OIL:
The blades on your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts. Place a few drops of Wahl
Clipper Oil on the teeth (front) as well as at the back side of the blade. 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.
IF YOUR CLIPPER IS TOO NOISY:
(A) Oil blades as directed in previous section of this
instruction booklet.
(B) You can reduce the “clatter sound” by adjusting the
power screw. The power screw was adjusted for peak
efficiency before leaving the factory. However, if voltage in
your home is too high or low; the clipper power screw may
need adjustment.
ADJUST POWER SCREW TO REDUCE CLIPPER NOISE
(excessive clattering):
1. Turn your clipper “ON”
2. Use the end of the cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn power screw in a COUNTER
CLOCKWISE direction until clatter goes away.
ADJUST POWER SCREW FOR MAXIMUM POWER SETTING:
1. Turn your clipper “ON”
2. Use the end of the cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn power screw in a CLOCKWISE
direction until you hear a clattering noise.
3. Then turn power screw in opposite direction (COUNTER CLOCKWISE) until clattering
stops.
CORD:
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.
YOUR CLIPPER HAS A POLARIZED PLUG: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this
appliance has a polarized plug (one plug blade is wider than the other). This plug fits in a
polarized outlet only one way. In the event the plug doesn’t fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. DO NOT CHANGE THE PLUG IN ANY WAY.
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.
ALIGNING CLIPPER BLADES:
Your Wahl clipper blades were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory. Blades may need
to be realigned if they have been bumped or removed for cleaning. To determine if realignment
is necessary, compare your clipper blades with this sketch.
1. If your clipper has a taper lever, position the lever in the closest cut (up) position.
2. End of top blade teeth should be approximately 1/32-inch (.64 mm) back from bottom blade.
3. Extreme left-hand tooth of top blade must be covering or to the left of the first small tooth
of bottom blade.
4. Extreme right-hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.
If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the blades, turn clipper
“ON” for a few moments, turn “OFF” and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust. Tighten
screws after blades are aligned. Other than blades, this clipper has no user-serviceable parts.
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.

7. For cutting top of head, use the guard with
the next highest number than in step 6. Start at

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
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.

To achieve a “tapered” cut around the ears, use the left and right tapered attachment guards
EARS
Some kits do not include ear taper guards.
• 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.
