Using for the first time
Before starting the clipper, remove the blade guard. Plug the cord into an electrical outlet, operate at 230-
240 volt, 50 cycle AC electrical current or as noted on the unit. To start the clipper move the switch button to
the “ON” (“I”) position. To stop, move the switch button back to the original position. After using your clipper
TR1250, rewrap the cord and store in a safe place.
Using the attachment combs
Some models do not have combs and sizes will vary by kit. You can set the blades for a longer cut by using
any of the attachment combs made for your clipper TR1250. The combs mount easily; simply slip the cutter
blade teeth into comb and snap the comb down. To remove, simply snap off (Figures A & B). These attach-
ment combs guide hair into the blades and give you precise control of hair lengths. The length of trim is indi-
cated on the attachment comb. Use the chart to find the approximate lengths of cut. Different blade angles in
relation to the skin, thickness and texture of the hair will vary the cutting length.
Power Adjustment
Your clipper TR1250 has been adjusted to line voltage at the factory. However, because of voltage variations,
it may be necessary to adjust the power setting for your area. If the power adjustment is off, you will usually
notice a “clatter” when the clipper is on or introduced into the hair. (It is normal for your clipper to “clatter”
for an instant when initially turned on).
To adjust your clipper
1. Oil the blades (Figure C).
2. The power screw is located in the lower part of the housing opposite the switch (Figure D).
3. Turn your clipper on.
4. Using a standard screwdriver that fits the slot, turn the power screw clockwise until the clipper clatters
continuously. Then turn the screw counterclockwise carefully until the clatter ceases.
5. Your clipper is now adjusted to its optimum power setting.
