Care And Cleaning - Wahl 8467 Manual

Adjusting the power screw (Not found in all Wahl models)
If your clipper has a power screw, it has been adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory. However, if the voltage in your home is low, you may need to readjust it. To
adjust power, first use the on/off switch to turn appliance on, then use the plastic brush, a screwdriver or a thin coin to turn power screw(E) in a clockwise direction until the arm
strikes the coil, making a noise (Fig. 3b). Then slowly turn power screw out (counterclockwise) just until noise stops. This is the maximum power setting (Fig. 3a).
Cutting length adjustment
Cutting lengths for different models(not found in all models):
· Raise the adjustment lever – minimum cutting length (Fig. 4a).
· Lower the adjustment lever – maximum cutting length (Fig. 4b).
Cutting with attachment combs (depending on model)
The appliance can also be operated with attachment combs. Attachment combs can be used to extend the cutting length range. Depending on the model, different-sized
attachment combs are included in the scope of supply.
Accessories are available from your dealer.
Attaching/removing the attachment comb
f Set the adjustment lever to the shortest cutting length (Fig. 4b).
1. Place the attachment comb onto the cutting edge of the blade set and press it down onto the blade set in the direction of the housing until it clicks into position (Fig. 3a).
2. The attachment comb can be easily removed by lifting the hook in the direction of the arrow (Fig. 5b).
Changing the blade set
Warning! Injuries and material damage due to incorrect handling.
f Switch the appliance off and disconnect from the power supply before changing the blade set.
1. Switch the appliance off using the on/off switch (Fig. 2b) and disconnect from the power supply.
2. Undo the screws on the blade set; remove the bottom blade and the top blade (Fig. 7).
When assembling, the bottom blade and the top blade should be aligned as follows:
f Set the adjustment lever to the shortest cutting length (Fig. 4a).
3. Place the top blade on the plastic cam (Fig. 8).
4. Position bottom blade and reinsert the two screws.
5. Before tightening the screws, align the bottom blade (Fig. 9).
Warning! Injuries due to incorrect handling.
f Align the bottom blade so that there is a gap of 0.5 mm to 1.0 mm between the front edge of the bottom blade and the front edge of the top blade (Fig. 9)
6. Tighten screws (Fig. 7).
