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
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.
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
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.

For Household Use Only
RECHARGING
1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It
should be allowed to charge completely before its first use.
2. Remove the trimmer, USB cable (and/or) power supply unit
(charger) and accessories from the packing material.
3. Connect the charging device (USB or charger) to the trimmer.
4. Plug in the charging device:
Charger:
to any convenient electrical outlet at the correct
voltage.
USB (9893LP Only):
to certified device such as on a computer,
receptacle, lamp, class 2 power supply or automotive adapter.
Warning:
Never use an unapproved USB source.
5. When trimmer is low in power, it should be connected to the
charging device and plugged into a power source to assure
maximum power is available when it is next used. This
charger is designed to completely charge the battery without
overcharging.
6. Insert only charging device 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.
3. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the charging
device, all connections are secure and the trimmer is turned off.
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.
Soft-Touch Grip
allows you to hold the trimmer
in a comfortable position for precision trimming.
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 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.
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.
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.)

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
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.
FADE CUT
1. Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to
establish the 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 fade 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
guide comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting until you
achieve the desired effect.
5. To create a part, pick a spot off-center. 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.
