USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADE
Always apply oil to the blades before and
after use. This will ensure maximum cutting
performance and proper maintenance.
Hold the clipper away from your body in
a downward position, and apply a drop of
BabylissPro lubricating oil on the front and
sides of the cutter blade. Wipe off excess oil
with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not pull, twist, or wrap the supply cord
around the appliance.
HOW TO USE COMB ATTACHMENTS
To use the comb attachments, turn the
clipper to “ ” position. Slide the comb
attachment onto the top of the clipper
blade, and then pull down and over the
back of the blade. To remove, pull up on the
back of the comb attachment and then pull
away from the blade.

mm) to 1/16" (1.5 mm), and the
small, moving blade as centered
and parallel as possible to the fixed
blade’s teeth.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The top edge of the fixed blade must be a
minimum of 1/32" (1 mm) higher than the
top edge of the moving blade, as centered
as possible. This is important so that the
moving blade does not come in contact
with the skin.
Be sure to add a few drops of BabylissPro
lubricating oil to the blades before running.
Don’t forget to tighten the screws after the
blades have been aligned.
BLADE SHARPENING
BabylissPro cutting blades are ground
from the finest quality stainless steel
to extend the cutting performance. As
with any cutting appliance, the cutting
edges become dull from repeated usage.
Increasing blade tension to force the
blade cutting would cause the clipper to
overheat and reduce its motor life. When
the blade is no longer able to cut smoothly,
sharpening is required or replace it with a
new BabylissPro blade set.

Blue/Red LED Charging Indicators
Charging – Blue Flashing Light
(1 flash/4 seconds)
Fully Charged – Blue Light
Error – Red Flashing Light
(more than 4 flashes/second).
1. Before using the clipper for the first
time, charge battery continuously
for 3 hours. Maximum battery
capacity will only be reached after
3 charging and discharging cycles.
2.
Plug the charging stand into any
electrical outlet (at the voltage listed
on the label affixed to the charging
stand). The charging indicator will light
up blue and start flashing to indicate
that the charging has begun. Charging
is complete after 3 hours — the light
will go from flashing blue to a solid
blue to indicate charging is complete.
3. The charging stand may become warm
while charging. This is normal.
4. Preserving the batteries: In order to
maintain the optimum capacity of the
rechargeable batteries, the batteries
should be recharged for 3 hours
approximately every 6 months.
5. If the charging light starts to flash
red rapidly (more than 4 flashes per
second), the appliance is faulty. If this
happens, stop charging by removing
plug from the outlet and contact a
Authorized Service Center.
