Adjusting the power screw (Not found in all Wahl models)
If your clipper has a power screw, it has been adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory. However, if the voltage in your home is low, you may need to readjust it. To
adjust power, first use the on/off switch to turn appliance on, then use the plastic brush, a screwdriver or a thin coin to turn power screw(E) in a clockwise direction until the arm
strikes the coil, making a noise (Fig. 3b). Then slowly turn power screw out (counterclockwise) just until noise stops. This is the maximum power setting (Fig. 3a).
Cutting length adjustment
Cutting lengths for different models(not found in all models):
· Raise the adjustment lever – minimum cutting length (Fig. 4a).
· Lower the adjustment lever – maximum cutting length (Fig. 4b).
Cutting with attachment combs (depending on model)
The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs. Attachment combs can be used to extend the cutting length range. Depending on the model, different-sized
attachment combs are included in the scope of supply.
Accessories are available from your dealer.
