YOUR NEW CLIPPER

YOUR NEW BATTERY TRIMMER

BATTERY INSTRUCTIONS

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

1. Remove the battery cover from the trimmer 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 for approximately three hours on alkaline batteries.
3. Replace the battery cover to its original position.
4. Move the switch to the “ON” position to use.
5. To maximize battery life, the trimmer should be shut “OFF” immediately after use.

EARS

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

• Attach the “R” RIGHT attachment guard to the clipper.
  A) First, starting behind the RIGHT ear (so a shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear. Repeat as needed.
  B)  Second, starting on the front of the LEFT ear, (so a shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the ear.  Repeat as needed.
  

• Repeat, except now using the “L” LEFT guard. Attach the “L” LEFT attachment guard to the clipper.
  A) First, starting behind the LEFT ear (so a shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear.  Repeat as needed.
  fig. B) Second, starting on the front of the RIGHT ear, (so a shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the ear.  Repeat as needed.

EASY-TO-USE ATTACHMENT GUARDS

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.

1. While holding at a slight angle, place the attachment guard onto the clipper so the tips of the blade rest into the slots of the guard fingers. (fig A)
2. 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

Before removing guards, make sure the on/off switch is turned to the “0” or “OFF” position.

1. While holding the top of the attachment guard, place your thumb on the underside of the attachment guard tab. Push up on the tab to remove the guard from the clipper. (fig C)

Some kits do not include all-size Wahl guards

• Attachment guards help you cut hair to a desired length by keeping the blades at a 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.

CLIPPER MAINTENANCE

To remove hair from between the blades, use the cleaning brush provided.  Be sure to use Wahl Clipper Oil between the blades before each use.  Before replacing the blades, be sure the top blades move freely.
To reattach the blade, place the hook at the bottom of the blade set into the space provided on the clipper housing.  Then pivot the blade set toward the housing.  Once it is seated, snap the blade set to the case so that you hear a click.

WASHING BLADES

The blades are washable directly around the blade area housing only.  Avoid washing all areas around the on/off switch and power adaptor connection areas.
Note: Do not submerge under water.

OIL

The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts. 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 that will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades.

CORD CARE

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 the unit placed in the original box or storage pouch (if provided), away from children.

CLIPPER/RECYCLING OF BATTERIES

Depending on your use, your batteries should last five years.  At the end of its life, when it can no longer take a full charge, it cannot be replaced. The clipper must be discarded, but first, the battery must be removed & recycled properly.  To do so, follow these steps.

1. Make sure the on/off switch is in the “0” (OFF) position and that the cord is NOT plugged into the clipper or any electrical outlet.
2. Remove blade assembly from clipper and remove screws and retainer plate.
3. Remove the cover plate by releasing the visible cover “hooks” and pulling the cover away.
4. Locate the circuit board and battery and pry the battery off of the circuit board.
5. Apply tape to both ends of the battery before recycling or properly disposing of it.

RECHARGEABLE CORD/CORDLESS OPERATION

1. Before use, the clipper must be fully charged for 12 to 15 hours.
2. Once fully charged, the unit may be used without a cord.
3. After use, move the on/off switch to the “O” (OFF/CHARGE) position. Reconnect the clipper to the cord and recharge the batteries by connecting the cord to any convenient electrical outlet.
   NOTE: If the batteries have completely run out, the clipper can be used as a corded clipper (see the following “corded operation”).

CORDED OPERATION

1. Be sure the on/off switch is in the “O” (OFF) position.
2. Connect the clipper to the cord, and plug it into an electrical outlet.
3. Move the on/off switch to the “1” (ON) position.
4. After use, disconnect the cord from the outlet.

CLIPPER USE AND MAINTENANCE

1. A fully charged clipper can deliver up to 40-90 minutes of continuous use. (varies by product)
2. When the clipper is not in use, it should be connected to the cord to assure maximum power whenever it is used. The cord is designed to continuously charge the battery, without overcharging.
3. It is normal for the unit to become somewhat warm during normal use.
4. Avoid pressing the blades strongly against the skin, being especially careful around the ears. (The blades should be directed toward the skin at a right angle, but without significant pressure.)
5. After cutting damp hair, clean and oil the blades before storing the unit. Place a small drop of WAHL CLIPPER OIL ONLY on the ends of the blades then move the switch t the “1” (ON) position.
6. To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry, or dampened cloth. DO NOT USE benzene or thinner to clean the unit.
7. Do not store the clipper in a wet or moist environment.
8. To prolong blade life, do not use a clipper on hair that is coated with a permanent wave solution or hair spray.
9. Do not touch any of the internal mechanisms. If the unit should need repair, do not repair it yourself. Return it to Wahl Clipper Corporation.

REMOVING AND CLEANING DETACHABLE BLADES

To remove the blades – be sure the on/off switch is in the “O” (OFF) position. Hold the clipper firmly in one hand. Using the thumb of your other hand, simply push the blades away from the front of the clipper. The blades and mounting plate behind them will all come off in one piece.

TIPS & TECHNIQUES

When you cut your hair, you should visualize the head as if it were divided into four sections.  The 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 clippers.
• For best results, when cutting hair, go through the 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

1. Comb hair and remove tangles. Attach the largest attachment guard to the clipper.

2. Start at the hairline on side of the head and cut up to the middle of the head.
   Note: If the cut hair is too long repeat with the next smaller guard.

3. Continue around the head repeating step 2.

4. You are now ready to cut the middle portion of the hair.
   

5. Use the attachment guard with the next highest number than in step 3. Example: If you used a #6 guard in step 3, select guard #7.

6. Continue cutting around the middle portion of the head as in steps 2 and 3.

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

8. Cut across the top of the head. Comb hair on the entire head to assess if further cutting is necessary.

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 haircut.

1. Blend out any cut lines. Lines may form where you change guard sizes. Use the same guard used in step 3
2. Using a rocking motion, blend out the middle cut line.
3. Using the guard used in step 8 repeat blending the top outline as needed.

OUTLINING

1. No attachments are needed. Start with the sideburns.
2. Continue around the ear as shown.
3. Trim neckline as shown.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the clipper on wet hair?****

Yes, you may use the clipper on wet hair. However, we recommend that you wait until your hair is almost dry before using the clipper.

Can I use the clipper on children’s hair?****

Can I use the clipper on an infant’s hair?****

Yes, you can use the clipper on an infant’s hair. It is recommended that you have a professional cut your infant’s hair or that you practice first on a doll or stuffed animal before cutting your infant’s hair.

Can I use the trimmer on wet hair?****

No, we do not recommend using the trimmer on wet hair. It is recommended that you wait until your hair is almost dry before using the trimmer.

How durable are cordless hair clippers?****

The normal battery life of cordless clippers is 40 to 60 minutes. The cordless Wahl’s Magic Clip, which we previously noted, has the longest battery life at roughly 90 minutes.

How are cordless clippers cleaned?****

As you pull away from the clipper, make sure your thumbs are firmly placed against the teeth of the blade. Remove any hair or debris with a soft brush after removing the blade. Before use and after each cut, oiling should be done, being cautious to wipe away any excess oil.

How can I tell when my trimmer has finished charging?****

When the groomer is charging, the charging indicator on your cellphone will start to blink. Once the groomer is fully charged, the charging indicator will remain illuminated continuously for roughly 30 minutes before automatically turning off to save electricity.

Can I overnight charge my trimmer?****

To extend the battery life, run your trimmer all the way down and fully recharge it over the course of one or two months.

Can I charge my trimmer all night long?****

It is advised to avoid leaving lithium ion batteries on the charger for an extended period of time because overcharging them can harm them.

Can you cut wet hair with clippers?****

It’s nearly hard to trim hair that is dripping wet with clippers, so don’t even attempt. Your ability to create the desired style is greatly facilitated by a proper towel dry, which also prevents the clipper blades from rusting.

How should a trimmer be cleaned after use?****

DeAngelis advises using spray cleanser rather than soaking your clippers or trimmers while cleaning them. Like you would with an electric razor, wipe the blades with a brush, give them a quick spritz of cleaner, allow them to air dry, and then add a drop of oil.

Can cordless shears be operated while charging?****

Although you can use it while it charges, the manual states that it won’t keep charging as you use it (that is, when connected to electricity).

What drawbacks are there to utilizing a trimmer?****

When it comes to quality, a good trimmer often costs a lot of money. The second flaw is that, unless it’s a high-end one, it consumes a lot of electricity. If the gadget is not used cautiously, it could burn the skin.

How much battery power does the trimmer need?****

This trimmer needs to be charged for about 8 hours in order to fully recharge. After charging, it can be used wirelessly for up to 35 minutes.
