Haircutting

Middle

1. No attachments needed.

Start with the sideburns.

2. Continue around ear as

shown.

3. Trim neckline as shown.

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.

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

to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear. Repeat

are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the

ear. Repeat as needed.

clipper.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIRTIPS & TECHNIQUES

EARS

CLIPPER MAINTENANCE

OIL:

The blades on your new clipper should be oiled every few

haircuts. For best results, place three drops on front of

each 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.

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.

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.

BATTERY TRIMMER INSTRUCTIONS

Select clipper kits include a battery trimmer, your kit may or may not include a trimmer

1. Remove battery cover from clipper 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.

4. Move switch to “ON” position to use.

5. To maximize battery life, trimmer should be shut “OFF” immediately after using.

Some kits do not include all size Wahl guards. Some kits include colored 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.

BLENDING

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. The charging indicator will begin to

flicker when almost fully 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.

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.)
