SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Clipper Has Been Designed For Household Use Only
OIL
The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every
few haircuts. Place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil
on the teeth of the blades as well as at the back of the
blade . Use only the Wahl Clipper Oil included in the
pack. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with
kerosene or any solvent.
POWER SCREW
Your clipper has a power screw and it has been
adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory.
However, if voltage in your home is low, you may need to
readjust it. To adjust power, turn your clipper
“ON” . Use the
end of the cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn power
screw in a clockwise direction until you hear a noise. Then,
slowly turn power screw in a counterclockwise direction, just
until noise stops. This is the maximum power setting.
CORD
The cord should not be used to pull the clipper. Since freedom of movement needs to be
maintained, care should be used to keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed.
If your clipper 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. Do not change the plug in any way.
TAPER LEVER
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to
gradually change the closeness of your cut. (Up position = closest
cut; Down position = longest cut) Should the blades become
jammed with hair, move the taper lever up and down several times.
This will help free up the blades.

of bottom blade.

If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the blades, turn clipper
