Facts About Blades and Oiling

• Blades not only become dull from cutting hair--they are dulled by the abrasive particles on the hair, dirt, sand, etc.
• Blades will not cut if abrasive particles are picked up and carried by the oil film between the blades. These particles tend to hold the blades apart and cause chewing and pulling instead of clean cutting.
• Oiling the blades performs two distinct functions:
  1. Provides a low friction, very thin lubricant film between the cutting blades so that they can take a full cutting stroke without becoming hot from friction.
  2. Flushes abrasive particles and hair out from between the blades.

     Note: If you cut into dirt, immediately wash with oil to flush it out.

Servicing Of A Double-Insulated Appliance
In a double-insulated appliance, two systems of insulation are provided instead of grounding. No grounding means is provided on a double-insulated appliance, nor should a means for grounding be added. Servicing a double-insulated appliance requires extreme care and knowledge of the system, and should be done only by qualified service personnel. Replacement parts must be identical to those parts being replaced. A double-insulated appliance is marked with the words "double insulated". The symbol for double-insulated products may also be marked on the appliance.

Cleaning and General Care

• Before cleaning/maintenance, switch the equipment off and remove the main plug from the socket.
• Never immerse the unit in water.
• Each time after use remove any hairs from the cutting blade using the cleaning brush.
• Clean the body of the clipper with a soft, damp cloth. Never use solvents or scouring agents.
• The cutting head should be cleaned and oiled frequently with Wahl H-42 in order to maintain its good cutting performance and thus ensure a long service life.
• The cutting head should be replaced if the cutting performance is reduced after extended use despite regular cleaning and lubrication.
• During use always be sure the cord is not twisted or running over any sharp objects that might cut the cord insulation.

Cord
If your clipper has a polarized plug: To reduce the risk of electric shock, this appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). This plug fits in a polarized outlet only one way. In the event the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. In the event it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician to install the proper outlet. Do not change the plug in any way.

Cleaning The Air Filter

• Clean the air filter once a week or more often if necessary.
• Remove filter cover and clean air filter with cleaning brush.
• Snap the filter cover onto the clipper until it click locks into place.

Changing The Cutting Head (Blade)
The cutting head can be removed by pressing the gray button under the blade and pushing the blade away from the housing. The clipper should be switched off before removing blades.

To Refit the Blade Set the clipper should be turned on and running.
Fit the blade into the metal guide and press it into place. There will be a definite click when the blade is snapped in place.
