CLIP `N TRIM INSTRUCTIONS
CARE AND CLEANING
TAPER LEVER (Fig. 2)
Your clipper has an adjustable taper lever, it is conveniently located
near your thumb (if you are right handed), and so it can easily be
adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to
gradually change the closeness of your cut without a guide comb.
When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give
you the closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever
downward gradually increases the cutting length. In its lowest
position, the taper lever will leave the hair approximately the same
length as the 1/8 inch guide comb.
The taper lever will also extend the use of your blades since
a different cutting edge is used in each setting. In addition, if
extremely heavy haircutting has jammed the blades, it will help you
remove hair that has become wedged between the two blades.
While the clipper is running, rapidly move the lever from close cut
to longer cut a couple of times. Doing this each time you've finished
using your clipper will help keep the blades clear of cut hair. If your
clipper stops cutting and this does not help, your cutting blades
must be blunt. Either replace them or return to Wahl for sharpening.
OIL (Fig. 4)
The blades of your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts.
Simply place a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the teeth of the
blades. Use only one drop on the detail trimmer blades. Use only
Wahl Clipper Oil included in this kit. Due to the high speed of your
clipper the correct type of oil must be used. Do not use hair oil,
grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or any solvent, as the solvent
will evaporate and leave the thick oil, slowing down the blades.
Wahl Clipper Oil is a very thin, natural oil which will not evaporate
and not slow down the blades.
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. When stored, the cord should
