CLIPPER USE AND MAINTENANCE

1.  Once the unit is initially charged, for 16 hours, it will take 12 -15 hours to charge completely discharged 

batteries.

2.  A fully charged appliance will deliver a minimum of 45 minutes of continuous trimming.
3.  To ensure maximum battery performance the appliance should be connected to the transformer and fully 

recharged after use, once charged remove the appliance from the transformer and store in a cool dry place.
The transformer is designed to continuously charge the battery without overcharging.

4.  It is normal for the unit to become somewhat warm during normal use.
5.  Avoid pushing the blades into the skin, taking extra care around sensitive areas or areas where folds of skin 

are present. The large flat surface of the blade should be parallel to the skin surface. Do not allow the sharp 
blade tips to go into the skin as this will cause injury.

6.  After cutting hair, clean the blades and oil before storing the unit away. Place a small drop of Wahl Clipper Oil 

only on the ends of the blades while the clipper is running.

7.  To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry or dampened cloth. DO NOT USE benzene or thinner to clean the 

unit.

8.  Do not store the appliance in a wet or moist environment.
9.  To prolong blade life, do not use the appliance on dirty or wet coats.
10.  Do not touch any of the internal mechanisms. If the unit should need repair, do not repair it yourself. Return it 

to Wahl UK Ltd.

11.  Keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed. When stored, the cord should be coiled and the unit placed in a 

dry place, away from children.

12.  Use only the power source specified on the charger transformer.
13.  Be careful not to drop the appliance or to damage or break any teeth on the blades.
14.  Always replace the blade guard when the clipper is not in use.
15.  Feed the appliance through the hair only as it will cut. Feeding too fast, wedges the hair clippings between the 

blades, keeping them from cutting properly. DO NOT CUT WET HAIR.

CLIPPING & TRIMMING DOGS

The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount until you have become accustomed to how long each guide 
comb leaves the hair. Ensure that you regularly remove trimmed hair from the blades and oil the blades during 
clipping.

CLIPPING GUIDE GENERAL - FEET

Have your dog sit facing you. Bring rear leg forward (fig.2) and clip sides of foot from nail to ends of toes. Clip 
on top of toes, stopping at ankle joint. Don’t trim ankle. Spread toes apart with thumb and finger (fig.3). Cut hair 
between toes, being careful not to nick the webbing. 
Spread bottom pads with thumb and clip between toes and pads, being careful not to nick foot webbing (fig.4).
Touch up stray hair with scissors.

FACE AND THROAT

Be very careful around this area, clipping too close may cause razor burns. In most cases you should use the 
clippers in the same direction as the lie of the coat. However if you wish to obtain a closer cut, then the clippers 
may be used against the lie of the coat.
The clipper must not be used above or around the eyes. When clipping ears lift them to ensure no creases or 
folds of skin are on the area to be clipped (fig.6). Hold muzzle with your free hand. Cut from ear to the outside 
corner of the eye in a straight line. Stretch the skin at the outside corner of the left eye upward and backward. Clip 
carefully under eye. Repeat on other side. With free hand, stretch the corner of the mouth with your thumb, using 
the rest of your hand to hold the mouth shut. Clip around mouth and side of face. Repeat on other side.

Holding muzzle, clip the area between the eyes and down the nose. To clip the muzzle, clip away from the eyes 
toward the nose. 
Hold the dogs head straight, throat taught, and clip bottom of muzzle (fig.9) the adams apple is normally the 
stopping point of the cut but you may clip lower. Clip the rest of the throat toward the muzzle.

STOMACH

Stand dog facing you. Lift front legs and clip from a point above the testicles or vulva in a straight line, use light 
pressure being careful not to nick the vulva, penis, testicles or nipples.
Cover them with your hand. Clip the hair on penis with the grain.
