SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only
RECHARGING

1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It should be allowed to charge overnight before first use.
2. Remove the trimmer, recharging transformer, and accessories from the packing material.
3. Connect the transformer to the trimmer. BE SURE THE TRIMMER IS IN THE “OFF – 0” POSITION WHEN CHARGING.
4. Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical outlet at the correct voltage.
5. When trimmer 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 continuously charge the battery without overcharging.
6.  Ni-MH battery life may be extended with the following procedure: Once every month, let the trimmer run until the motor stops. Move the switch to the “OFF – 0”  position and recharge fully overnight.
7. You have a rechargeable cord/cordless trimmer. It can be used with the cord, so you can trim even if the charge is low. The trimmer cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often as desired. We recommend that the battery be “worked” or discharged by trimming without the cord and by not recharging after every use.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair:

1. Check outlet current by plugging in another appliance.
2. Make sure the outlet simply is not connected to a light switch which turns the power at the outlet off when lights are turned off.
3. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging transformer, all connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is turned “OFF – 0.”
4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the charger anytime the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
5. If the 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.)

CONTAINS SEALED, RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-METAL HYDRIDE BATTERY. MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF PROPERLY.
The RBRC Battery Recycling Seal on the nickel-metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery contained in this product indicates Wahl is voluntarily participating in an industry program to collect and recycle these batteries at the end of their useful life when taken out of service in the United States or Canada. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to placing used Ni-MH batteries into the trash or the municipal waste stream, which is illegal in some areas. Please call 1-800-8-BATTERY for information on Ni-MH battery recycling in your area. Wahl’s involvement in this program is part of our commitment to preserving our environment and conserving our natural resources.

BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

Under normal use, the rechargeable Ni-MH battery in your trimmer will last from three to five years. At the end of its life, when it will no longer take a full charge, the Ni-MH battery must be removed and recycled or disposed of properly. Do not attempt to replace the battery. All servicing or battery replacement should be performed by an authorized WAHL Service Location. To remove the battery for recycling or disposal, 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 trimmer or any electrical outlet.
2. Remove the side grip plates.
3. Pry the trimmer housing apart.
4. Locate circuit board and battery. Cut negative (−) end of the battery away from circuit board then positive (+) end.
5. Apply tape to both ends of the battery before recycling or properly disposing of it.
6. Discard the entire trimmer.

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 a soft cloth.

NOTICE—DO NOT OVER OIL!
Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if allowed to seep back into the 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.  Never rinse the blades with water, or the blades may rust. 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. For units with a soft-touch grip, use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the trimmer, taking care not to get the blades wet. Store the unit in such a manner so that blades are protected from damage.
When the trimmer is not in use, the trimmer 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.

TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT COMBS

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

COLOR-CODED GUIDE COMBS

Color-coded guide combs make finding and remembering your usual length quick and easy.

1. Choose the length you want from the handy color key on the trimmer
2. Match the color from the key to the comb for a quick and easy selection
3. Check the comb to make sure the length printed on it matches the one you selected from the color key
4. Trim up that beard and look great!!!

10-POSITION GUIDE
(not included in all kits)
A multi-position trimming guide makes achieving a consistent trim easy every time. The guide can be removed (providing an additional cutting position) and reattached without changing the preset cutting length, so once you have found the perfect length, there’s no guesswork in achieving it every trim. The trimming guide is a two-piece assembly,  consisting of a base and a comb. It should not be disassembled. To attach the guide, simply slide it on at a slight angle and press the release tab down to secure in position. To remove the guide, gently push up on the release tab and slide the assembly away from the trimmer. Adjust the trimming length by sliding the thumb lever and dialing the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.

GROWING A BEARD

There are three key factors that will determine which beard style is best for you:

1. The shape and dimensions of your face.
2. The natural growth of your beard.
3. The thickness of your beard.
   If you are unsure about the type of beard that would most suit your face, speak with a professional hairstylist or go to WahlUSA.com.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD WITH GUIDE COMBS

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions.
You may find different procedures work better for you.

1. Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal stray hairs that may be longer than the others.
2. Attach a trimming guide to trim and taper your beard. Always be sure the trimming guide is snapped solidly into the desired position before you start to trim. With the blades pointing toward you, begin with a long trimming length. For best results, start at each sideburn and stroke downward toward your neck. Trim toward your chin in smooth,  overlapping strokes, following the lay of your beard. If you trim against the way your beard naturally lays, the trimmer will cut the hair much shorter and the result may be patchy. Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter lengths until you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to cut closer near the ear and down under the chin,  changing to a longer length toward the front of the face and point of your chin.
3. Remove the trimming guide and cut the outline of your beard. Rotate the trimmer so that the blades are pointing toward you. Starting under your chin and working back toward your jawbone and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your beard underneath the jawbone. Continue the line all the way up to the ears and hairline.
4. Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a downward motion. Start at the line you’ve created and, work from the chin back toward the ears, trim the area right under your beard line.
5. Define the upper part of your beard using the same technique.
6. For a neater finished look, use the shortest trimming length. In an upward option, start trimming under the chin with short, outward, rolling strokes. Continue trimming until the entire jawline is blended.

TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE WITH GUIDE COMBS

1. Comb your mustache.
2. Hold the trimmer in a vertical position with the blades pointing toward you in order to define the line of your mustache.
3. With a fairly long trimming length, begin trimming your mustache, starting at the top and working down to your upper lip. Use progressively shorter lengths to get the look you desire. You may also use the shortest trimming length for finish blending and tapering your mustache.
4. For tapering the mustache, use a medium length. Starting in the middle of your mustache, follow the lip line and taper with short upward strokes of the trimmer, working out toward the corners until a gentle shape is created on the bottom of your mustache.
5. As a finishing step, remove the trimming guide and, using only the bare blades, make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache.
