TRIMMING YOUR MUSTACHE
WITH GUIDE COMBS
1. Comb your mustache.
2. Hold the trimmer in a vertical
position with the blades pointing
toward you in order to define the line
of your mustache.
3. With a fairly long trimming length,
begin trimming your mustache,
starting at the top and working down
to your upper lip. Use progressively
shorter lengths to get the look you
desire. You may also use the shortest
trimming length for finish blending
and tapering your mustache.
4. For tapering the mustache, use a
medium length. Starting in the middle
of your mustache, follow the lip line
and taper with short upward strokes
of the trimmer, working out toward
the corners until a gentle shape
is created on the bottom of your
mustache.
5. As a finishing step, remove the trimming guide and, using only
the bare blades, make a definitive line at the bottom of your
mustache.
GROWING A BEARD
There are three key factors that will determine which beard style is
best for you:
1. The shape and dimensions of your face.
2. The natural growth of your beard.
3. The thickness of your beard.
If you are unsure about the type of beard that would most suit your
face, speak with a professional hair stylist or go to
WahlUSA.com.
TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR
BEARD WITH GUIDE COMBS
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 trimming guide to trim and taper your beard.
Always
be sure the trimming guide is snapped solidly into the desired
position before you start to trim.
With the blades pointing
toward you, begin with a long trimming length.
For best results, start at each sideburn and stroke downward
toward your neck. 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 and the result may be patchy.
Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter lengths until
you reach the desired length of beard.
You may wish to cut closer near the
ear and down under the chin, changing
to a longer length toward the front of
the face and point of your chin.
3. Remove the trimming guide and cut
the outline of your beard. Rotate
the trimmer so that the blades are
pointing toward you. 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, use the shortest trimming length. In
an upward motion, start trimming under the chin with short,
outward, rolling strokes. Continue trimming until entire jawline
is blended.
10-POSITION GUIDE
(not included in all kits)
A multi-position trimming guide makes
achieving a consistent trim easy every
time. The guide can be removed
(providing an additional cutting position)
and reattached without changing the
preset cutting length, so once you have
found the perfect length, there’s no
guesswork in achieving it every trim. The trimming guide is a two-
piece assembly, consisting of a base and a comb. It should not be
disassembled.
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 sliding the thumb lever and
dialing the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
For Household Use Only
RECHARGING
1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It
should be allowed to charge overnight before first use.
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 not in use, it may 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 continuously charge the battery without
overcharging.
6. Ni-MH battery life may be extended with the following
procedure: Once every month, let the trimmer run until the
motor stops. Move the switch to the “OFF - 0” position and
recharge fully overnight.
7. You have a rechargeable cord/cordless trimmer. It can be used
with the cord, so you can trim even if the charge is low. The
trimmer cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often
as desired. We recommend that the battery be “worked” or
discharged by trimming without the cord and by not recharging
after every use.
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 AND 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 batttery
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 the side grip plates.
3. Pry the trimmer housing apart.
4. Locate circuit board and battery. Cut negative (−) end of battery
away from circuit board then positive (+) end.
5. Apply tape to both ends of the battery before recycling or
properly disposing of it.
6. Discard the entire trimmer.
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.)
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.
COLOR-CODED GUIDE COMBS
Color-coded guide combs make finding and remembering your
usual length quick and easy.
1. Choose the length you want from the handy color key on the
trimmer
2. Match the color from the key to the comb for a quick and easy
selection
3. Check the comb to make sure the length printed on it matches
the one you selected from the color key
4. Trim up that beard and look great!!!
