SA VE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
This Clipper Has Been Designed For Household Use Only
OIL
The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every
few haircuts. Place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil
on the teeth of the blades as well as at the back of the
blade . Use only the Wahl Clipper Oil included in the
pack. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with
kerosene or any solvent.
PO WER SCREW
Y our clipper has a power screw and it has been
adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory .
However , if voltage in your home is low , you may need to
readjust it. T o adjust power , turn your clipper
“ON ”
. Use the
end of the cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn power
screw in a clockwise direction until you hear a noise. Then,
slowly turn power screw in a counterclockwise direction, just
until noise stops. This is the maximum power setting.
CORD
The cord should not be used to pull the clipper . Since freedom
of movement needs to be
maintained, care should be used to keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed.
If your clipper has a polarized plug: T o reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance
has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits in a polarized outlet only
one way . In the event the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the
plug. Do not change the plug in any way .
T APER LEVER
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to
gradually change the closeness of your cut. (Up position = closest
cut; Down position = longest cut) Should the blades become
jammed with hair , move the taper lever up and down several times.
This will help free up the blades.
