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 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 continuously charge the battery without overcharging.
6. 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.
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.)
CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER
OILING BLADES
For best results, put one or two drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the blades only when necessary, or approximately once a month. Motor bearings are perma-
nently lubricated—do not attempt to oil.
When oiling your trimmer, turn the trimmer “ON,” hold the unit with the blades facing DOWN and squeeze one or two drops of oil onto the blades. Turn the
trimmer “OFF.” 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 hardened, precision-ground cutting teeth. Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to cut dirty or abrasive
material.
CLEANING/STORAGE
Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk any loose hairs from the unit and the blades. Store unit in such a manner so that blades are
protected from damage.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Your trimmer has been designed with several advanced features to help you get perfect results every time you trim.
•Soft-Touch Grip allows you to hold the trimmer in a comfortable position for precision trimming.
•An ergonomic shape allows you to hold the trimmer in a comfortable position for precision trimming. It also provides optimum visibility.
•A Multi-Position Trimming Guide provides the greatest choice of cutting lengths for a consistent trim every time. The guide can be removed
(providing another cutting position) and reattached without changing the preset cutting length, so once you have found the perfect length,

guide, simply slide it over the blade at a slight angle and press down to secure in position. To remove the guide, gently push up on the release
tab or press the head release button and slide the assembly away from the trimmer. Adjust the trimming length by pressing on the thumb lever
and sliding to the desired setting.
•A Detachable blade system enables you to quickly change from a standard-width blade for regular trimming to a narrow-width blade for detail trimming
anywhere to define the hair line and clip any strays.
• 5,000 RPM blade speed
To remove attachment, simply pull top edge of blade away from body unit. To attach, align back tab of attachment head to cavity on the inner
