OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

BEFORE YOU CUT HAIR

1. Your clipper should be clean, oiled and in perfect working condition.
2. If your kit includes a plastic cape, place it around the neck, tying the strings and overlapping the cape portion to prevent the hair from falling down inside the collar. If no cape is provided, a towel will do nicely.
3. Position the person whose hair is to be cut on a stool or chair so that the top of the head is about even with your eyes.
4. After combing through the hair to remove all tangles, hold the clipper in a relaxed, comfortable grip, with the nameplate under the palm near your index finger. This grip will help you maintain comfortable, accurate cutting control.

To attach guide combs, hold comb with the teeth up. Snap guide comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the clipper blade (Fig. 3).
Guide combs attach to the clipper, not the detail trimmer.

USING THE DETAIL TRIMMER
Use your detail trimmer to cut closer than the clipper, such as outlining and finishing the haircut. The blades of your detail trimmer are narrower and designed for easier detail work.
The blades extend further from the unit, so you can feel comfortable detailing around the ears, sideburns and neckline.

1. Turn the unit to the OFF position (Fig. 1a).
2. Adjust the taper lever to the close cut position(Fig. 2a).
3. Open your detail trimmer.
   • First unsnap the detail trimmer lid by lifting up at the edges of the lid. Lift the detail trimmer lid around the clipper blade (Fig. 6a).
   • Guide the detail trimmer lid over the clipper blade. In order for the detail trimmer to function properly, the clipper blade must be positioned between the trimmer lid and detail trimmer guide fingers.
   • Press down on the top centre of the detail trimmer lid and snap on the clipper blade (Fig. 6b). Do not push on the detail trimmer blade.
4. Turn the control to the ON position and use for detail trimming. (See cutting hair tips on technique). Pages 7, 8 & 9.
5. After trimming, turn the control to the OFF position. Clean your detail trimmer blade with the cleaning brush.
6. Close your detail trimmer.
   • Unsnap the detail trimmer lid from the clipper lid by lifting the back of the trimmer lid. Lift the detail trimmer lid around the detail clipper blade.
   • Tuck the detail trimmer blade down and snap into place by pressing down on the top centre of the detail trimmer lid.
7. When exposed to excessive force such as dropping, the detail trimmer is designed to pop off rather than break off. To re-attach your detail trimmer, simply  snap the detail trimmer arm back into place.

GENERAL INFORMATION

1. Always start by placing the largest guide comb on the clipper, then use shorter combs if a shorter length is desired.
2. Cut only a small amount until you become accustomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair.
3. Allowing the clipper to cut its way through the hair gives a uniform cut. Do not force the clipper through hair at a faster rate.
4. Your hair grows evenly all over your head. A simple, light trimming at the lower neck and sides between professional haircuts may be all you need to bring back that well-groomed look.
5. Remember this procedure requires practice, and it’s always better to leave too much hair the first few haircuts.

FOR MEDIUM TO LONG CUTS

1. Comb the hair so it falls into its natural direction.
2. Place the largest guide comb into your clipper.
3. Trim the sides from the bottom upwards. Begin by holding the clipper lightly against the hair. The teeth of the guide comb should be pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the clipper up and outward through the hair (similar to a rocking motion).
4. Cut only a small amount at a time.
5. Repeat around sides and back of head.
6. For slightly shorter hair, either change to a shorter guide comb or apply more pressure and less lift away from head with the present attachment.
7. Now cut the hair at the top of the head. Use the 1-inch guide comb for a fairly shortcut. If your kit includes 1-1/4-inch or 1-1/2inch guide comb, you may use this for a slightly longer cut. Place the teeth against the head, and slowly trim from the front to back.
8. Comb the hair to assess if further cutting is necessary.
9. Outline sideburns and necklines by using the detail trimmer.

FOR LONGER HAIR ON TOP

By not using a guide comb, a longer cut can be achieved. Use either a barber comb or a regular comb, lift the hair on top of the head, cutting over the comb. You may also grasp the hair between the fingers and cut to the desired length. Continue this procedure from the front to the back of the head, gradually cutting the hair shorter by reducing the space between the comb or fingers and the head. Comb frequently to remove trimmed hair and check for uneven strands.

FOR SHORTCUTS

1. Repeat point 1 from General Information.
2. Cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair.
3. Cut the hair against the direction in which it grows, from the front to the crown.
4. Use closer cutting guide combs to taper the hair down to the neckline, as desired.
5. Comb hair and check for uneven spots.
6. Outline sideburns and neckline using the detail trimmer.

USING LEFT AND RIGHT EAR COMBS

Left Ear Taper

1. Attach the left ear taper comb to your clipper and stand facing the left ear.
2. Hold the clipper at a slight angle against the head. Position the comb just back of the left ear at the hairline.
3. Move the clipper in a small half circle pattern around the ear toward the front of the head. Several small strokes may work best, depending on the length of the hair. Slowly move the clipper upward and outward. Be mindful of the ear. This procedure will allow you to guide hair into the comb towards the clipper blades.

You may also achieve a tapering of sideburns by including the sideburn area as you begin to move the clipper around the ear.

Right Ear Taper
Attach the right ear taper guide comb to your clipper. Stand facing the right ear and repeat the process described above for the left ear.

OUTLINING

The narrower blades of the detail trimmer make trimming and outlining around the ears, neckline, and sideburns easier.

1. Engage your detail trimmer.
2. Comb hair into desired style.
3. Start between the ear and the sideburns.
4. Hold detail trimmer with corner edge of blade against the hairline.
5. Slowly follow the desired outline of the hair over, around, and behind the ears.
6. To define sideburns and the back of the neck, hold the detail trimmer upside down, against the skin at the desired length and move down.
7. Comb hair and check that sides are even. Check for uneven spots throughout the haircut.

CARE AND CLEANING

TAPER LEVER (Fig. 2)
Your clipper has an adjustable taper lever, it is conveniently located near your thumb (if you are right-handed), and so it can easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually change the closeness of your cut without a guide comb. When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you the closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever downward gradually increases the cutting length. In its lowest position, the taper lever will leave the hair approximately the same length as the 1/8 inch guide comb.

The taper lever will also extend the use of your blades since a different cutting edge is used in each setting. In addition, if extremely heavy haircutting has jammed the blades, it will help you remove hair that has become wedged between the two blades. While the clipper is running, rapidly move the lever from close cut to longer cut a couple of times. Doing this each time you’ve finished using your clipper will help keep the blades clear of cut hair. If your clipper stops cutting and this does not help, your cutting blades must be blunt. Either replace them or return to Wahl for sharpening.

OIL (Fig. 4)
The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts. Simply place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the teeth of the blades. Use only one drop on the detail trimmer blades. Use only Wahl Clipper Oil included in this kit. Due to the high speed of your clipper the correct type of oil must be used. Do not use hair oil, grease, or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil, slowing down the blades. Wahl Clipper Oil is a  very thin, natural oil which will not evaporate and not slow down the blades.

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. When stored, the cord should be coiled and the unit placed in original box or storage case. Do not change the plugin anyway.

POWER SCREW (Fig. 5)
Your clipper has a power screw and it has been adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory. However, if your voltage in your home is low, you may need to adjust it.
To adjust, turn your clipper to ON. Use the end of the cleaning brush, a screwdriver, or coin to turn the power screw in a clockwise direction until you hear a  noise. Then slowly turn the power screw out (counterclockwise), just until noise stops, and then an additional half turn. This is the maximum power setting.

DISPOSAL

CLIPPER MAINTENANCE

Your Wahl clipper blades were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory; however, it is possible for blades to get bumped out of alignment. Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or replacement. To determine if realignment is necessary, compare your clipper blades with diagram G.

1. If your clipper has a taper lever, position the taper lever in the close cut position. (H)
2. End of top blade teeth should be approximately 1/32″ (.64 mm) back from bottom blade. This is important so that the clipper does not cut too close or allow the moving cutter to touch the skin.
3. Extreme left-hand tooth of top blade must be covering or to the left of the first small tooth of bottom blade.
4. Extreme right-hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.

If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the blades, turn clipper “On” for a few moments, turn “Off” and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust (steps 2-4 listed above). Tighten screws after blades are aligned. Other than blades this clipper has no user serviceable parts. (diagram I)

OIL (J)

The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts. Simply place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the teeth of the blades. Use only the Wahl Clipper Oil included in the pack. Due to the high speed of your Wahl clipper, the correct type of oil must be used. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil, slowing down the blades. Wahl Clipper Oil is a very thin, natural oil which will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades.

POWER SCREW

(Not found on all models of Wahl Clippers)
If your clipper has a power screw, 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, use the plastic brush, a screwdriver or a thin coin to turn power screw in a clockwise direction until the arm strikes the coil, making a noise. Then, slowly turn power screw out (counterclockwise), just until noise stops.
This is the maximum power setting. (K)

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. When stored, the cord should be coiled and the unit placed in original box or-storage pouch (if provided).

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. 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.

TAPER LEVER

(Not found on all models of Wahl Clippers)
If your clipper has an adjustable taper lever, it is conveniently located near your thumb (if you’re right-handed), so it can easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually change the closeness of your cut without a guide comb. When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you the closest cut and leave the hair very short. (diagram H1) Pushing the lever downward gradually increases the cutting length. In its lowest position, the taper lever will leave the hair approximately the same length as the 1/8″ guide comb. (diagram H2)
The taper lever will also extend the use of your blades since a different cutting edge is used in each setting. In addition, if extremely heavy haircutting has jammed the blades, it will help you remove hair that has become wedged between the two blades without removing the blades. While the clipper is running, rapidly move the lever from “close cut” to “longer cut” a couple of times. Doing this each time you’ve finished using your clipper will help keep the blades clear of cut hair. If your clipper stops cutting and this does not help, your cutting blades may be dull. Either replace them or return them to Wahl for sharpening.

WAHL’S GUIDE TO FOOLPROOF HOME HAIRCUTTING

Before you cut your hair

1. Your clipper should be clean, oiled and in perfect working condition.
2. If your kit includes a plastic cape, place it around the neck, tying the strings and overlapping the cape portion to prevent hair from falling down inside the collar. If no cape is provided, a towel will do nicely.
3. Position the person whose hair is to be cut on a stool or chair so that the top of his head is about even with your eyes.
4. After combing the hair to remove all tangles, hold the clipper in a relaxed, comfortable grip, with the nameplate under the palm near your index finger. This grip will help you maintain comfortable, accurate cutting control.

NOTE: To attach guide combs, hold comb with the teeth up. Snap guide comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the clipper blade. (L)

Depending on the kit you purchased your kit may include one of the following:

Adjustable Guide Combs – allowing multiple cutting lengths in the convenience of a single comb.

• 16mm – Black/Yellow
• 19mm – Black/Lavender
• 22mm – Black/Green
• 25mm – Black/Light Blue
• 31mm – Black/White
• 38mm – Black only
• Right Ear Taper – Black only
• Left Ear Taper – Black only

CUTTING HAIR

FOR MEDIUM TO LONG CUTS: (P)

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 clipper, then use shorter combs (or settings – if using adjustable guide 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 clipper 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 clipper and start by trimming the sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the clipper lightly against the hair, with teeth of the guide comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the clipper 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 setting – if using adjustable guide combs) 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″ guide comb (If your kit includes the 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” guide comb, you may use this for a slightly longer cut.) 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.

FOR LONGER HAIR ON TOP:

By not using a guide comb, a longer cut can be achieved. Use either a barber comb or a regular comb and lift the hair on top of the head, cutting over the comb, or grasp the hair between the fingers and cut to desired length. Continue this procedure from the front to the back of the head, gradually cutting the hair shorter by reducing the space between the comb or fingers and the head. Comb frequently to remove trimmed hair and check for uneven strands.

TAPERING AROUND EARS:

USING LEFT AND RIGHT EAR GUIDE COMBS
The Left and Right Ear Guide Combs have a built in taper ranging from 1/8” to 1/2”. By following the outline of the ear with the appropriate comb you achieve a gradual taper and blending without having to use multiple combs.

TO TAPER THE AREA BORDERING THE LEFT EAR:
Attach the Left Ear Taper Comb to your clipper and stand facing the left ear. While holding the clipper at a slight angle against the head, position the guide comb just back of the left ear at the hairline. Then move the clipper in a small half circle pattern around the left ear toward the front of the head. Depending on the length of hair you are working with you may need to take several small strokes as you proceed around the ear. When doing so, slowly move the clipper upward and outward being mindful of the ear. This will allow you to guide hair into the comb towards the clip- per blades.

Note: You may also achieve a tapering of sideburns by including the sideburn area as you begin to move the clipper around the ear.

TO TAPER THE AREA BORDERING THE RIGHT EAR:
Attach the Right Ear Guide Comb to your clipper. Stand facing the right ear and repeat the process described above for the left ear.
Finish by outlining the area around the ear as described in the following section.

OUTLINING: (Q)

No attachments are needed. (On a multi-cut clipper, push the taper lever up to the “close-cut” position.) Comb hair into desired style. Starting between the ear and the sideburns, as shown at left, hold clipper with corner edge of blade against the hairline. Slowly follow the desired outline of the hair over, around and behind the ears. For defining side-burns and the back of the neck, hold the clipper upside down, against the skin at the desired length and move down. Comb hair and check that sides are even. Check for uneven spots throughout the haircut.

CREW CUTS AND SHORT CUTS (R)

Starting with the longest guide comb, cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide 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. Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows, from the front to the crown, and even up the cut with the sides.
To give a “flattop” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat comb, rather than using the guide comb.
Use closer-cutting guide combs to “taper” the hair down to the neckline, as desired. Comb hair and check for uneven spots. Outline sideburns and neckline as previously described.
If a short, tapered cut on the sides and back is desired, follow diagram S.

Yes, it does.

Does the Wahl Clipper have a warranty?

Yes, it is covered by a 2 year warranty.

What is the voltage of the Wahl Clipper?

The voltage of the Wahl Clipper is 110V-120V.

Can I use the Wahl Clipper on 220V?

No, you cannot use it on 220V.

Is there any additional accessories for the Wahl Clipper?

Yes, there are additional accessories for the Wahl Clipper such as combs and guards.

How do you charge Wahl clippers?

How long does it take Wahl clippers to charge?

The clipper will take approximately 3 to 5 hours to charge. The power indicator light will not turn off or change color after clipper is charged. After 3 to 5 hours, unplug charger from plug and clipper. The charger is designed to charge the clipper battery without overcharging.

How do I know if my clipper is fully charged?

The charging indicator on your device will start flashing to indicate that the groomer is charging. Once the groomer is fully charged, the charging indicator lights up continuously for approximately 30 minutes and then automatically turns off to save energy.

Can clipper blades be replaced?

You can’t stop that. Luckily, there are lots of affordable clipper and trimmer replacement blades.

Why do hair clipper stop cutting?

If you can stop the cutting blade with very little pressure, then your power is too weak, and you will need to clean out your tool and/or adjust the power (upcoming article). If all the teeth are present and your power is good, then you will need to clean your blades.

Should I wet my hair before using clippers?

Hair that is unwashed can cause electric hair clippers to become clogged with grease and hairstyling products left in the hair. Don’t leave hair wet to cut it either – towel dry hair and then comb out if needed, to remove any tangles (if hair is longer or thicker).

What is the difference between Clipper and trimmer?

A clipper is intended for bulk hair cutting on larger areas, but does not cut extremely close to the skin. On the other hand, a trimmer is designed for edging, outlining, dry shaving and light shaping on smaller areas such as the back of the neck, around the ears, around sideburns etc.

CARE AND CLEANING

OILING BLADES

For best results, put one or two drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the blades before and after every use. 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 one or two drops of oil onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.

NOTE: 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.

CLEANING/STORAGE

Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk any loose hairs from the unit and the blades. Always store the 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. (if included in your kit). Water getting into the charging socket may cause corrosion. When your trimmer is not in use, please store in the storage pouch or return to the stand provided. Avoid standing/laying/storing your trimmer in a damp area without the stand.

TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BOTH MODELS

If your trimmer does not seem to be charging, check the following before returning it for repair:

1. Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another appliance.
2. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging transformer, all the connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is turned OFF.
3. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the charger anytime the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
4. If the trimmer does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit ON and pinch or push the blades manually. Oil may have dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together.

TIPS FOR SUCCESSFUL STYLING

The first time you cut 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 clipper, then use shorter combs (or settings ­ if using adjustable guide combs) if a shorter length is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all over the head and a light trimming at 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 in 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 setting ­ if using adjustable combs) 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 to much hair the first few haircuts.

For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use the No.1 guide comb (if your kit includes the 1-1/4″ or 1-1/2″ guide comb, you may use this for a slightly longer cut.) With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start trimming from front to back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the first few haircuts.

FADE CUT using a T-Blade

1. Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish 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 base 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 individual comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting until you achieve the desired effect.
5. 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 trimmer back and forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut is precise.

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, moustaches, neckline, sideburns around the ears and eyebrows, or anywhere you may need grooming. It also makes a great allaround family trimmer for mini haircuts and touch ups between trips to the barber or to clean up the shape of the neck.

A 6-Position Trimming Guide makes achieving a consistent trim easy every time.

The guide can be removed (providing a seventh cutting position) and reattached without changing the pre-set 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 and press the release tab down to secure in position.

To remove the guide, gently push up on the release tab and slide the assembly away from the trimmer. Adjust the trimming length by pressing on the thumb lever and moving the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.

DETACHABLE BLADE SYSTEM

A Detachable blade system enables you to quickly change from a standardwidth blade for full grooming to a narrow-width blade for detail trimming around a moustache, 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.

Should blades become damaged or dull or if you want replacement attachment heads for your trimmer, you can purchase these from Wahl (UK) Ltd.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR FACIAL HAIR

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 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your beard. Begin with the guide set at a long trimming length. 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.

3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide. 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. 6. For a neater finished look, replace attachment blade with the detail blade. Use this blade for fine, detail trimming anywhere it is needed, such as at the sideburns near the ears, goatees, etc.

TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT COMBS

Your Trimmer includes three trimming attachments; stubble, medium and long. The stubble guide has 1 bar, the medium-cut attachment has two bars and the long-cut attachment has three bars. 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.

TRIMMING NOSE HAIR USING DETAILER HEAD

Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in and out of each nostril, no more than 1/4-inch deep.

TRIMMING EAR HAIR

Make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold the ear flat with one hand and carefully insert detailer no more than 1/4-inch into the outer ear.

WARNING: DO NOT INSERT THE DETAILER OR ANY OTHER FOREIGN OBJECT INTO THE INNER EAR. FOR HAIR GROWING ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE EAR, SIMPLY MOVE THE DETAILER SLOWLY ALONG THE EDGES OF THE EAR.

TRIMMING EYEBROWS

Slowly move detailer to neatly trim stray hairs. For precise, even trimming, slowly move the detailer closer or farther away from eyebrows to achieve desired length. Do not press against brow as it may remove too much hair.

TRIMMING EYEBROWS WITH COMB

Snap on the No. 1 Comb on your trimmer head. Slowly move the trimmer to neatly trim stray hairs. Do not press hard against brow as it may remove too much hair. You may also use your trimmer blade with the #2 or #3 guide comb. Move the trimmer with the direction of the hair flow (from the bridge of your nose to the temple). Be sure to mind your eyelashes as you trim.

DETAILING NECKLINES, SIDEBURNS, MOUSTACHES & BEARDS using trimmer head.

Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and shape.

TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR using trimmer head.

Simply glide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair length is achieved. The first time you trim the hair, start by using a longer setting on the guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter settings if a shorter length is preferred.

TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH using trimmer head.
Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until desired hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch-free trimming, use the #1 guide comb.
FOR THE CLOSEST LOOK

After trimming, attach the shaver head. The shaver makes for the perfect tool to groom the total body. Using the same technique, as mentioned prior, you can groom wherever you feel a need. Shave against hair growth while stretching the skin. After every use, remove the shaver foil by pressing both side buttons and carefully clean using cleaning brush provided.

TRIMMING PRIVATE AREAS with the trimmer & detailer head.

1. Volume reduction using trimmer head. Attach guide comb and select a long trimming length. Begin trimming, starting at the top and working down. Use progressively closer settings to get the “look” and length you prefer.
2. For hard to reach or tight areas, use the detailer head. Always pull skin taut. Then slowly move the detailer through area to trim until desired look is accomplished.
3. Shave in your private areas by gently shaving in the desired area and always keep the skin taut.
