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.

TRIMMER HEAD

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.
