TRIMMING AND
EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming
steps and trimmer positions. You may find
#02229 #59303 #58067 #59307
different procedures work better for you.
1. Comb your beard in the direction that
it grows to help reveal stray hairs that
may be longer than the others.
2. Attach a guide to trim and taper your
beard. Begin with a guide of a long
trimming length. Trim toward your
chin in smooth, overlapping strokes,
following the lay of your beard. If you
trim against the way your beard naturally lays, the trimmer will
cut the hair shorter than the marked length.
Change the trimming guides to progressively shorter lengths
until you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to
trim closer near the ear and down under the chin, changing to a
longer guide toward the front of the face and point of your chin.
#1 1/2 #2
3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide.
Starting under your chin and working back toward your jawbone
and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your beard underneath
the jawbone. Continue the line all the way up to the ears and
hairline.

LITHIUM-ION BATTERY
REPLACEMENT, TRIMMER DISPOSAL
AND RECYCLING:
• For battery replacement send the entire, intact trimmer unit to:
Wahl Annex 3001 North Locust, P.O. Box 578, Sterling, IL 61081
• Do not attempt to remove the battery. Lithium-Ion batteries can
explode, catch fire, and/or cause burns if disassembled, damaged,
or exposed to water or high temperatures.
• If you choose not to replace the battery, the entire, intact trimmer
unit must be disposed. Do not attempt to remove the battery for
disposal. Lithium-Ion batteries may be subject to local disposal
regulations. Many locations prohibit disposal in standard waste
receptacles. Check your local laws and regulations.
• For recycling contact a government recycling agency, waste
disposal service, retailer, or visit online recycling sources, such as
www.batteryrecycling.com or www.rbrc.org.
RECHARGING
The trimmer cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often
as desired. However, periodic recharging of the trimmer, rather than
continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.
Charge when trimmer seems to lose power or run slower. The
charging LED will pulse while charging. LED will stay lit when
charging is complete.
1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It
should be allowed to charge 90 minutes before first use.

4. Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a downward
motion. Start at the line you've created and, working from the
chin back toward the ears, trim the area right under your beard

line.
5. Define the upper part of your beard using the same technique.
MUSTACHE TRIMMING
1. Comb your mustache. Looking into a well-lit mirror, comb your
mustache in the direction that it grows. This will help reveal stray
5 7
hairs and achieve an even, balanced trim.
2. Cut the outline of your mustache. Holding the trimmer in a
vertical position, with the nameplate side facing you, define the
line of your mustache. The extended tips on the blades let you
achieve a clean, well-defined mustache line.
3. Defining. As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with the name-
plate facing you. Using only the bare blades, make a definitive
line at the bottom of your mustache.
4. Tapering. Hold the trimmer with the nameplate facing away from
you. Again starting with the middle of your mustache, follow the
lip line and taper out the mustache until a gentle shape is created
on the bottom portion of your mustache.
5. Defining. As a finishing step, hold the trimmer with nameplate
facing make a definitive line at the bottom of your mustache.

& BEARDS
Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly
trim and shape.
TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR
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 guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter
settings if a shorter length is preferred.

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 completely charge the battery without
overcharging. Do not use the trimmer while it is charging.
6. The battery will take approximately 90 minutes to charge. The
Lithium Ion Trimmer also has quick charge capability.
7. Insert only recharging transformer plug supplied by the
manufacturer into charger receptacle.
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.)

TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH
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.
