WARNING: The blade set must not be unscrewed
The blades must not be pushed apart and separated totally
• Remove the attachment comb (Fig. 5) after every use.
• Lift the blade set away from the clipper (Fig. 6).
• Use the cleaning brush to remove any cut hairs from the housing opening and from the blade set (Fig.

• Push the top blade to the side (Fig. 9a) and removed any cut hairs from the top and bottom blade
using the cleaning brush.
• After cleaning return the top blade to its initial position (Fig. 9b). The top blade should be aligned in the

through the blade and defend against bacteria and viruses.
• Wipe away excess fluid then oil the blade set with clipper oil (Fig. 10).
• Only wipe the clipper with a soft, slightly damp cloth.
• Reattach the blade set after cleaning (Fig. 7/8). Switch the clipper on briefly to ensure the oil is evenly
distributed.
