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.

Right Ear Taper
Left Ear Taper
• Clipper Charger
1. No attachments needed.
Start with the sideburns.
2. Continue around ear as
shown.
3. Trim neckline as shown.
Use clipper or battery trimmer (not all kits include a trimmer).
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.
To achieve a “tapered” cut around the ears, use the left and right tapered attachment guards
1) Attach the “R” RIGHT attachment guard to the clipper.
fig. A) First, 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. Repeat
as needed.
fig B) Second, 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. Repeat as needed.
2) Repeat, except now using the “L” LEFT guard. Attach the “L” LEFT attachment guard to the
clipper.
fig. A) First, 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. Repeat
as needed.
fig. B) Second, 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. Repeat as needed.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIRTIPS & TECHNIQUES

CLIPPER MAINTENANCE
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.

BATTERY TRIMMER 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.
USING TRIMMER/DETAILER:
1. Oil & clean blades as noted for clipper.
2. Move switch to “on” position to begin use.
3. See directions for detailing/outlining for best
uses of battery trimmer.
1 Battery
2 Batteries
OIL:
The blades on your new clipper should
be oiled every few haircuts. For best
results, place three drops on front of
the blade and one drop on each side
of the blade as shown. Use only Wahl
Clipper oil (a small bottle is included in
this kit, additional oil can be purchased
separately, see www.grooming. Wahl.
com for details).
DO NOT USE
HAIR OIL, GREASE, OR ANY
OIL MIXED WITH KEROSENE
OR ANY SOLVENT.
CLEANING:
To remove hair from between the blades, use the cleaning brush provided.
DO NOT USE
WATER TO CLEAN THE BLADES.
For best results, after brush cleaning the blades, add
Wahl clipper oil to the blades.
TAPER LEVER:
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing
you to gradually change the closeness of your cut. (Up
position = closest cut; Down position = longest cut).
Should the blades become jammed with hair, move the
taper lever up and down several times. This will help free
up the blades.
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. After
the first charge, it will also take 3 to 5 hours to fully recharge the battery. During
charging, the charging indicator is illuminated
(NOTE: Not all kits include a clipper with
a charge indicator)
. The charging indicator will begin to flicker when almost full charged
and may shut off when fully charged.
3. After initial charge, clipper can be “Quick Charged” for 15 minutes. This should allow
enough power for one haircut.
4. Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct voltage.
If clipper is on, turn to off position when charging.
5. 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.
6. The charge cord should be removed from the clipper when not charging. Leaving the
power cord connected to the clipper without being plugged in may cause the battery to
drain.
7. The charging indicator light will illuminate when your clipper is in the “OFF” position and
connected to its charger. The clipper cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as
often as desired.
8.
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 unit placed in original box or storage case (if
provided), away from children.
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.)

• Attachment guards help you cut
hair to a desired length by keeping
the blades at a set distance from the
skin helping ensure an even hair
length. For reference, each guard is
numbered and also lists the length
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.
