MAINS CLIPPER If your clipper has a power screw, it has been adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory. However, if the voltage in your home is low, you may need to readjust it. To adjust power, first use the on/off switch to turn appliance on, then use the plastic brush, a screwdriver or a thin coin to turn power screw(E) in a clockwise direction until the arm strikes the coil, making a noise (Fig. 3b). Then slowly turn power screw out (counter clockwise) just until noise stops.
MAINS CLIPPER 1. Switch the appliance off using the on/off switch (Fig. 2b) and disconnect from the power supply. 2. Undo the screws on the blade set; remove the bottom blade and the top blade (Fig. 7).

MAINS CLIPPER 3.Repeat around sides and back of head. If you desire shorter hair, either change to a lower number attachment comb, or apply more pressure and less lift away from head with the present attachment comb. This entire procedure requires practice, 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 #8 (2.5cm length) attachment comb.
MAINS CLIPPER SHORT TAPERED STYLES If a short tapered cut on the sides and back is desired, please follow the following diagram: Starting with the desired attachment comb, cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the attachment comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair as shown. Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head, as shown.
MAINS CLIPPER #4 #3 #2 #1 BALD FADE (Only applies to Baldfader clipper) Your Wahl Baldfader clipper is designed to allow you to create and maintain extremely close hair styles, such as the ‘Bald Fade’. Its fine tooth, steel blades and powerful cool running motor give a close, smooth cut every time. 1.This style leaves the head virtually bald at the bottom, fading to slightly longer hair on top.
MAINS CLIPPER 6.To create a part, pick a spot off centre. Pull the scalp tight and with the end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the clipper back and forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut is precise. BALD CUT For a totally bald look, follow the directions for beginning the bald fade cut. Continue to cut progressively shorter, against the grain, all over the head. DISPOSAL Handle with care! Environmental damage in the case of incorrect disposal.
