OUTLINING:
No attachments are needed. Comb hair into desired style. Starting
between the ear and the sideburns, as shown at left, hold clipper with
corner edge of blade against the hairline. Slowly follow the desired
outline of the hair over, around and behind the ears. For
defining sideburns and the back of the neck, hold the clipper
upside down, against the skin at the desired
length and move down.
Comb hair and check that sides are even.
Check for uneven spots throughout the haircut.
CREW CUTS AND SHORT CUTS
Starting with the longest guide comb, cut from the back of the neck to
the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move
the clipper through the hair, as shown.
Use the same procedure from the lower side to
the upper side of the head, as shown. Then cut
the hair against the direction in which it grows,
from the front to the crown, and even up the cut
with the sides.
To give a “flattop” look, the hair on top of the
head must be cut over the top of a flat comb,
rather than using the guide comb.
Use closer-cutting guide combs to “taper” the
hair down to the neckline, as desired. Comb
hair and check for uneven spots. Outline sideburns and neckline as pre-
viously described.
If a short, tapered cut on the sides and back is desired, follow the dia-
gram at left.
The five basic areas illustrated on the Wahl
haircutting guide are your “road map” to easy, do-it-yourself haircutting.
For tips on the latest trends and fashions in haircutting, visit us at www.
wahlhaircuts.com.
This entire procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave too
much hair the first few haircuts.
For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use the 1" guide
comb (If your kit includes the 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” guide comb, you may use this for
a slightly longer cut.) With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start trimming
from the front to the back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the first few
haircuts.
FOR LONGER HAIR ON TOP:
By not using a guide comb, a longer cut can be achieved. Use either a bar-
ber comb or a regular comb and lift the hair on top of the head, cutting over
the comb, or grasp the hair between the fingers and cut to desired length.
Continue this procedure from the front to the back of the head, gradually cut-
ting the hair shorter by reducing the space between the comb or fingers and
the head. Comb frequently to remove trimmed hair and check for uneven
strands.
TAPERING AROUND EARS:
USING LEFT AND RIGHT EAR GUIDE COMBS
The Left and Right Ear Guide Combs have a built in taper ranging from 1/8”
to 1/2”. By following the outline of the ear with the appropriate comb you
achieve a gradual taper and blending without having to use multiple combs.
TO TAPER THE AREA BORDERING THE LEFT EAR:
Attach the Left Ear Taper Comb to your clipper and stand facing the left ear.
While holding the clipper at a slight angle against the head, position the
guide comb just back of the left ear at the hairline. Then move the clipper
in a small half circle pattern around the left ear toward the front of the head.
Depending on the length of hair you are working with you may need to take
several small strokes as you proceed around the ear. When doing so, slowly
move the clipper upward and outward being mindful of the ear. This will
allow you to guide hair into the comb towards the clipper blades.
NOTE: You may also achieve a tapering of sideburns by including the side-
burn area as you begin to move the clipper around the ear.
TO TAPER THE AREA BORDERING THE RIGHT EAR:
Attach the Right Ear Guide Comb to your clipper. Stand facing the right ear
and repeat the process described above for the left ear.
Finish by outlining the area around the ear as described in the following
section.
USING GUIDE COMBS:
INDIVIDUAL GUIDE COMB LISTING:
1/8” (3mm) 1/2” (13mm)
1/4” (6mm) Right Ear Taper
3/8” (10mm) Left Ear Taper
CUTTING HAIR
FOR MEDIUM TO LONG CUTS:
The first time you cut the hair, cut only a small amount until you become
accustomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair. Always
start by placing the largest guide comb on the clipper, then use shorter
combs (or settings - if using adjustable guide combs) if a shorter length
is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all
over the head and a light trimming at the lower neck and
sides may be all that is needed to bring back that neat, well-
groomed look.
For uniform cutting, allow the clipper to cut its way through
the hair. Do not force it through at a faster rate.
1 Start by combing the hair so it falls into its
natural direction.
2 Place the largest guide comb onto your clipper
and start by trimming the sides from the bottom
upwards. Hold the clipper lightly against the hair,
with teeth of the guide comb pointing up but flat
against the head. Slowly lift the clipper up and
outward through the hair, cutting only a small
amount at a time.
Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you desire shorter hair, either change to a shorter guide comb (or set-
ting - if using adjustable guide combs) or apply more pressure and less
lift away from head with the present attachment.
CLIPPER MAINTENANCE
OIL
The blades of your new clipper
should be oiled every few hair-
cuts. 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
The cord should not be used to pull the clipper. Since freedom of move-
ment 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).
If your clipper has a polarized plug: To reduce the risk of electric shock,
this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other).
This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. In the event the plug does
not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. In the event it still does not fit,
contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the
plug in any way.
WAHL'S GUIDE TO FOOLPROOF HAIRCUTTING
BEFORE YOU CUT HAIR
1 Your clipper should be clean, oiled and in perfect working condition.
2 Position the person whose hair is to be cut on a stool or chair so that
the top of his head is about even with your eyes.
3 After combing the hair to remove all tangles, hold the clipper in a
relaxed, comfortable grip, with the nameplate under the palm near your
index finger. This grip will help you maintain comfortable, accurate cutting
control.
NOTE: To attach guide combs, hold comb with the
teeth up. Snap guide comb attachment firmly to
the bottom of the clipper blade.
