TROUBLESHOOTING

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

following before returning it for repair:
1.  Check outlet current 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 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.)

an upward motion until desired hair length is achieved. For tight, 

scratch-free trimming, use the #1 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 WITH THE 

TRIMMER & DETAILER HEAD

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 USING 

DETAILER HEAD

Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in 

and out of each nostril, no more than 1/4-inch deep. 

TRIMMING EAR HAIR USING 

DETAILER HEAD

Make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold 

the ear flat with one hand and carefully insert detailer 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.

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. Never rinse the 

blades with water, or the blades may rust. 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. For units with a 

soft-touch grip, use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the 

trimmer, taking care not to get the blades wet. 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.

BATTERY  REMOVAL & DISPOSAL

Under normal use, the rechargeable Ni-MH battery in your trimmer 

will last from three to five years. At the end of its life, when it will 

no longer take a full charge, the Ni-MH battery must be removed 

and recycled or disposed of properly. Do not attempt to replace the 

battery. All servicing or battery replacement should be performed 

by an Authorized WAHL Service Location. To remove the battery 

for recycling or disposal, follow these steps:
1.  Make sure the on/off switch is in the “0” (OFF) position and 

that the cord is NOT plugged into the trimmer or any electrical 

outlet.

2.  Remove any attached trimming heads.
3.  Cut open rubberized grip pad.
4.  Remove all 4 screws from top cover plate.
5.  Pry the trimmer housing apart.
6.  Locate circuit board and battery.
7.  Pry battery off of circuit board.
8.  Apply tape to both ends of the battery before recycling or 

properly disposing of it.

9.  Discard the entire clipper.

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.

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 the trimming guide to trim and taper your beard. Begin 

with the guide set at 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 than the marked length.
Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter settings until 

you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the 

trimming guide attachment to cut closer near the ear and down 

under the chin, changing to a longer setting toward the front 

of the face and point of your chin. When the trimming guide is 

removed, it will remain at its last length setting until you change 

it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is locked solidly into the 

desired position before you start to trim.

3.  To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide. 

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, replace attachment blade to the detail 

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

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

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.

 

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.
Make sure the trimmer unit is turned off before changing 

attachment heads. To remove attachment, simply pull the 

attachment head away from the unit 

body firmly. Choose another head. 

To attach, align attachment head to 

unit body and firmly push into secure 

position.
Should blades become damaged or dull or if you want additional 

attachment heads for your trimmer, you may purchase them from 

Wahl.

The trimmer you purchased may not have all of these heads, but 

they will all work with your trimmer if you wish to purchase them. 

You may order additional heads online at www.WahlUSA.com.

MUSTACHE TRIMMING

1. 

Comb your mustache.

 Looking into a well-lit mirror, comb your 

mustache in the direction that it grows. This will help reveal 

stray hairs and achieve an even, balanced trim.

2. 

Cut the outline of your mustache.

 Holding the trimmer in a 

vertical position, with the nameplate side facing you, define the 

line of your mustache. The extended tips on the blades let you 

achieve a clean, well-defined mustache line.

3. 

Defining.

 As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with the name-

plate facing you. Using only the bare blades, make a definitive 

line at the bottom of your mustache.

4. 

Tapering.

 Hold the trimmer with the nameplate facing away 

from you. Again starting with the middle of your mustache, 

follow the lip line and taper out the mustache until a gentle 

shape is created on the bottom portion of your mustache.

5. 

Defining.

 As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with nameplate 

facing make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache.

DETAILING NECKLINES & SIDEBURNS 

TRIMMER HEAD

Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly 

trim and shape.

TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR USING 

TRIMMER HEAD

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 setting on the guide comb on the trimmer, then use 

progressively shorter settings if a shorter 

length is preferred.

TRIMMING CHEST 

& STOMACH USING 

TRIMMER HEAD

Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in 

TRIMMING EYEBROWS USING 

DETAILER HEAD

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.

FADE CUT USING T-BLADE

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.
