1. Switch off the appliance using the on/off switch (Fig. 3b).
2. Remove any attachment combs.
3. The blade should be removed by applying pressure to the top of the blade and pushing it away from
the clipper in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 7a).
4. To attach the blade to the clipper, hook the small plastic lug at the base of the blade chassis into the
small recess in the housing and press it down until it clicks into position (Fig 7b).
5. Replace a blunt or damaged blade set with an original spare part only. Spares can be ordered
through your dealer or Wahl Customer Services at www.wahlstore.co.uk .
6. Lubricate the new blade set before use.
Note: If the small plastic lug at the base of the blade chassis is broken, this will prevent the blade staying
on the clipper and a replacement will be required.
Maintenance
• Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 6b) after every use and lift the blade set away from the
clipper (Fig. 7a). Use the cleaning brush to remove any cut hairs from the housing opening
and from the blade set (Fig. 8). The cleaning lever on the blade set (Fig. 9a) can also be pressed. This
allows the cut hairs that accumulate between the bottom blade and the top blade to be easily removed
using the cleaning brush.

• Only wipe the clipper with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
Note: For high performance, long lasting cutting performance, it is important to oil the blade set
frequently, at least before and after every use.
If the cutting performance deteriorates after long use despite regular cleaning and oiling, the blade set
should be replaced.
