TIPS & TECHNIQUES
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.
STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIR
BLENDING
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.

CLIPPER MAINTENANCE
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.
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.
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
- Remove the clipper, recharging transformer and accessories from the packing material.
- 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.
- After initial charge, clipper can be “Quick Charged” for 15 minutes. This should allow enough power for one haircut.
- Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct voltage.If clipper is on, turn to off position when charging.
- 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.
- 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.
- The charging indicator light will illuminate when your clipper is in the “OFF” position andconnected to its charger. The clipper cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it asoften as desired.
- The cord should not be used to pull the clipper. Since freedom of movement needs to bemaintained, 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:
- Check outlet operation by plugging in another appliance.
- Make sure the outlet is not connected to a switch which turns the power at the outlet off.
- Be sure the clipper is properly connected to the recharging transformer, all connections aresecure and the switch on the clipper is turned “OFF – 0.”
- 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 pluggedinto a dead outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
- If clipper does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit “ON – I” and pinch orpush the blades manually. (Oil may have dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together.)
LITHIUM-ION BATTERY REPLACEMENT, CLIPPER DISPOSAL AND RECYCLING:
- For battery replacement send the entire, intact clipper unit to:Wahl Annex 3001 North Locust, P.O. Box 578, Sterling, IL 61081

- If you choose not to replace the battery, the entire, intact clipper unit must be disposed. Do not attempt to remove the battery for disposal. Lithium-Ion batteries may be subject to local disposal regulations. Many locations prohibit disposal in standard waste receptacles. Check your local laws and regulations.
- For recycling contact a government recycling agency, waste disposal service, retailer, or visit online recycling sources, such as www.batteryrecycling.com or www.rbrc.org.
EASY-TO-USE ATTACHMENT GUARDS
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.
ADDING GUARDS: Pictured in fig A & fig B
Before adding guards, make sure the on/off switch is turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.
- While holding at a slight angle, place the attachment guard onto the clipper so the tips of the blade rests into the slots of the guard fingers. (fig A)
- Using your thumb, push down on the guard, where the guard size number is located, until you hear a “SNAP”. (fig B)
REMOVING GUARDS: Pictured in fig CBefore removing guards, make sure the on/off switch is turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.
- While holding the top of attachment guard, place your thumb on the underside of the attachment guard tab. Push up on tab to remove guard from clipper. (fig C)
EARS
To achieve a “tapered” cut around the ears, use the left and right tapered attachment guards

A) First, starting behind the RIGHT ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closestto the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear. Repeatas needed.fig B) Second, starting on the front of the LEFT ear, (so shorter portion of guard fingersare closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of theear.

YOUR NEW CLIPPER
BATTERY TRIMMER INSTRUCTIONSSelect clipper kits include a battery trimmer, your kit may or may not include a trimmer
- Remove battery cover from clipper by pushing in and back on the plastic door in the direction of the arrow.
- 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.
- Replace battery cover to its original position.
- Move switch to “ON” position to use.
- To maximize battery life, trimmer should be shut “OFF” immediately after using.
