FADE CUT
1. Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to
establish the ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut
against the grain for the shortest cut. Don’t force the blade
through the hair. Let the trimmer do the work.
2. Next, cut around the head again and up the nape of the neck
to the fade line, brushing away the cut hair as you go. Pull the
scalp taut with the thumb for the closest cut. Turn the trimmer
upside down when necessary to keep cutting against the grain.
Make sure both sides of the head are even.
3. For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual
guide comb attachments. The smaller the number of the comb,
the shorter the cut. Comb or brush the hair as you cut for an
even end result.
4. To complete the fade, blend the hair at the fade line by trimming
up and out across the line and against the grain all the way
around the head. Then, repeat all around, turning the trimmer
upside down and cutting downward. The final objective is to
blend the hair so there is no real line, just a perfect fade from
bald to very short hair. You can achieve this by using the #1
guide comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting until you
achieve the desired effect.
5. To create a part, pick a spot off-center. Pull the scalp tight and
with the end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the
trimmer back and forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut
again to make sure the cut is precise.
TRIMMING AND
EDGING YOUR BEARD
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 the longest trimming guard to
trim and taper your beard. 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.
Use to progressively shorter trimming guides until you reach
the desired length of beard. You may wish to use the shortest
trimming guard attachment to cut closer near the ear and down
under the chin, changing to a longer trimming guide toward
the front of the face and point of your chin. Always be sure the
trimming guard is locked solidly into the desired position before
you start to trim.
3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guard.
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, working 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.
NOW YOU CAN KEEP ON SHAVING
WHILE CLEANING UP INGROWN
WHISKERS
Men with very curly facial hair have a special problem with shaving.
Specifically, ingrown whiskers. Their whiskers curl back toward the
skin — and grow in many different directions.
Electric razors can’t pick them up through their slotted or mesh
heads. And safety razors slice them off at a sharp angle. Either
way, the stubble is left in an ideal condition to cause ingrown hair
problems. Continued shaving over the bumps and irritated skin, of
course, makes the condition worse.
But you don’t have to stop shaving altogether. With this Wahl
trimmer and its specially designed T-blade, you can maintain a neat,
shaved appearance while getting help with ingrown whiskers. Its
open-tooth comb action picks up and straightens curly whiskers for
cutting — while its high-speed blades move across at a flat angle
to the whiskers, clipping them off evenly.
CUTTING HAIR
The first time you cut the hair, cut only a small amount until you
become accustomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair.
Always start by placing the largest guide comb on the trimmer, then
use shorter combs if a shorter length is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all
over the head and a light trimming at the lower neck and sides may
be all that is needed to bring back that neat, well-groomed look.
For uniform cutting, allow the trimmer to cut its way through the
hair. Do not force it through at a faster rate.
1. Start by combing the hair so it falls into its natural direction.
2. Place the largest guide comb onto your trimmer and start by
trimming the sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the trimmer
lightly against the hair, with teeth of the guide comb pointing up
but flat against the head. Slowly lift the trimmer up and outward
through the hair, cutting only a small amount at a time.
Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you desire shorter hair, either change to a shorter
guide comb or apply more pressure and less lift away
from head with the present attachment.
This entire procedure requires practice, and it is
always better to leave too much hair the first few
haircuts.
For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use
the 1” blade guard. With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start
trimming from the front to the back. Again, it is better to leave the
hair longer the first few haircuts.

LINING UP
The term “lining up” can be used in many terms in the barbershop
meaning shape up, edge up, or line up. It is when the hairline is
cleaned free of any hair on the natural hairline on the forehead,
sideburns, or neck line to give a visual of a tight, defined crisp line.
It is usually done with a trimmer or straight razor. The hair outline
defines the haircut. Below you will find Wahl Master Barber, Ben
Phillips’s step-by-step instructions on how to create a crisp, tight
lineup for all hair textures.
*This is a technique for consumers who are lining and detailing
their own facial hair.
1. Cut hair to desired length. Brush
hairline forward using a soft bristle
brush to remove all loose hairs.
2. Make sure trimmer blade is angled
correctly at a 90º angle. The
bottom blade should be facing you,
perpendicular on an horizontal plain.
Touch or tap the edge of the hairline
with the trimmer blade teeth to the
forehead hairline edge to start a guide.
The bottom blade must be facing you.
Tap the hair line from left to right. The
side burns can be blocked to your
desired length.
3. The facial hairline up depends on
the style you are trying to achieve.
The trimmer may be held in multiple
angles when trimming the face, but
the blades must always be facing you.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Your trimmer has been designed with several advanced
features to help you get perfect results every time you
trim. Your trimmer may be used to neatly trim goatees,
beards, mustaches, neckline, sideburns around the ears
and eyebrows, or anywhere you may need grooming.
It also makes a great all-around family trimmer for light
haircuts and touch ups between trips to the barber or to
clean up the shape of the neck.
 A Detachable Blade System enables you to quickly
change from a standard-width blade for full grooming
to a narrow-width blade for detail trimming around a
mustache, goatee, or anywhere to define the hair line and
clip any stray whiskers.
To remove attachment, simply pull top edge of blade away from
body unit. To attach, align back tab
of attachment head to cavity on
the inner edge of trimmer unit and
push down on top of blade.
Should blades become damaged or dull or if you want additional
attachment heads for your trimmer, you may purchase them
from Wahl. See the ACCESSORY SHEET in this kit for ordering
information.
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 comb with the teeth up. Snap guide
comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the trimmer blade.
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.
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.
SHARPENING
Trimmer blades have precision-ground cutting teeth. Blades should
be handled carefully and never bumped. To keep blades sharp, cut
only clean hair and avoid cutting into dirt or abrasive particles.
Blades should be sharpened or changed in sets only. To remove
blades for sharpening or replacement, loosen and remove two
screws on bottom blade. Replace same and tighten. To have blades

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
CORD
The cord should not be used to pull the trimmer. Since freedom of
movement needs to be maintained, care should be used to-keep the
cord untwisted and unobstructed. When stored, the cord should
be coiled and the unit placed in original box or storage pouch (if
provided).
If your trimmer has a polarized plug: To reduce the risk of electric
shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than
the other). This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. In the
event the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. In the
event it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the
proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.
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.
You may want to go over the same area several times. Just be
sure you always shave in the same direction each time.
6. Continue this program as long as ingrown hairs and bumps are
a problem. Later, you may wish to switch back to a razor-close
shaving method. But return to use of the Wahl trimmer at the
first sign of the problem coming back. And never stop brushing.
MUSTACHE TRIMMING
1. Comb your mustache. Looking into a well-lit mirror, comb your
mustache in the direction that it grows. This will help reveal
stray hairs and achieve an even, balanced trim.
2. Cut the outline of your mustache. Holding the trimmer in a
vertical position, with the nameplate side facing you, define the
line of your mustache. The extended tips on the blades let you
achieve a clean, well-defined mustache line.
3. Defining. As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with the name-
plate facing you. Using only the bare blades, make a definitive
line at the bottom of your mustache.
4. Tapering. Hold the trimmer with the nameplate facing away
from you. Again starting with the middle of your mustache,
follow the lip line and taper out the mustache until a gentle
shape is created on the bottom portion of your mustache.
5. Defining. As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with nameplate
facing make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache.
SHAVING
Wash Up
1. Make sure your hands and fingernails are scrubbed as clean as
possible before touching your face. Irritated skin is very easily
infected by germs.
2. Wash and dry your face thoroughly to unclog pores and whisker
follicles. Use a rough towel to help remove dead skin and
invigorate the skin. Also, consider using an antiseptic lotion.
Brush Up - Use of Beard Brush
3. Brush your beard thoroughly every day with a good scrubbing
action. This is important because it frees ingrown whiskers and
moves the rest around so they don’t take hold and start growing
in. Use the special beard brush provided or any other small,
stiff-bristle brush that can be sanitized (a toothbrush is fine).
Keep the brush clean.
4. Brush your face as often as possible to start training your beard
to grow in one direction. This goes a long way to ensuring a
clean, close shave without skin irritation (you may even want
to stop shaving altogether long enough to establish a brushing
pattern). Most people can expect good results following these
brushing strokes:
• Brush down from each ear, across the cheek and along the
jawbone toward the chin.
• Brush away from the point of the chin on each side, back
along the lines just under the jawbone.
• Brush up from the lower hairline, all around the neck, up to
the lines of the previous stroke.
• Brush from the lower lip down over the chin.
• Brush down from the nose to the upper lip.
5. Shave with Wahl trimmer following the SAME STROKES and
going in the SAME DIRECTION you brushed. Stretch a section
of skin with the fingers of one hand, while holding the shaver
blade head flat against the face with the other hand. Push it
forward with slight pressure in a stroking action across the skin.
