TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT COMB

The attachment is ideal for blending, tapering and defining, as well as for achieving a “close trim” stubble look. To use the attachment, go with the hair direction. To achieve closer looks, go against the hair direction.
To attach guide comb, hold comb with the teeth up. Snap guide comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the trimmer blade.

TRIMMING PRIVATES
Manscaping can be easy and fun, but also a little intimidating.
It is certainly an area where you will want to take some extra time and care to get the results you want with no discomfort. Wahl’s Manscaper™ with it’s wrap-around safety guards will help keep your privates safe during the coming expedition, but you will still
want to observe some caution to avoid any mishaps along the way.
Before you even begin, it’s important to know what you want to have your “NetherScape” look like when you are done. Are you looking for an even trim all over, edging back excess hair that sticks out around your briefs, or planning to use one of the more whimsical stylings that can be found in an internet search? Once you have decided what you want the finished result to look like, follow the steps below to achieve your new look.

HOW TO MANSCAPE

1. Clean is important. Be sure your Manscaper™ is clean and ready to perform the task with plenty of power available to do the job. Also, make sure your hair is clean and dry for best results.
2. Use a comb to gently remove any snarls or tangles from your pubic hair. Go slow at first until you get the hang of combing theNetherScape to avoid painful pulls and jabs. After your hair is clear of obstructing tangles, you are ready to start trimming.
3. Set the wrap-around guard dial to its longest position. You will set it to progressively shorter lengths as you work your hair into the style you want, but it’s best to take off a little at a time.
4. Gently trim in the direction your hair naturally grows, and avoid cuttingagainst the grain as much as possible.
5. Using your free hand, pull your skin taught as you get to shorter lengths to avoid folds of skin entering the trimmer blade. See illustrations for examples of what to do and what not to do.
6. Do the job, but don’t over do it. To avoid irritating sensitive skin, you will want to make as few passes as possible as you get into the shorter lengths. Remember to go gently and take light strokes.
7. TAKE YOUR TIME. A fully charged Manscaper™ will run for up to 100 minutes on a charge, so you have plenty of time to go slow and get the job done right.

PRO TIP: After you perform your trimming, make sure to clean up the mess. Nobody wants to walk into the bathroom and find that all over the floor.

CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER

OILING BLADES

For best results, use Wahl Clipper 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 trimmer, turn the trimmer “ON – I,” hold the unit with the blades facing DOWN and squeeze three drops across the front of the blade and one drop on each side on the heel of the blade.
Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.

NOTICE—DO NOT OVER OIL!
Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if allowed to seep back into motor.

BLADE CARE
Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and lapped cutting teeth. Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to cut dirty or abrasive material. Clean with the included brush.

CLEANING/STORAGE
Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk any loose hairs from the unit and the blades. Store unit in such a manner so that blades are protected from damage.

TROUBLESHOOTING

• If the trimmer unexpectedly stopped operating try resetting the device by plugging the trimmer into the USB cable.
• If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair:

1. Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another appliance.
2. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the power source, all connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is turned “OFF – 0.”
3. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the power source anytime the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
4. If trimmer 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.)

WIRING
WARNING: If the USB cable is damaged it must be replaced in order to avoid hazard. This product must only be used with the USB cable supplied. Should a replacement be required, please contact WAHL customer services on 01227 740066.
