=================================== Attach ear trim guard to clipper. Slowly trim along hair line from back to front, be careful not to poke eyes. Hold the clipper at 45-degree angle and comb hair to remove tangles. Then use the largest attachment guard on the clipper. Start cutting at the hairline on side of head and cut up to middle of head. If hair is too long, repeat with next smaller guard. Continue around head repeating this step. Now it's time to cut middle portion of hair. Use the attachment guard with next highest number than before. Repeat steps 2-4 for each side of your head. For top of head, start at front bang area and use attachment guard with next highest number. Cut across top of head. Check if further cutting is necessary by combing all hair on entire head. Clipper comes with two ear trim guards - R right and L left. Attach one to the clipper and starting from behind ear, move it upward and around towards front side of ear. Repeat as necessary. Switch to other guard and repeat for other ear. While utilizing or misusing this warranty, you will possess specific legal rights; however, you may also have additional rights which vary by state. No other written express warranty is given, and no liability is assumed for incidental or consequential damages of any kind, including damage from unauthorized attachments. Some states do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so this restriction might not apply to you. Warranty only valid in U.S.A.; outside the U.S.A., consult with your local store for Wahl authorized distributor’s warranty information. # Attaching and Detaching Attachment Guards To secure an attachment guard onto the clipper while holding at a slight angle, place the guard into position so that the blade rests within the slots of the guard fingers. Use your thumb to push down on the guard until you hear a "SNAP". Ensure the guard size number is visible. # Removing Attachment Guard To detach the attachment guard, hold the top portion and press up on the tab to release it from the clipper. # Basic Usage 1. Begin by cutting sideburns. 2. Continue around your ear as illustrated in step 3. 3. Trim the neckline with the same technique. # Blending Techniques To create a seamless transition between sections, practice moving the clipper in an upward rocking motion. This will enable you to blend between lengths and achieve a smooth appearance. # Tips for Smooth Lines 1. Use the same guard size used in step 3 to blend out cut lines. 2. Repeat blending with different guards as needed to create a uniform finish. # Built-in Trimmer Support Attachment guards help maintain even hair length by keeping blades at a set distance from the skin. Each guard is numbered and indicates the desired hair length after cutting. Start with longer lengths; you can always use shorter lengths if necessary. When transitioning between attachments, ensure the on/off switch is turned off or in the "0" position. # Converting to a Trimmer To convert your clipper into a detail trimmer, open the lid and guide it over the blade like adding an attachment guard. Press down on the top center to secure it in place. Converting back to a clipper involves unsnapping the detail trimmer lid from the blade and reattaching it. # Safety Precautions Avoid using the cord to pull the clipper, as this may restrict movement. Be cautious not to touch any exposed electrical components when handling the device. =================================== Please follow the instructions to fully utilize your clipper and maintain its performance. First, plug the clipper into an outlet and reverse the plug. Do not touch or adjust the plug in any way. To achieve maximum power setting, follow these steps: 1. Turn on the clipper by pressing the "ON" button. 2. Use a detail cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn the power screw in a clockwise direction until you hear a clattering noise. Then, turn the power screw in a counterclockwise direction at least ¼ turn to stop the clattering sound. If your clipper is too noisy, try oiling the blades as directed in the previous section of the instruction booklet. Alternatively, adjusting the power screw can help reduce the "clatter sound." To adjust the power screw for reduced noise: 1. Turn on the clipper. 2. Use a detail cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn the power screw in a counterclockwise direction until the clattering sound goes away. Additionally, refer to the section on adjusting the power screw for peak efficiency before leaving the factory, and follow the guidelines for reducing excessive noise due to voltage fluctuations in your home. The taper lever allows you to gradually change the closeness of your cut, ideal for blending and fading. To adjust the lever: 1. Turn on the clipper. 2. Use the detail cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn the taper lever until it reaches the desired position. Moving the taper lever will change the length of your cut. When in the "Up" position, the closest cut is achieved; when in the "Down" position, the longest cut is made. If the blades become jammed with hair, move the taper lever up and down several times to help free them. To remove blades:
