A Detachable Blade System
enables you to quickly change from
a standard-width blade for full grooming to a narrow-width blade
for detail trimming around a mustache, goatee, or anywhere to
define the hair line and clip any stray whiskers.
To remove attachment, simply pull top edge of blade away from
body unit. To attach, align back tab of attachment head to cavity on
the inner edge of trimmer unit and
push down on top of blade.
Should blades become damaged
or dull or if you want additional attachment heads for your
trimmer, you may purchase them from Wahl. Be sure to ask for the
following attachment with part number from our service and repair
department (see last page for contact information):
The trimmer you purchased may not have all of these heads, but
they will all work with your trimmer if you wish to purchase them.
The vacuum may not capture trimmings as effectively with some of
these heads. You may order additional heads online at
grooming.wahl.com.
Self-Sharpening Blades
are made to maintain
their shape and sharpness for extended periods.
Blade Guard/Vac Attachment
protects blade
when storing and can also be used to vacuum
up stray hairs after trimming.

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.
2. Remove the trimmer, recharging transformer and accessories
from the packing material.
3. Connect the transformer to the trimmer. BE SURE TRIMMER IS
CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER
OILING BLADES
For best results, put one or two drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on
the blades only when necessary, or approximately once a month.
Motor bearings are permanently lubricated—do not attempt to oil.
When oiling your trimmer, hold the unit with the blades facing
DOWN and squeeze one or two drops of oil onto the blades. Wipe
off excess oil with soft cloth.
NOTICE—DO NOT OVER OIL!
Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if
allowed to seep back into motor.
BLADE CARE
Trimmer blades have
precision-hardened, ground
and lapped cutting teeth.
Blades should be handled
carefully and never bumped
or used to cut dirty or
abrasive material. Clean with
the included brush.
CLEANING/
STORAGE
To Clean Hair Collection
Chamber:
Holding the unit
upright, slide the collection
chamber out. With the hair
chamber lid open, tip the
chamber up, and gently
brush or rinse the trimmings
from both the chamber and
the screen. Should the filter
become detached, it can be
easily snapped back into
place. Be sure components
TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR
BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions.
You may find 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 the 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your
beard. Begin with the guide set at 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 much shorter
than the marked length.
Improved capture of trimmings by the
vacuum may be achieved by working upward from the base of
your beard to the top. Some experimentation will help you find
the best technique to maximize your style and the trimmer’s
vacuum feature.
Adjust the trimming guide to
progressively shorter settings until you
reach the desired length of beard. You
may wish to set the trimming guide
attachment to cut closer near the ear
and down under the chin, changing to a longer setting toward
the front of the face and point of your chin. When the trimming
guide is removed, it will remain at its last length setting until
you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is locked solidly into the
desired position before you start to trim.
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

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.
6. The battery will take approximately 90 minutes to charge.

discharged by trimming without the cord and by not recharging
after every use.
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.
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.)
the ears and hairline.
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.
TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT
COMBS
Your trimmer includes eight trimming attachments ranging from
1/8" to 1" in length. These attachments are ideal for blending,
tapering and defining beards, as well
as for achieving a “close trim” stubble
look around the face. To use the
attachments, use the same techniques
described for the 6-position guide,
starting with a longer comb and
working down to your desired length.

SPECIAL FEATURES:
Your trimmer has been designed with several advanced features
to help you get perfect results every time you trim. Your trimmer
may be used to neatly trim goatees, beards, mustaches, neckline,
sideburns around the ears and eyebrows, or anywhere you may
need grooming. It also makes a great all-around family trimmer for
mini haircuts and touch ups between trips to the barber or to clean
up the shape of the neck.

captures virtually all the facial
hair as it is cut. The trimmings are vacuumed into an
easy-to-empty collection chamber. Trimmings
are filtered from the air as it passes through
the trimmer. Any trimmings which may fall
into your sink or onto your countertop can
also be vacuumed up by the trimmer
with the blade guard/vac attachement.
Should you need a replacement hair
chamber, you may purchase one from Wahl.
Contact our service and repair department and ask
for part number #88252 (see last page for
contact information):

no guesswork in achieving it every trim. The
trimming guide is a two-piece assembly,
consisting of a base and a comb. It should not
be disassembled. To attach the guide, simply
slide it on at a slight angle and press the
