TECHNICAL DATA

PREPARATION FOR USE

General

• Always inspect the appliance before use to ensure the clipper blades are free from hair, debris etc.
• Use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.

Oiling Instructions

• For optimum cutting performance, it is highly recommended to oil the blades after every use.
• When using the oil for the first time, unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors.
• Remove the blade guard and switch the appliance on.
• Holding the clipper at a 45 degree angle, gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops directly onto the blades.
• Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread along the length of the blades.
• Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth before using on hair.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

Charging the Appliance

• Before using the appliance for the first time, charge the battery continuously for 3 hours. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 completed charging and  discharging cycles.

• Plug the charging adapter into a suitable mains power socket and connect to the unit and switch on. The LED indicator light will flash when correctly connected to the  mains power and will continuously flash until the battery has fully charged. When the battery is fully charged the LED indicator light will stop flashing but remain on.
  NOTE: Always place the clipper in the base with the ‘I/0’ switch in the OFF position.

• When the clipper is running low on charge, the LED indicator light will flash, warning there is approximately 3 minutes of battery use remaining. A 3 hour charge will  provide approximately 2.5 hours use.

• If the charging light starts to flash rapidly (more than 4 flashes per second) then the appliance is faulty. If this happens then please stop charging and remove the adapter  from the mains and contact the Conair Customer Care Line. (See ‘UK After Sales Service’ section for further information).

Preserving the Batteries

• In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 6 months.
• Using the clipper on the mains – ensure that the clipper is switched off. Plug into a suitable mains socket. Wait for approximately a minute, and then switch on.
  IMPORTANT: Do not use the clipper in this mode for more than 20 minutes.

HOW TO USE COMB ATTACHMENTS
To use the comb attachments, turn the clipper to the ‘0’ (OFF) position.
Slide the comb attachment onto the top of the clipper blade, 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.

REMOVAL AND REPLACEMENT OF BLADE

• Step 1. Unplug the unit and adjust the taper (see position in illustration A).
  

• Step 2. Remove the screws and the fixed blade. Save the screws.

• Step 3. Lift off the small moving blade and replace it with the new one on the plastic oscillator (see illustration B).

• Step 4. Replace the fixed blade using the screws and lightly tighten them. Adjust the teeth, as shown in illustration C, to a gap of 1mm to 1.5mm. The small, moving  blade should be as centered and as parallel as possible to the fixed blade’s teeth.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The top edge of the fixed blade must be a minimum of 1mm 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.

BLADE SHARPENING
BaBylissPRO cutting blades are ground from the finest quality graphite and are hardened to extend the cutting performance. As with any cutting appliance, the cutting edges  become dull from repeated use. Increasing blade tension to force the blade cutting would cause the clipper to overheat and reduce its motor life. When the blade is no longer  able to cut smoothly, sharpening is required or replace it with a new BaBylissPRO blade set.
ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER
The taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust the lever 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 lever in the down position. To  increase cutting length, slowly push the lever down. To cut closer, push the lever up. As different cutting edges are used in each setting, using the taper lever lengthens the life  of the clipper blades. Hair buildup can slow down the clipper. Keep the clipper on for removing hair. Then push the taper lever back and forth quickly several times. If you do  this every time, especially after cutting a lot of hair, the clipper blades should remain free of cut hair. Oil the blades after the above procedures.
Cleaning & Maintenance

• To maintain optimum performance, the appliance should be cleaned after each use.
• Blow away any remaining hair on the blades or use the cleaning brush provided.
• Remove the comb guide. The comb guide can be rinsed under running water. Ensure they are dried thoroughly before storage or further use.
• Oil the blades after every use to ensure optimum cutting performance.
  IMPORTANT: Blades must be cleaned and oiled on a regular basis for proper functioning. Failure to regularly clean and oil the blades will void the guarantee.
  DO NOT RINSE BLADE, CLIPPER HANDLE OR ADAPTER
