turn off and connect the charging plug into an outlet at the correct voltage.
4) CHARGE INDICATORS:
a.
9639, 9649, 9655N Only:
The indicator light will not turn off or change color after
clipper is fully charged. The power indicator light illuminates to show when the charger
is properly connected to the clipper and plugged in. Light will not indicate when the
clipper needs to be recharged.
b. 2240LP, 9179LP, 9649LP Only: The indicator light will be red while charging and
green when fully charged or when running. The light will flash red when the battery is low.
5) When clipper is not in use, it may be connected to the charging cord and plugged into an
outlet to assure maximum power is available when it is next used. This detachable power
supply unit (charger) is designed to charge the battery without overcharging. The clipper
cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often as desired.
STORAGE:
1) The charging cord should be removed from the clipper when not charging. Leaving the
cord connected to the clipper without being plugged in may cause the battery to drain.
2) The cord should not be used to pull the clipper. Care should be used to keep the cord
untwisted and unobstructed. When stored, the cord should be coiled and unit placed in
original box or storage case (if provided) and away from children.
3) Do not expose or store the clipper at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.
1. Comb hair and remove tangles.
Add 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
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.
ADDING:
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:
While holding the top of attachment guard,
place your thumb on the underside of the

TROUBLESHOOTING:
If your clipper does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair:
1) Check outlet operation by plugging in another appliance.
2) Make sure the outlet is not connected to a switch which turns the power at the outlet off.
3) Be sure the clipper is properly connected to the charging cord, all connections are secure
and the switch on the clipper is turned “OFF - 0.”
4) If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the clipper be
disconnected from the charging cord anytime the master switch is off. Leaving the unit
plugged into a dead outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
5) If clipper does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit “ON - I” and pinch
or push the blades manually. (Oil may have dried out between the blades, so they may be
temporarily stuck together.)
Attach the “R” RIGHT attachment guard to the
clipper as directed above.
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 repeating as
necessary. (Fig A)
Keep the “R” attachment guard on clipper.
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 repeating as
necessary. (Fig B)
The cutting length of the ear taper guards
ranges from 3/16” (#1-1/2”) to 1/4” (#4).
Remove the “R” RIGHT attachment guard and
attach the “L” LEFT attachment guard.
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 repeating as
necessary. (Fig C)
Keep the “L” attachment guard on clipper.
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 repeating as
necessary. (Fig D)

DETAILING / OUTLINING
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIRTIPS & 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.
Section 2:
Under the rim
of the head
Section 4:
Top of the head
Section 1:
The neckline
Section 3:
The rim or side
Remove:
• Before removing blade or shaver head, make sure clipper is turned to the “O/OFF” position.
• Hold the clipper in both hands. Using both thumbs, push the blade or shaver head away
from the front of the clipper as shown.
• The blade and shaver heads will both come off in one piece.
SHAVER TIPS: 9149LP Only
Not all kits include a foil shaver head.
• Use shaver before washing your face or top of head.
• Always hold the shaver at a 90° right angle to your skin.
• Shave against the direction of hair growth and stretch your skin as tight as possible.
Attach:
• Before adding blade or shaver, make sure the on/off switch is turned to the “O/OFF” position.
• To add attachment, place the tab on bottom of the blade or shaver into the notch found on
the bottom of the clipper housing.
• Secure by pivoting attachment toward the clipper until you hear a click.
OIL BLADES:
The blades on your clipper should be oiled every few haircuts.
When oiling your clipper, turn the clipper “ON - I,” hold the unit with the blades facing
DOWN and squeeze three drops across the front of the blade and one drop on each side
on the heel of the blade. Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.
NOTICE—DO NOT OVER OIL!
DETACHABLE CLIPPER BLADE & SHAVER HEAD:
9639, 9649, 9649LP, 9655N, 9179LP Units Only
Not all kits include both a clipper blade and shaver head.
Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if allowed to seep back into
motor.
DO NOT USE HAIR OIL, GREASE, OR ANY OIL MIXED WITH KEROSENE OR ANY SOLVENT.
Should the blades become jammed with hair, move the taper
lever up and down several times to help free up the blades.
“Up” Position = Closest Cut | “Down” Position = Longest Cut
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you
to gradually change the closeness of your cut, ideal for blending
and fading.
9179 clippers have a push button on/off switch. The unit has as travel lock feature to prevent
accidental activation during shipment and travel. To activate or deactivate the travel lock
feature, press and hold the on/off button for 3 seconds.

• 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, 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.
