Haircutting
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.
• 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, hair should be dry before using clipper.
• 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.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES
1. Comb hair and remove tangles. Attach 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.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIR
Section 2:
Under the rim
of the head
Section 1:
The neckline
1. No attachments needed.
Start with the sideburns.
2. Continue around ear as
shown.
3. Trim neckline as shown.
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.

BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS
Select clipper kits include a battery trimmer,
your kit may or may not include a trimmer
1. Remove battery cover from trimmer by pushing in and back on the plastic door in the
direction of the arrow.
2. IMPORTANT: Be sure to insert the negative (-) end of each battery first, so that it depresses
the spring at the top 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.
Use alkaline batteries 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.
YOUR NEW BATTERY TRIMMER
EARS
Some kits do not include ear taper guards.
Before adding guards, make sure the on/off switch is
turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.
1. 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)
2. Using your thumb, push down on the guard, where
the guard size number is located, until you hear a
“SNAP”. (fig B)
• 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
when cutting hair with a clipper. For
reference, each guard is numbered
and also lists what the length of the
hair will be after being cut.
• Attachment guard sizes vary. 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.
REMOVING GUARDS: Pictured in g C
Before removing guards, make sure the on/off switch is
turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.
1. While holding the top of attachment guard, place
your thumb on the underside of the attachment guard
tab. Push up on tab to remove guard from clipper.

To remove hair from between the blades, use the cleaning brush provided. Be sure to
use Wahl Clipper Oil between the blades before each
use. Before replacing the blades, be sure the top
blades move freely.
To reattach the blade, place the hook at the bottom of
the blade set into the space provided on the clipper
housing. Then pivot the blade set toward the housing.
Once it is seated, snap blade set to case so that you
hear a click.
WASHING BLADES
The blades are washable directly around the blade
area housing only. Avoid washing all areas around
the on/off switch and power adaptor connection
areas.
Note: Do not submerge under water.
OIL
The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts.
Simply place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the teeth of the
blades. Use only the Wahl Clipper Oil included in the pack. Due
to the high speed of your Wahl clipper, the correct type of oil must be used. Do not use
hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent will evaporate
and leave the thick oil, slowing down the blades. Wahl Clipper Oil is a very thin, natural
oil which will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades.
CORD CARE
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), away from children.
CLIPPER/RECYCLING OF BATTERIES
Depending on use, your batteries should last five years. At the end of its life, when it can no longer take a
full charge, it cannot be replaced. The clipper must be discarded, but first the battery must be removed
& recycled properly. To do so, follow these steps.
1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the “0” (OFF) position and that the cord is NOT
plugged into the clipper or any electrical outlet.
2. Remove blade assembly from clipper and remove screws and retainer plate.
3. Remove cover plate by releasing visible cover “hooks” and pulling cover away.
4. Locate circuit board and battery and pry battery off of circuit board.
5. Apply tape to both ends of the battery before recycling or properly disposing of it.
RECHARGEABLE CORD/CORDLESS OPERATION
1. Before use, the clipper must be fully charged for 12 to 15 hours.
2. Once fully charged, the unit may be used without cord.
3. After use, move the on/off switch to the “O” (OFF/CHARGE) position. Reconnect the
clipper to the cord and recharge batteries by connecting the cord into any convenient
electrical outlet.
NOTE: If the batteries have completely run out, the clipper can be used as a corded clipper (see the
following “corded operation”).
CORDED OPERATION
1. Be sure the on/off switch is in the “O” (OFF) position.
2. Connect the clipper to the cord, and plug it into an electrical outlet.
3. Move the on/off switch to th “1” (ON) position.
4. After use, disconnect cord from outlet.
CLIPPER USE AND MAINTENANCE
1. A fully charged clipper can deliver up to 40-90 minutes of continuous use. (varies by
product)
2. When clipper is not in use, it should be connected to the cord to assure maximum
power whenever it is used. The cord is designed to continuously charge the battery,
without overcharging.
3. It is normal for the unit to become somewhat warm during normal use.
4. Avoid pressing the blades strongly against the skin, being especially careful around
the ears. (The blades should be directed toward the skin at a right angle, but without
significant pressure.)
5. After cutting damp hair, clean and oil the blades before storing the unit. Place a small
drop of WAHL CLIPPER OIL ONLY on the ends of the blades then move the switch to
the “1” (ON) position.
6. To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry or dampened cloth. DO NOT USE benzine or
thinner to clean the unit.
7. Do not store the clipper in a wet or moist environment.
8. To prolong blade life, do not use clipper on hair that is coated with a permanent wave
solution or hair spray.
9. Do not touch any of the internal mechanisms. If the unit should need repair, do not
repair it yourself. Return it to Wahl Clipper Corporation.
REMOVING AND CLEANING DETACHABLE BLADES
To remove the blades - be sure the on/off switch is in the “O” (OFF) position. Hold the
clipper firmly in one hand. Using the thumb of your other hand, simply push the blades
away from the front of the clipper. The blades and mounting plate behind them will all
come off in one piece.
