Please read all instructions carefully to familiarise yourself with your new Wahl trimmer before using.
Save these instructions for further reference.
When using your electrical appliance, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:
Danger of explosion
► Never use the appliance where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is released.
KEEP THE APPLIANCE DRY |
If your Trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair:
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 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 one or two drops of oil onto the blades. 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.
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.
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 guide/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.
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.
► Soft-Touch Grip (9854, 9860, 9888) allows you to hold the trimmer in a comfortable position for precision trimming.
► An Ergonomic Shape and Gripping Horizontal Bars (9876) for added comfort, designed so you always hold the trimmer in a comfortable position for precision trimming. The shape also provides optimum trimming visibility.
► A Rotating Head (9876). The trimming head rotates 360 degrees, providing two trimming positions. This allows you to achieve the optimum ergonomic relationship between the hand, the trimmer and the face. Rotate the head to the desired position as follows. With the switch in the "OFF - 0" position, depress the lock button and rotate the head clockwise or counterclockwise 360 degrees.
► A 6-Position Trimming Guide makes achieving a consistent trim easy every time.
The guide can be removed (providing a seventh 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 pressing on the thumb lever and moving the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.
► 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 unit. To attach, align back tab of attachment head to cavity on the inner edge of trimmer unit and push down on top of blade.
Should blades become damaged or dull or if you want additional attachment heads for your trimmer, you may purchase them from Wahl. Be sure to ask for the following attachment with part number from our service and repair department (see last page for contact information):
The trimmer you purchased may not have all of these heads, but they will all work with your trimmer if you wish to purchase them. You may order additional heads.
► Self-sharpening blades are high compression, high-carbon steel, made to maintain their shape and sharpness for extended periods.
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. You may find different procedures work better for you.
Adjust the trimming guide to progressively shorter settings until you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set the trimming guide attachment to cut closer near the ear and down under the chin, changing to a longer setting toward the front of the face and point of your chin. When the trimming guide is removed, it will remain at its last length setting until you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is locked solidly into the desired position before you start to trim.
#1 | Stubble Length | (2 mm) |
#2 | Short | (4 mm) |
#3 | Medium Short | (6 mm) |
#4 | Medium | (8 mm) |
#5 | Medium Long | (10 mm) |
#6 | Long | (12 mm) |
Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and shape.
Simply glide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair length is achieved. The first time you trim the hair, start by using a longer setting on the guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter settings if a shorter length is preferred.
Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until desired hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch-free trimming, use the #1 guide comb.
FOR THE CLOSEST LOOK. After trimming, attach the shaver head.
The shaver makes for the perfect tool to groom the total body. Using the same technique, as mentioned prior, you can groom wherever you feel a need. Shave against hair growth while stretching the skin. After every use, remove the shaver foil by pressing both side buttons and carefully using cleaning brush provided.
Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in and out of each nostril, no more than 1/4-inch deep.
Make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold the ear flat with one hand and carefully insert detailer no more than 1/4-inch into the outer ear.
Do not insert the detailer or any other foreign object into the inner ear. For hair growing on the outside of the ear, simply move the detailer slowly along the edges of the ear.
Slowly move detailer to neatly trim stray hairs. For precise, even trimming, slowly move the detailer closer or farther away from eyebrows to achieve desired length. Do not press against brow as it may remove too much hair.
Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish the ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut against the grain for the shortest cut. Don't force the blade through the hair. Let the trimmer do the work.
Your Trimmer includes three trimming attachments; stubble, medium and long. The stubble guide has 1 bar, the medium-cut attachment has two bars and the long-cut attachment has three bars. 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.
