IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS: 

Read all instructions carefully before using. When 

using an electrical appliance, basic precautions 

should always be followed, including the following:

DANGER

To reduce the risk of death or injury by electric 

shock:
1. Do not reach for the Shaver/Shaper, after it has 

fallen into water. Unplug immediately. 
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store the Shaver/Shaper where it 

can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do not place 

or drop into water or liquid.
4. Always unplug the unit from the electrical 

outlet, immediately after using.
5. Unplug unit before cleaning.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock 

or injury to persons:
1. This appliance is not suitable for use by people 

(including children) with physical, sensory or mental 

disabilities or who do not have the relevant 

experience or knowledge of using such appliance 

unless under the supervision of or after having 

received instruction in the use of the appliance by an 

individual who is responsible for their safety. 

Children should be supervised to ensure they do not 

play with the appliance.
2. Use the Shaver/Shaper only for it’s intended use, 

as described in this manual. Do not use attachments 

not recommended by the manufacturer.
3. Never operate if the unit has a damaged cord or 

plug, if not working properly, if dropped or 

damaged, or if dropped into water. Return your 

CLEANING YOUR FOIL/CUTTER BAR

For your system to work properly, it is important 

that you begin shaving with blades that are clean 

and free of hair and other debris that might effect 

performance. It is recommended that you clean 

your Shaver/Shaper after every 2 or 3 shaves, 

using the cleaning brush, and following the 

instructions outlined below.

Shaver/Shaper: Remove the foil head from the top 

of your Shaver/Shaper, by pressing the round 

button located on the right side of the unit, and 

lifting the flex foil head off of the shaver. This will 

expose the cutter bar assembly. The flex foil head 

may be cleaned of loose material, by gently 

tapping it against the surface of your sink. Be 

sure your sink is empty, and does not contain any 

water in it before you hold your Shaver/Shaper 

over it. Never hold any electrical appliance over 

any container that has water in it, as it may fall 

into the water and cause severe electrical 

shock. Remove any loose hair and debris from 

the cutter bar assembly and surrounding area, by 

brushing it away gently with your cleaning brush. 

Then, remove the cutting bar, by gently pressing 

down on it, and turning it 90 degrees. It should 

pop right off. Run the cutter bar under some 

warm water, and dry it off with a paper towel. 

Return it to the shaver by reversing this process, 

and replacing the foil head. By properly cleaning 

and maintaining your Shaver/Shaper it will 

provide maximum comfort and bump-free 

shaving.

AFTER SHAVING: 

Wash your face with soap 

and warm water, and apply any talc or after-shave 

lotion of your preference.

TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS:

If you are using an electric shaver for the first time, 

your skin will probably need to condition itself to this 

new shaving technique. Always shave with a light 

touch and use your Wahl Shaver/Shaper exclusively 

for three to four weeks, or longer if you have sensitive 

skin or if your whiskers grow at different angles in 

certain areas. Initially, your shaves may not be as close 

as you would like. But, stick with it, and you will 

eventually get the great shave you are looking for. If 

you have been using another type of electric shaver 

before, there may be a period of conditioning, before 

you receive maximum results from the Shaver/Shaper.

CUSTOM SHAVING 

We suggest that you thoroughly cleanse and 

completely dry your skin prior to shaving.
Provided your beard is no longer than 1/32”, begin 

shaving at the neckline, in short, upwards strokes, 

and then continuing upwards, until you have shaved 

all areas of your beard, as you desire. The Shaver/

Shaper is especially designed to remove most facial 

hair, and give you a close, clean shave, that is bump 

and irritation free. Do not press hard against the 

skin, but allow the shaver to work for you. The 

results should provide you with the closest shave 

possible, without bumps or irritation.
For those times when your beard is longer than 

1/32”, begin by using a trimmer, to cut your beard, 

then use the Shaver/Shaper to get a close, clean 

shave. The foil head of the Shaver/Shaper is 

especially designed for “bump-free shaving “and will 

not feed hair into the cutter bar, that is longer than 

1/32”.
(As a general rule, we recommend replacing the Flex 

Foil Head every six months for maximum results. 

The foil is micro-thin with precise, raised inner 

cutting edges around the whisker holes. These 

raised cutting edges will wear with use, which will 

be indicated if your shaver slows down and the 

blades seem to get warm. Always replace the Foil 

Guard to protect the delicate dual foil heads when 

the shaver is not in use. To ensure continued 

shaving satisfaction, you should replace the foils 

often and cutter bar periodically. We recommend foil 

replacement twice a year. Cutters should be replaced 

at least every two years.)

CHARGING OPERATION

The Shaver/Shaper can be used with a cord, or 

without the cord if adequately charged.  Unlike many 

other shavers, you will have the ability to shave even 

if the battery power is low.
·For best performance, charge for 18 hours before 

the first shave.
This product has been designed with the charger in 

the plug.  This construction allows the shaver to be 

very powerful yet much lighter for easier 

maneuverability, and it also keeps the line voltage 

safely at the plug, and not in the shaver.
·Plug the transformer cord into the shaver.  BE SURE 

SHAVER IS IN THE “OFF” POSITION, (MARKED “O” 

ON THE SHAVER) WHEN CHARGING, except when 

the unit is running.
·In the “off” position, the Recharging Indicator Light 

will glow whenever the shaver is connected to an AC 

power supply.  (If might take a minute or two for the 

LED indicator to glow, if the battery is fully 

discharged.)  The shaver cannot be overcharged, so 

you may charge it as often as desired.  However, 

periodic recharging of the shaver, rather than 

continuous recharging, will prolong the battery life.

CORD CARE

The cord should never be used to pull the Shaver/

Shaper.  Freedom of movement needs to be 

maintained.  Care should be used to keep the cord 

untwisted, and undamaged.
When stored, the cord should be coiled and placed 

neatly in a dry place.

Shaver/Shaper to Wahl Clipper Corporation for 

examination & repair.
4. Keep the appliance dry
5. Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
6. Never drop or insert any object into any opening.
7. Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol 

(spray) products are being used or where oxygen is 

being administered.
8. Do not use this Shaver/Shaper with a damaged or 

broken foil, as facial injury may occur. 
9. Always attach plug to appliance first, then to the 

outlet. To disconnect, turn all control to “off”, and 

then remove plug from outlet.
10. Use only the charger supplied by the 

manufacturer to recharge this shaver.

Cutter Bar Assembly by gently pressing down, and 

turning the bar 90 degrees.

back in place.
6.Return the Cutter Bar Assembly and Flex Foil Head.
7.For proper disposal, call 1-800-8 BATTERY for a 

recycling center in your area.

QUICK TIPS & HANDY REMINDERS

1.If you are a first-time electric shaver user, or 

changing from another brand, there will be a 2-3 

week (or less) adjustment period, while your face and 

beard adapt to the new foil.
2.When you open your package, charge your shaver 

for 18 hours before the first shave.
3.Replace the foil every 6-12 months, depending on 

how often you shave and how tough your beard is.
4.Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bar and foil 

every two or three shaves.
5.Replace the cutter bar every 12-18 months.
6.Keep using and your face and beard will adapt to 

the shaver.
7.During the break-in period of the cutter bar, you 

may experience a black residue left on the face.  It is 

a harmless combination of whiskers, skin debris and 

minute particles from the cutter bar, which will wash 

off easily.  This condition will quickly disappear with 

use.
