OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS
If you are using an electric shaver for the first time, your skin will
probably need to condition itself to this new shaving technique.
Start on the easiest part of the face first, usually the smooth portion of the
face below the ear. Shave with a light touch and use your Wahl Shaver
exclusively for three to four weeks, or longer if you have sensitive skin or
if your whiskers grow at different angles in certain areas. Initially your
shaves may not be as close as you would like, and your skin may become a bit
irritated. But if you stick with it, you will eventually get great shaves.
If you go several days without shaving and your beard gets a bit long, use the
pop-up trimmer to go over your beard, catching all the longer hairs and
setting up the remaining stubble for the foil to shave smooth and clean.
If you have been using another type of electric shaver before, there may also
be a period of conditioning prior to receiving maximum results.
QUICK TIPS & HANDY REMINDERS
- If you are a first-time electric shaver user, or changing from another brand, there will be a 2 to 3 week (or less) adjustment period while your face and beard adapts to the new foil.
- When you open your package, charge your shaver for 1 hour before the first shave or until charging is complete.
- Replace the foil head and cutter bars every 12 months or if foils are damaged. Replacement foils can be ordered by contacting WAHL customer Services.
- Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bars and foil after every three or four shaves.
- Use the pop-up long-hair trimmer to snip stray hairs.
- Keep using and both your face and beard will adapt to the shaver.
TRAVEL LOCK
The Wahl Shaver comes with an electronic travel lock to avoid accidental
activation while transporting.
Hold power button down for 3 seconds to engage travel lock.
Hold power button down for 3 seconds to disengage travel lock.
When travel lock is active, pressing the power button will cause the LED(s) to
flash for 1 second.
NOTE: The shaver will not charge while the travel lock is engaged
CHARGING OPERATION
The shaver cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often as desired.
However, periodic recharging of the shaver, rather than continuous recharging,
will prolong battery life.
60 minutes charge time will provide you with 90 minutes cordless operation.
MODELS WITH 1 LED
Charge when shaver seems to lose power or run slower. The charging LED will light up while charging. LED will turn off when charging is complete.
MODELS WITH 2 LEDS
The red LED will flash for one second when turning off the shaver when it is
time to charge (below 10%).
The blue LED will light up while charging. LED will turn off when charging is
complete.
MODELS WITH 5 LEDS
The LED meter will show the amount of charge left on the shaver.The fewer
lights that are lit, the lower the charge on the battery is.The red LED will
flash for one second when turning off the shaver when it is time to charge
(below 10%).
While charging, the LED meter will show the progression of charging. All LEDs
will turn off when charging is complete.
WARNING. Do not operate the shaver if the shaving foil is damaged.
SHAVING PROCEDURES FOR FAST, CLOSE SHAVES
We suggest that you thoroughly cleanse and completely dry your skin prior to
shaving. For maximum speed and efficiency, hold the shaver so that both
screens are in contact with the skin.
When shaving the upperlip or neck, hold shaver so that the uppermost screen is
in contact with skin.
Shave both with and against the grain of the
beard, and stretch the skin taut in the path of the shaver.
Guide the dual foil heads gently back and forth, primarily against the grain
of the beard. Do not press screen heads hard against face. Heavy scrubbing
action with the shaver could damage the foil and will not result in a closer
shave.
Always replace the foil guard to protect the delicate dual foil heads when
shaver is off.
SHAVING HEAVY BEARD GROWTH
Begin shaving in a less dense area of the beard. Move the shaver in a
circular motion on a small area of the face (this picks up the hairs that grow
in all directions).
When you see that this small area is shaved clean, gradually move into a new
area while still using the circular motion.Continue this motion, one small
section at a time, until entire face is shaved.
If your beard has more than 3 days
of growth, use the pop-up Long-Hair Trimmer to cut the beard down to about a
one-day growth before using the shaver foil.
LONG-HAIR TRIMMER OPERATION
Your shaver features a special longhair trimmer located on the back of the
shaver which telescopes up from the foil head for precise and easy trimming of
sideburns, beards or moustaches,and for removing long hairs from the neck.
And, as mentioned earlier, it can be used to “knock down” heavy beard growth
prior to shaving with the foil. To use, remove Foil Guard and simply push the
Long-Hair Trimmer Switch in an upward motion until trimmer slides (clicks)
into position. Push On/Off Switch. Then begin trimming/styling
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE SHAVER HEAD CARE
For maximum performance, we recommend you clean your shaver after every few
shaves. Any servicing, other than replacement of foil head and cutter bars,
should be performed by an authorised Wahl Service Center or Wahl customer
services.
To
clean, turn shaver “OFF” and remove the foil head by pushing the shaver head
release buttons on the sides of the shaver and lifting the foil head upward.
Lightly tap the open side of the foil head on a hard surface to remove the
majority of loose stubble particles.
Be careful not to tap the foil.
For easy cleaning, you may rinse your shaver with water.
While the
foils can be rinsed, we recommend removing the foil head, and rinsing the
cutter bars. This will allow any hairs still on the cutter bars to be washed
away. Leaving the foil head on while rinsing makes in more difficult for hairs
to be washed clean.
TO REMOVE CUTTER BAR
Turn shaver off. Remove the foil head and, holding the shaver in one hand,
gently pull up on cutter bar. Be sure your thumb and first finger are
positioned at each end of the cutter bar. WARNING: Handle cutting
components with care to avoid personal injury.
NOTE: If you do not hold the cutter bar as shown, brushing the blades
could result in damage to the assembly. When the foil head and cutter bars are
removed from the shaver, an alternate cleaning method is to rinse them under
running water. Simply let them air dry. After cleaning, replace the cutter
bars by pressing down gently. Carefully replace the foil head, snapping it
into place. From time to time, depending on the density of your beard, you
will need to replace the cutters and foils. If you notice that it is taking
you longer to shave, or if your face starts to feel some irritation, or if the
foil seems to become warm to the touch, it is probably time to replace the
cutters and foils.
Replace the cutters and foils only with WAHL parts. Please contact Wahl
customer services for replacement.
OILING THE FOILS & CUTTER BAR
Oil lubrication helps maintain smooth blade movement and shaving performance.
If the shaver is regularly cleaned under water. The Foils should be oiled at
least once per week. Use clipper oil or shaver oil.
Instructions: When foils and blades are clean and dry, apply a drop of oil to
the top of each foil and on top of the center cutter bar. Use finger to gently
spread the oil over the surface. Turn the shaver on for 10 seconds to help
distribute the oil onto the blades below. Turn off shaver and use a tissue or
soft cloth to wipe any excess oil from the surface.
CLEANING & OILING TRIMMER BLADES
Clean with the included brush. For best results, put one or two drops of blade
oil on the blades only when necessary, or approximately once a month.
Motor bearings are permanently lubricated—do not attempt to oil. When oiling
your shaver, turn the shaver “ON – I,” hold the unit with the blades facing
DOWN and squeeze one or two drops of oil onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil
with soft cloth.
Blade oil can be purchased from Wahl customer services.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER OIL!
Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if allowed to
seep back into motor.
FOIL & BLADE CARE
Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and lapped cutting teeth.
Foils, cutter bar, and blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or
used to cut dirty or abrasive material.
STORAGE
Before storing your shaver, use the cleaning brush to whisk any loose hairs
from the unit, foils, cutter bar, and blades. Store unit in such a manner so
that blades are protected from damage. When the shaver is not in use, the
shaver foil/blade guard attachment should be in place to protect the blades.
This appliance should be stored in a manner where it is not subjected to
crushing, heating above 100°C (212°F), or incineration.
CORD CARE
The cord should not be used to pull the shaver. Freedom of movement needs to
be maintained. Care should be used to keep the cord untwisted and undamaged.
When stored, the cord should be coiled and replaced neatly in its original
package or storage pouch.
WET/DRY USE
NOTE: Do not submerge shaver in more than 3 feet of water or for more
than 30 minutes to prevent water ingress into the electronics.
Warranty is void if shaver is submerged beyond these limitations.
The Wahl shaver is designed to be water resistant and shower proof (IPX7).
This lets you use your Wahl shaver in the shower or at the sink without worry
and makes it easy to clean under running water.
NOTE: The shaver is for wet/dry use. The shaver will not run while the
cord is attached for safety.
