SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

For Household Use Only

RECHARGING

1.  This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It 

should be allowed to charge 1 hour before first use.

2.  Remove the trimmer, recharging transformer and accessories 

from the packing material.

3.  Connect the transformer to the trimmer. BE SURE TRIMMER IS 

IN THE “OFF - 0” POSITION WHEN CHARGING. 

4.  Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical 

outlet at the correct voltage.

5.  When trimmer is low in power, it should be connected to the 

transformer and plugged into an outlet to assure maximum 

power is available when it is next used. This transformer  

is designed to completely charge the battery without 

overcharging.  Do not use the trimmer while it is charging.

6.  The battery will take approximately 60 minutes to charge. The 

lithium ion trimmer also has quick charge capability. Quick 

charge means for every minute you charge the trimmer, you can 

get approximately 3 minutes of usage. For example, if you are in 

a hurry, charging for 3 minutes will give you almost 9 minutes 

of run time.

7.  Insert only recharging transformer plug supplied by the 

manufacturer  into charger receptacle.

TROUBLESHOOTING

If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following 

before returning it for repair:
1.  Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another 

appliance.

2.  Make sure the outlet simply is not connected to a light switch 

which turns the power at the outlet off when lights are turned 

off.

CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER

OILING BLADES

For best results, use Wahl Clipper Oil on the blades only when 

necessary, or approximately once a month. 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 three drops across the 

front of the blade and one drop on each side on the heel of the 

blade. Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.

NOTICE—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. Clean with the included 

brush.

CLEANING/STORAGE

Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk 

any loose hairs from the unit and the blades. Store unit in such a 

manner so that blades are protected from damage.
When the trimmer is not in use, the trimmer blade guard 

attachment should be in place to protect the blades.
This appliance should be stored in a manner where it is not 

subjected to crushing, heating above 100°C (212°F), or 

incineration.

3.  Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging 

transformer, all connections are secure and the switch on the 

trimmer is turned “OFF - 0.”

4.  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.

5.  If trimmer does not run and it is completely charged, turn the 

unit “ON - I” and pinch or push the blades manually. (Oil may 

have dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily 

stuck together.)

Recortadora con Láminas Desmontable

Models 9854L, 9860L, 9876L, 9888L

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 WITH 

ATTACHMENT COMBS

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.
To attach guide combs, hold comb with the teeth up. Snap guide 

comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the trimmer blade.

longer guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter 

settings if a shorter length is preferred.

TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH

Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until 

desired hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch-free trimming, use 

the #1/4 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 using cleaning brush provided.

TRIMMING PRIVATE AREAS

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.

TRIMMING NOSE HAIR

Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the ear/nose 

trimmer 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 ear/nose trimmer no 

more than 1/4-inch into the outer ear.  

CAUTION:

 Do not insert the detailer or any other foreign 

the hair much shorter.
Change the trimming guides to 

progressively shorter lengths until you 

reach the desired length of beard. You 

may wish to trim closer near the ear 

and down under the chin, changing to 

a longer guide toward the front of the 

face and point of your chin.

3.  To cut the outline of your beard, 

remove the trimming guide comb. 

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, attach the 

detail blade. Use this blade for fine, detail trimming anywhere it 

is needed, such as at the sideburns near the ears, goatees, etc.

DETAILING NECKLINES, 

SIDEBURNS,MUSTACHES & BEARDS

Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly 

trim and shape.

TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR

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 

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.

 

A Detachable Blade System

 enables 

you to quickly change from a standard-

width blade for full grooming to a narrow-

width blade for detail trimming around a 

mustache, 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 and push down on top of blade.
Should blades become damaged or dull or if you want additional 

attachment heads for your trimmer, you may purchase them 

from Wahl. 

See the ACCESSORY SHEET in this kit for ordering 

information

.

 

Self-Sharpening Blades

 are made to maintain their shape and 

sharpness for extended periods.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR 

BEARD

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 a guide to trim and taper your beard. Begin with a guide 

of 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 

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, mustaches, neckline, 

sideburns around the ears and 

eyebrows, or anywhere you may 

need grooming. It also makes a 

great all-around family trimmer for light haircuts and touch ups 

between trips to the barber or to clean up the shape of the neck.

 

Rubber Grip (9854L, 9860L, 9888L)

 allows you to hold the 

trimmer in a comfortable position for precision trimming.

 

An Ergonomic Shape and Gripping Horizontal Bars (9876L)

 

for added comfort, designed so you always hold the trimmer in 

a comfortable position for precision trimming. The shape also 

provides optimum trimming visibility.

 

A Rotating Head (9876L).

 The trimming 

head rotates 360 degrees, providing two 

trimming positions. This allows you to achieve 

the optimum ergonomic relationship between 

the hand, the trimmer and the face. Rotate 

the head to the desired position as follows. With the switch in the 

“OFF - 0”  position, depress the lock button and rotate the head 

clockwise or counterclockwise 360  degrees.

 

A Multi-Position Trimming Guide

 (not included in all kits) 

makes achieving a consistent trim easy every time. The guide can 

be removed and reattached without changing the preset 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
