TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE

1. Comb your mustache.

2. Hold the trimmer in a vertical position with the blades pointing

toward you in order to define the line of your mustache.

3. With the attachment set at a fairly long trimming length, begin

trimming your mustache, starting at the top and working down

to your upper lip. Use progressively closer settings to get the

look and length you desire.

4. For tapering the mustache, set the 5-position trimming guide

at a medium length. Starting in the middle of your mustache,

follow the lip line and taper with short upward strokes of the

trimmer, working out toward the corners until a gentle shape is

created on the bottom of your mustache.

5. As a finishing step, remove the trimming guide and, using only

the bare blades, make a definitive line at the bottom of your

mustache.

TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT

COMBS

Your trimmer includes three trimming attachments; stubble,

medium and long. The stubble guide has 1 bar, the medium-cut

attachment has two bars and the long-cut attachment has three

bars. These attachments are ideal for blending,

tapering and defining beards, as well as for

achieving a “close trim” stubble look around the

face. To use the attachments, go with the hair

direction. To achieve closer looks, go against the

hair direction.

For Household Use Only

BATTERY INSTALLATION/

REPLACEMENT

1. Remove battery cover from trimmer by

pushing in and back on the plastic door in

the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert two AA batteries as indicated by

molded outline in trimmer.

IMPORTANT: Be sure to insert the negative

(-) end of each battery first, so that it depresses

the spring at the bottom 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.

Carbon or alkaline batteries may be used

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.

6. To replace batteries, complete Step 1, remove batteries one at a

time.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your trimmer fails to operate when switched “ON,” check your

batteries to see if they are properly installed. Positive end (center

post) should be located as shown in battery housing. Make sure

the switch is in the “ON” position and check to be sure blades

are free to move. If blades become clogged with debris, manually

pushing the blades back and forth a few times while unit is turned

“OFF” may help free the blades and allow the trimmer to operate.

If it still does not operate, your batteries have probably exceeded

their useful life. To maximize battery life, replace all batteries at the

same time.

CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER

OILING BLADES

For best results, use 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 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!

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 blade guard

attachment should be in place to protect the blades.

This appliance should be stored in a manner where it is not

subjected to crushing, heating above 100°C (212°F), or

incineration.

5 or 6-Position Guide

makes achieving a

consistent trim easy, every time. The guide can be removed

(providing an additional cutting position) and reattached without

changing the preset cutting length, so once you have found the

perfect length, there’s no guesswork in achieving it every trim.

The trimming guide is a two-piece assembly, consisting of a base

and a comb. It should not be disassembled. To attach the guide,

simply slide it on at a slight angle and press the release tab down

to secure in position. To remove the guide, gently push up on the

release tab and slide the assembly away from the trimmer. Adjust

the trimming length by pressing on the thumb lever and moving

the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.

GROWING A BEARD

There are three key factors that will determine which beard style is

best for you:

1. The shape and dimensions of your face.

2. The natural growth of your beard.

3. The thickness of your beard. If you are unsure about the type of

beard that would most suit your face, speak with a professional

hair stylist or go to: grooming.wahl.com

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 5-position trimming guide to trim and taper your

beard. With the blades pointing toward you, begin with the

trimming guide attachment set at a long trimming length.

For best results, 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.

Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter settings until

you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the

trimming guide attachment to cut closer near the ear and down

under the chin, changing to a longer setting toward the front

of the face and point of your chin. When the trimming guide is

removed, it will remain at its last length setting until you change

it.

Always be sure the trimming guide is snapped solidly into the

desired position before you start to trim.

3. Remove the trimming guide and cut the outline of your beard.

Rotate the trimmer so that the blades are pointing toward you.

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.
