CLIPPER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADES

Always apply oil to the blades before and after use. This will ensure maximum cutting performance and proper maintenance. Hold the clipper away from your body in a downward position, and apply a drop of BaBylissPRO lubricating oil on the front and sides of the cutter blade. Wipe off excess oil with a soft, dry cloth.

HOW TO USE COMB ATTACHMENTS

To use the comb attachments, turn the clipper to “” position. Slide the comb attachment onto the top of the clipper blades and then pull down and over the back of the blade. To remove, pull up on the back of the comb attachment and then pull away from the blade.

REPLACING (REMOVING) BLADE SET

• Step 1. Unplug the unit and adjust the taper as shown on illustration A.
• Step 2. Remove the screws and fixed blade. Save the screws.
• Step 3. Lift off the small moving blade and place new blade on the plastic oscillator (see illustration B).
• Step 4. Replace the fixed blade using the screws and lightly tighten them. Adjust the teeth to a gap of 1/32″ (1 mm) to 1/16″ (1.5 mm) with the small moving blade as centered and as parallel as possible to the fixed blade’s teeth (see illustration C).

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The top edge of the fixed blade must be a minimum of 1/32″ (1 mm) higher than the top edge of the moving blade and as centered as possible. This is important so that the moving blade does not come in contact with the skin.
Be sure to add a few drops of BaBylissPRO lubricating oil to the blades before running. Don’t forget to tighten the screws after the blades have been aligned.

ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER

The taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust thelever at the same time – while you are clipping. The taper lever adjusts the closeness of the cut from a close cut with the taper lever in the up
position to a longer length cut with the taper leverin the down position. To increase cutting length, slowly push the lever down. To cut closer, push the lever up. As different cutting edgesare used in each setting, using the taper lever lengthens the life of the clipper blades. Too much hair can slow down the hair clipper. Keep the clipper on to remove hair. Then push the taper lever back and forth quickly several times. If you do this every time, especially after frequent hair cutting, the clipper blades should remain free of cut hair.Oil the blades after the above procedures.

HAIR POCKET DOOR

The top housing of the FX890 clipper has a 0removable, magnetic door integrated into the top housing, allowing for easy access to and cleaning of critical moving parts. To remove the magnetic door, place fingers on the side tabs and pull straight away from the unit. To clean internal moving parts, use compressed air or the included small cleaning brush to clear out hair from the housing after the magnetic door has been removed. Once finished with cleaning the moving parts of the clipper unit, carefully place the magnetic door back in its proper position. The magnets should pull the door back into place.

BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION

The FX890 clipper features removable and rechargeable batteries, so you can cut and style for extended amounts of time with minimal interruption. Make sure the clipper switch is in the OFF position before removing or installing battery.

To remove the battery, press on the two tabs toward the bottom of the unit and pull the battery out of the bottom of the unit. Then place into charging stand. To install a new battery, line up the tabs of the charged battery with the slots on the sides of the unit and slide up into the housing, pressing firmly until battery clicks into place.

BATTERY (MODEL FXBPC) INDICATORS

• Critically Low Battery – Red Flashing Light
• Low Battery – Blue Flashing Light
• Unit On and Battery Fully Charged – Blue Light
• Error – Red Flashing Light (more than 4 flashes/second)
