Instructions for Use

Blade Alignment

• Your clippers were carefully examined to ensure that the blades

were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory.

• Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning

or replacement.

• To realign the blades, simply match the upper and bottom blades

teeth up, point for point. (End of top blade teeth should be
approximately .05” or 1.2mm back from bottom blade. Compare
your clipper blades with the sketch.)

• If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of oil to the blades,

turn clipper on for a few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen
screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws after blade is aligned.

Oil

• To maintain your clipper in peak condition, the blades should

be oiled before every haircut.

• Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with kerosene or any 

solvent. The solvent will evaporate and leave a thick oil which may
slow down the blades motion. 

Power Screw

• The power screw permits you to adjust the power. It has been

adjusted before leaving the factory. However, if the voltage in your
home is low, you may need to re-adjust it. 

• To adjust, use a screwdriver or a thin coin to turn power screw in

clockwise direction until the arm strikes the coil, making a noise.
Then slowly turn power screw out (counter-clockwise) just until
noise stops. This is maximum power setting.
