INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE USE AND
CARE OF WAHL CLIPPERS
RECHARGEABLE OPERATION
CLIPPER USE AND MAINTENANCE
1. A fully charged Lithium Ion clipper can deliver up to 90 minutes of continuous use.
2. When clipper is not in use, it should be connected to the transformer to assure
maximum power whenever it is used. The transformer is designed to 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.
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.
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY DISPOSAL
Do not attempt to remove the battery from unit. Lithium-Ion batteries can explode,
catch fire, and/or cause burns if disassembled, damaged, or exposed to water or high
temperatures. Do not attempt to remove the battery for disposal. Lithium-Ion batteries
may be subject to local disposal regulations. Many locations prohibit disposal in
standard waste receptacles. Check your local laws and regulations. For recycling contact
a government recycling agency, waste disposal service, retailer, or visit online recycling
sources, such as www.batteryrecycling.com or www.rbrc.org.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Clipper Has Been Designed For Household Use Only
RECHARGING
1. Remove the clipper, recharging transformer and accessories from the packing material.
2. Before the appliance is used for the first time, it should be charged for 3 to 5 hours. It
then takes 3 to 5 hours to fully recharge the battery again. The appliance is charged
by plugging directly into the appliance. During charging, the charging indicator is
illuminated. The charging indicator will begin to flicker when almost fully charged and
may shut off when fully charged.
3. Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct voltage.
If clipper is on, turn to off position when charging.
4. When clipper is not in use, it may be connected to the transformer and plugged into an
outlet to assure maximum power is available when it is next used. This transformer is
designed to charge the battery without overcharging.
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 recharging transformer, 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 charger 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.)

WAHL’S GUIDE TO FOOLPROOF ANIMAL CLIPPING
Assemble your supplies:
Clipper, oil, blades, slicker brush, attachment combs and comb, scissors, tear-free shampoo,
dryer, rubber bath mat, nail cutters. Be sure all your equipment is in good working condition
and easy to reach. Grooming should be done on a solid table (about 30” high) with a non-
slip surface to give your dog a steady and secure footing. A grooming post to secure the dog
would be of considerable aid. Good lighting is essential. The light should be adequately bright
and evenly distributed; there should be no shadows.
BEFORE YOU CUT
Brush out coat thoroughly
a) Remove all snarls, knots, tangles and mats.
b) Part the hair and brush on 1” sections-brush from the skin out.
Bath Time
a) Soak the dog thoroughly.
b) Apply shampoo and work into a good lather.
c) Pay particular attention to the rectum and pads (bottom of the paws).
d) Be careful also not to get soap in the dog’s eyes (for safety use a “tear-free” shampoo).
e) Rinse very thoroughly.
f) Squeeze legs, ears and tail.
g) Towel dry
h) Fluff dry or brush and dry.
• Start with the legs using a wire brush and moving up to the body.
• Direct dryer to the area you are brushing. Do one spot at a time.
• Use light, fluffing strokes.
• There should be no snags or tangles when you are done.
CUTTING HAIR
The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount until you become accustomed to how long
each guide leaves the hair. Depending on your model, the following guide combs may be
included in your kit.
Always start by placing the largest guide comb on the clipper, then use shorter combs if
desired length is shorter.
Guide Comb #1—leaves hair approx. 1/8”
Guide Comb #2—leaves hair approx. 1/4”
Guide Comb #3—leaves hair approx. 3/8”
Guide Comb #4—leaves hair approx. 1/2”
To attach combs, hold comb with teeth up and snap it firmly to the bottom of the clipper blade.
For uniform cutting, allow the clipper to cut its way through the hair.
Do not force it through at a faster rate.
Tips For All Breeds of Dogs
1) Before clipping your puppy for the first time, run the clipper near the puppy’s ear for a short
time so he gets used to the noise.
2) If clipping for the first time, the clipping process will be slow. Try to move with the dog
when clipping. After a few grooming sessions, you will develop your own comfortable style
and grooming will go faster.
3) Take your time when grooming, and use a lot of affection. Dogs know when you’re in a
hurry and will react by getting nervous, making grooming more difficult.
4) It is very important to trim out excess hair on the pads. Otherwise the pads will become
dirty and matted, causing painful walking for the dog.
Grooming Your Poodle
Because their hair grows so rapidly, poodles need to be groomed much more often than other
breeds.
Feet:
1) Have dog sit facing you. Bring rear leg forward (Fig. 1) and clip sides of foot
from nail to end of toes. Clip on top of toes, stopping at ankle joint. Don’t trim up
ankle. Spread toes apart with thumb and forefinger (Fig. 2). Cut hair between toes,
being careful not to nick foot webbing.
2) Spread bottom pads with thumb and clip between toes and pads, being careful
not to nick foot webbing (Fig. 3).
3) Repeat for other three feet. Touch up stray hair with scissors.
Tail:
1) Stand dog with tail toward you. Hold tail with one hand and clip top and sides AGAINST
the grain from the middle toward the body. Clip bottom WITH the grain from the bottom
toward the middle (Fig. 4).
2) Comb out pompon at end of tail and use scissors to trim the largest ball possible.
3) With scissors, carefully clip around anal opening.
Face and Throat:
1) Be very careful around this area-too close of a cut may cause razor burns. Cut AGAINST
grain. The area to be clipped is shown in Figs. 5-8. Bend ears back and use a cloth band to
keep topknot (bangs) out of clipping area. The clipper is not to be used above eyes.
Note: You may want to “rough trim” this area first, cutting WITH the grain.
2) Hold muzzle with your free hand. Cut from ear to the outside corner of eye in a
straight line. Stretch the skin at the outside corner of left eye upward and backward.
Clip CAREFULLY under the eye. (Use Fig. 5 and 6 as your guide.) Repeat on other
side.
3) With free hand, stretch the corner of the mouth with your thumb, using the rest of
your hand to hold mouth shut. Clip around mouth and side of face. Repeat on other
side.
4) Holding muzzle, clip the area between the eyes and down the nose.
5) To clip the muzzle, clip away from the eyes toward the nose. Hold dog’s head, throat
taut, and clip bottom of muzzle (Fig. 8). The Adam’s apple is usually the stopping
point of the cut, but you may clip lower.
6) Clip the rest of the throat area toward the muzzle.
7) If you desire your poodle to have a mustache, clip to angle the top of the mustache even
with the crack of the mouth. Then trim a straight cut around the chin.
Stomach:
1) Stand dog facing you. Lift front legs and clip from a point above the testicles or vulva in
a straight line to the end of the rib cage, using Fig. 9 as a guide. DO NOT clip up leg.
Use light pressure, being careful to not nick vulva, penis, testicles or nipples. Cover
them with your hand.
2) Clip the hair on penis with the grain.
Body:
Tip: Stop frequently while clipping to fluff the hair. It will help keep the hair even.
1) Clip along the back, starting at the base of the skull, and cut down the middle of the
back to the tail (Fig. 10). Shorten all hair as shown in the illustration, starting at the
neck.
2) See Fig. 11. Clip hair between the shoulders and hips. Clip under the chest from
behind the front legs to the end of the rib cage.
3) Scissor trim to touch up.
Rear Legs:
IMPORTANT: Be very careful when clipping around the
“armpit” and the flank. These are areas of skin that are easy to
cut; especially on older dogs whose skin has loosened.
1) Brush the hair on the back legs in an upward and outward motion to fluff. You can
now shape the legs as full or as tapered as you wish.
2) Start by trimming any hair that falls over the foot (Fig.12).
3) Starting at ankle, cut up to hip a little hair at a time (Fig. 13). Once you are at the
hip, blend hair so it tapers into shorter body hair. (When using guide combs on the
legs, complete your stroke; don’t stop midway.)
4) Repeat with other back leg, making it the same size as the first leg.
5) Touch up with scissors.
Front Legs:
1) With dog facing you, comb hair up and out.
2) Trim front legs to match back legs.
3) Comb up hair at shoulders and blend it with shorter body hair.
4) Comb hair on chest and between front legs; trim it to the length of the shoulder and body hair.
Head:
1) With dog facing you, comb hair on top of the head (topknot) upward and forward (Fig. 14).
2) Scissor cut a square or round topknot.
3) Blend lower topknot hair with the shorter neck hair.
Ears:
1) With dog facing you, clip from top of the ear downward. NEVER turn clipper in other
direction.
2) Lay the ear in the palm of your hand. Clip the outside of the ear first, and then the inside
(Fig. 15).
3) Hold ear with your free hand and scissor cut the sides. Be careful not to cut the ear itself
(Fig. 16).
4) Repeat with other ear, and touch up any stray hairs.
Schnauzer
IMPORTANT: Trim your Schnauzer at least once before cropping ears. Otherwise your
dog will probably associate clipping with cropping and make grooming difficult.
1) With dog standing, clip top of back from the base of the skull to the base of the tail.
Clip throat, front and sides of body and tail. Clip these areas with the grain. Clip sides
and back of rear legs toward hock; curve the sides into the hock. Do not clip the front of the
rear legs.
2) Clip stomach from rear to front. Clip penis hair carefully with the grain. Clip skull
from point above eyebrows to the base of the skull and to the ears. Clip from
the outside corner of the eyes to the base of the ears and to the corner of the
mouth.
3) Clip both sides of ears from the base to the tip.
4) Scissor cut and trim front legs to gain a rounded and straight appearance.
Scissor trim rear legs. Scissor trim eyebrows, muzzle and mustache to achieve
a straight and square look.
Airedale, Irish, Lakeland, Welsh and Wire Fox Terriers
If you plan to show your terrier and he has a wire coat, stripping, not clipping, is required.
However, clipping is a far easier method of grooming for both pet and groomer.
Clip the same way as the Schnauzer, except the rear legs which
do not need clipping. Clip to blend sides of the dog into the hips.
Scissor cut and trim the eyebrows, muzzle and mustache to the
recognized standard of the particular breed of dog.
Cockers, Setters and Spaniels
Sporting dogs generally require little clipping. However, long-haire breeds can be more
effective in the field when properly groomed. Dogs should be clipped several weeks in
advance of the hunting season to facilitate better hunting,
offer greater comfort to the dog, and make coat care easier.
Clipping also allows growth of the shorter, denser coat that provides warmth and more
resistance to burrs and stickers.
1) Clipping with the grain, clip the neck, shoulders and chest. Blend the hair
into the body and lower chest. Clip legs and tail.
2) Clip body, if needed. It is suggested that dog’s hair be cut to 1/2” to 3/4”
long. This may detract from the dog’s “looks,” but is sensible for a dog used
in hunting.
3) After a day in the field, comb your dog’s coat. A “tangle-remover” spray will
help get rid of burrs.
