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.
Should blades become damaged or dull, you may purchase a new blade assembly from Wahl. Be sure to
ask for the Groomsman blade assembly.
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 guide/blade guard attachment should be in place to protect
the blades.
6-POSITION GUIDE COMB
The 6-Position guide comb makes achieving a consistent trim easy every time. The guide can be removed
(providing a seventh 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 (g 2) and press the release tab down to secure in position (g 3) To
remove the guide, gently push up on the release tab and slide the assembly away from the trimmer (g 4)
Adjust the trimming length by pressing on the thumb lever and moving the comb forward or backward to
the desired setting.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. You may
nd 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 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your beard. With the
blades pointing toward you, begin with the trimming guide attachment set at
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 settings until you reach
the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the trimming guide
attachment to cut closer near the ear and down under the chin, changing
to a longer setting toward the front of the face and point of your chin. When
the trimming guide is removed, it will remain at its last length setting until you
change it. Always be sure the trimming guide is snapped solidly into the
desired position before you start to trim.
