RECHARGING

1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It should be allowed to charge overnight before first use.
2. Remove the trimmer, recharging transformer and accessories from the packing material.
3. Connect the transformer to the trimmer. BE SURE TRIMMER IS IN THE "OFF-0" POSITION WHEN CHARGING.
4. Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct voltage.
5. When trimmer is low in power, it should 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 continuously charge the battery without overcharging.
6. Ni-Cad battery life may be extended with the following procedure: Once every month, let the trimmer run until the motor stops. Move the switch to the "OFF-0" position and recharge fully overnight.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your Trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair

1. Check outlet current by plugging in another appliance.
2. Make sure the outlet simply is not connected to a light switch which turns the power at the outlet off when lights are turned off.
3. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging transformer, all connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is turned "OFF-0."
4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the trimmer 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 trimmer 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.)

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.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. You may find different procedures work better for you.

2. Attach the guide comb to trim and taper your beard. With the blades pointing toward you, begin with the 5-position guide 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 i naturally lly lays the trimmer will cut the hair much shorter and the result may be patchy. Adjust the guide comb to progressively shorter settings until you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the guide comb 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. Always be sure the guide is snapped solidly into the desired position before you start to trim
3. Remove the 5-position guide and cut the outline of your beard. 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.
6. For a neater finished look, use the guide comb on position 2. Then, using the trimmer in an upward motion, start trimming under the chin with short, outward, rolling strokes. Continue trimming until entire jawline is blended.

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 guide 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 guide comb 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 guide and, using only the bare blades, make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache
