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.

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.

• 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:

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.

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.

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

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.

plate facing you. Using only the bare blades, make a definitive
line at the bottom of your mustache.

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.
