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. For units with a soft-touch 

grip, use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the trimmer. 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.

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 mini haircuts and touch ups between trips to 

the barber or to clean up the shape of the neck.

 

Rubber Grip

 allows you to hold the trimmer in a comfortable 

position for precision trimming.

 

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.
To remove attachment, 

simply pull top edge of 

blade away from body 

14.  This charger is intended to be correctly orientated in a 

vertical or floor mount position.

15.  Always attach plug to appliance first, then to outlet.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY 

REPLACEMENT, TRIMMER DISPOSAL 

AND RECYCLING:

• For battery replacement send the entire, intact trimmer unit to: 

Wahl Annex 3001 North Locust, P.O. Box 578, Sterling, IL 61081

• Do not attempt to remove the battery.  Lithium-Ion batteries can 

explode, catch fire, and/or cause burns if disassembled, damaged, 

or exposed to water or high temperatures.

• If you choose not to replace the battery, the entire, intact trimmer 

unit must be disposed. Do not attempt to remove the battery for 

disposal. Lithium-Ion batteries may be subject to local disposal 

regulations.  Many locations prohibit disposal in standard waste 

receptacles. Check your local laws and regulations.

• For recycling contact a government recycling agency, waste 

disposal service, retailer, or visit online recycling sources, such as 

www.batteryrecycling.com or www.rbrc.org.

RECHARGING

 The trimmer cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often 

as desired. However, periodic recharging of the trimmer, rather than 

continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.
Charge when trimmer seems to lose power or run slower. The 

charging LED will pulse while charging. LED will stay lit when 

charging is complete.
1.  This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It 

should be allowed to charge 90 minutes before first use.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

When using your electrical appliance, basic precautions 

should always be followed, including the following:

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS 

BEFORE USING THIS APPLIANCE.

DANGER

To reduce the risk of death or injury by electric 

shock:

1.  Do not reach for an appliance that is plugged in and 

has fallen into water. Unplug immediately from the 

outlet. Note: Some electrical parts inside the trimmer 

are electrically live, even with the switch “off.”

2.  Always unplug this appliance before cleaning.

3.  Unplug the charger before using appliance. Appliance will 

not operate when plugged in.

4.  Except when charging, always unplug this appliance from 

the electrical outlet immediately after using.

5.  Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be 

pulled into a tub or sink. Do not place in or drop into water 

or other liquid.

WARNING

To reduce the risk of burns, electrical shock or injury 

to persons:

1.  This appliance can be used by children aged from 14 

years and above and persons with reduced physical, 

sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience 

and knowledge if they have been given supervision or 

instruction, by a person responsible for their safety, 

concerning the use of the appliance in a safe way and 

understand the hazards involved. Children should be 

supervised to ensure that they do not play with the 

2.  Remove the trimmer, recharging transformer and accessories 

from the packing material.

3.  Connect the transformer to the trimmer. BE SURE TRIMMER IS 

IN THE “OFF - 0” POSITION WHEN CHARGING. 

4.  Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical 

outlet at the correct voltage.

5.  When trimmer is low in power, it should be connected to the 

transformer and plugged into an outlet to assure maximum 

power is available when it is next used. This transformer  

is designed to completely charge the battery without 

overcharging.  Do not use the trimmer while it is charging.

6.  The battery will take approximately 90 minutes to charge.  The 

Lithium Ion Trimmer also has quick charge capability.

7.  Insert only recharging transformer 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 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.)

TRAVEL LOCK

The Wahl 9899 trimmer comes with an electronic travel lock to 

avoid accidental activation while transporting.
Hold power button down for 5 seconds to engage travel lock.
Hold power button down for 5 seconds to disengage travel lock.
NOTE: Plugging in power cord while locked will deactivate the travel 

lock.

WET/DRY USE

The Wahl trimmer is designed to be water resistant and shower 

proof. This lets you use your Wahl trimmer in the shower or at the 

sink without worry and makes it easy to clean under running water.
NOTE: The trimmer is for wet/dry use. The trimmer will not run 

while the cord is attached for safety. 
For best results use on damp or dry hair. Cutting hair while 

it is saturated with water is not good for the hair and is not 

recommended.

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.

attachment heads for your trimmer, you may purchase them from 

Wahl. Be sure to ask for the following attachment with part number 

from our service and repair department (see last page for contact 

information):

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 grooming.wahl.com.

 

Self-Sharpening Blades

 are made to maintain their shape and 

sharpness for extended periods.

USING GUIDE COMBS: 

To attach guide combs, hold comb with 

the teeth up.  Snap guide comb attachment 

firmly to the bottom of the trimmer blade.

STUBBLE GUIDE COMBS:

TRIMMING WITH GUIDE 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.

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.

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, 

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 guide comb.

HAIR & LONGER BEARD GUIDE 

COMBS:

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 shorter than the marked length.
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. 

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.
