CLEANING ATTACHMENTS WITH WATER

1. Remove attachment.

2. Rinse ONLY the attachment under warm running water. Do NOT use hot water

as this might case damage.

CLEANING ATTACHMENTS WITH BRUSH

■ After first removing attachment, thoroughly brush and blow out hair clippings from cutter system, attachment, and top of power handle.

OILING BLADES & CAUTIONS

■ Rinsing attachments under water (above) requires lubricating the cutting blades 1x monthly. Using only light-grade oils (e.g. sewing machine oil), simply spread 1-2 drops lightly over cutters with fingertip. Wipe away all excess.

■ Use only light-grade oils as these will not evaporate nor slow down speed of cutting blades.

■ Do not use hair oil, grease, or any oil mixed with kerosene nor solvent as these too will evaporate.
