THIS CLIPPER WAS DESIGNED FOR COMMERCIAL USE
DIRECTIONS FOR OPERATING
Electric Clipper
YOUR WAHL ELECTRIC CLIPPER WILL GIVE YEARS OF SATISFACTORY SERVICE
IF YOU WILL PUT A FEW DROPS OF OIL ON THE BLADES BEFORE AND AFTER
EACH HAIRCUT.
1. Put a small drop of Wahl Clipper Oil between the blades after each use. Oil should be applied
while the clipper is running. After cutting wet hair, clean the blades and apply a small drop of
Wahl Clipper Oil. Use Wahl Clipper Oil ONLY. Apply the oil after each use.
2. Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or replacement.
3. Streaks and missing hair are caused by a gummy sticky surface on the blades, so keep your
clipper clean and the blades well oiled.
4. Clattering when turning the clipper on or off may occur on some clippers. It is of no
consequence. The same is true if your clipper heats up after 20-25 minutes of use.
5. Make sure cord is not twisted or kinked while unit is charging or being stored.
6. To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry or dampened cloth. Do not use benzene or thinner to
clean the unit.
On the Wahl Clipper
The bottom blade holes are larger than the shanks of the blade screws. When the blade screws
are loosened the bottom blade can be aligned with the top blade. Keep the screws tight after the
blade is aligned.
1. End of top blade teeth should be 1/32" to 1/16", .79 mm to 1.59 mm back from bottom
blade. This is important so that the clipper doesn't cut too close or allow the moving cutter to
touch the skin.
2. Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be covering or be to the left of the first small tooth
of bottom blade.
3. Extreme right hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.
On Clippers Using "Adjusto-Lock" Blades
To remove the blades loosen only center screw. Leave the two outside screws tight as they hold
bushings in place to keep alignment of blades. Keep screws tight wehn in operation.
CORD
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 or 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.
TAPER LEVER
Some clippers are equipped with an adjustable taper lever that changes the closeness of your
cut. When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give the closest cut. Pulling the
lever downward gradually increases the cutting length.
POWER SCREW
(Not found on all clipper models.) To adjust power, turn power screw in clockwise direction
until clipper makes a noise caused by the armature hitting the coil. Then, slowly turn power
screw out (counter-clock-wise) just until noise stops. This is maximum power.
WARNING
If this appliance is fitted with a BSI 1363 13 Amp British plug, and the molded plug fitted to this
item is not suitable for your socket outlet, it should be CUT OFF AND DESTROYED.
Important wiring instructions: The wires in the mains lead are colored in accordance with the
following code: BLUE - NEUTRAL BROWN - LIVE.
As the colors of the wires in the mains lead of this appliance may not correspond with the
colored markings identifying the terminals i your plug, proceed as follows:
The wire which is colored blue must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the letter
N or colored black.
The wire which is colored brown must be connected to the terminal which is marked with the
letter L or colored red.
If a 13 amp (BS 1363) plug is used, a 3 amp fuse must be fitted, or if any other type of plug is
used , a 5 amp fuse must be fitted either in the plug or adapter at the distribution
board. Replacement fuses should be ASTA approved to BS 1362.
Fuse cover must be refitted when changing the fuse. If fuse cover is lost, the plug must not be
used until a replacement is obtained. Information for obtaining the correct fuse carrier is marked
on the carrier itself and in the bottom of the fuse cavity on the plug. These may be obtained from
Wahl.
If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a
similarly qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
