OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WHY GROOM YOUR PET?
“A CLEAN PET IS ALSO A HEALTHIER PET”
Regular care removes eas and external parasites which
may cause skin disturbances and aect his/her health.
Regular grooming (brushing, combing and supplements) will
help reduce hair shedding and keep the hair from becoming
excessively matted. Generally, most household pets do not
need extensive care. Only a few minutes a day is enough
to help keep your pet healthier, better looking and happier.
The time you spend exclusively with your animal during the
grooming session will give the feeling that you are interested in
him/her. They will look forward to the special attention.
HOW TO OPERATE YOUR NEW WAHL PET CLIPPER
By following these simple steps, your quality Wahl pet
clipper will provide years of reliable and satisfactory
service:-
1. Do not attempt to operate this clipper before oiling blades.
Place a few drops of Wahl oil between the blades. Use only
Wahl oil and Wahl Hygienic spray.
2. On Wahl pet clippers, it may be necessary to adjust the
power screw to compensate for variance in line voltage. The
power screw is located near the middle of the clipper on the
right hand side. To adjust power or stroke, turn the power
screw clockwise until the clipper makes a loud cracking
noise caused by the arm hitting the coil. Gradually turn the
power screw counter clockwise until the clipper runs quietly.
6
Page 7
Wahl Pet Multi Cut Clipper
3. Do not try to sharpen the clipper blades at home if they are
1
3
2
dull. Special equipment is needed to re-sharpen the blades.
It is equally important never to wash your blades in water.
When the blades do not cut, they may need oiling or resharpening, you can return them to Wahl (UK) Ltd, Sterling
House, Clipper Close, Ramsgate, Kent CT12 5GG for the
attention of Customer Services. Blades will be sharpened for
a nominal charge.
4. To remove cutting blades for sharpening or replacement,
loosen and remove the 2 screws on the bottom blade (Fig
1b). To replace blades, simply use the same 2 screws and
re-tighten. Blades will need to be re-aligned.
5. Aligning the blades on your Wahl Pet clipper. Fig1b shows
how the bottom holes are larger than the shanks of the
blade screws. When the blade screws are loosened, the
bottom blade can be aligned. Tighten the screws after the
blade is aligned.
6. To align your blades the end of top blade teeth should be
.64mm to 1.27mm back from the bottom blade. This is
important so that the clipper does not cut too close or allow
the moving cutter to touch the skin (Fig 1a 1).
Extreme left hand tooth of top blade must be covering or to
the left of the rst small tooth of bottom blade (Fig 1a 2).
Extreme right hand tooth of the top blade must be touching
the big tooth on the bottom blade (Fig 1a 3).

BEFORE YOU CUT
1. Make sure your clipper is clean and in perfect working
condition.
2. Comb through the coat to remove any tangles, and then
bathe your animal in lukewarm water to remove any dirt.
We recommend the use of shampoo/conditioner from the
Wahl Shampoo range prior to cutting. There are shampoos
available for all types and colours of hair. Please visit www.
wahl.co.uk for more information.
3. Rinse well and allow the coat to dry completely.
4. Comb out any additional tangles to make trimming as easy
as possible. This is very important to prevent snags. When
using the comb attachments, if the coat is not clean, dry and
tangle free the combs will not remain on the clipper blades.
CLIPPING TIPS FOR ALL BREEDS OF DOGS
Before clipping your dog for the rst time, switch on the clipper for
a short time near the animal so it gets used to the noise. If clipping
for the rst time, the clipping process will be slow. Try to move with
the dog when clipping. After a few grooming sessions, you will
develop your own comfortable style and grooming will get faster.
Take your time and use lots of encouragement and aection.
Dogs know when you are in a hurry and will get nervous, making
grooming more dicult.
CLIPPING & TRIMMING DOGS
The rst time you cut hair, cut only a small amount until you have
become accustomed to how long each guide comb leaves the
hair. Ensure that you regularly remove trimmed hair from the
blades, clean and oil the blades during clipping.

CLIPPING GUIDE GENERAL - FEET
IT IS IMPORTANT TO TRIM OUT EXCESS HAIR ON PADS,
OTHERWISE THE PADS WILL BECOME DIRTY AND MATTED
CAUSING PAINFUL WALKING.
Have your dog sit facing you. Bring rear leg forward carefully, (g.2)
and clip sides of foot from nail to ends of toes.
Clip on top of toes, stopping at ankle joint. Don’t trim ankle. Spread
toes apart with thumb and nger (g.3). Cut hair between toes,
being careful not to nick the webbing. A trimmer with a smaller
blade may be easier in this sensitive area.
Spread bottom pads with thumb and clip between toes and
pads, being careful not to nick foot webbing (g.4). Touch up
stray hair with scissors.
FACE AND THROAT
Be very careful around this area, clipping too close may cause
razor burns. You should use the clippers in the same direction
as the lie of the coat. The clipper must not be used above or
around the eyes. When clipping ears lift them to ensure no
creases or folds of skin are on the area to be clipped (g.5).
Hold muzzle with your free hand. Cut from ear to the outside
corner of the eye in a straight line. Stretch the skin at the
outside corner of the left eye upward and backward. Clip
carefully under eye. Repeat on other side. With free hand,
stretch the corner of the mouth with your thumb, using the rest
of your hand to hold the mouth shut. Clip around mouth and
side of face. Repeat on other side.
Holding muzzle, clip the area between the eyes and down the
nose. To clip the muzzle, clip away from the eyes toward the
nose.

Page 10
Wahl Pet Multi Cut Clipper
Hold the dogs head straight, throat taught, and clip bottom of
muzzle (g.8) the Adam’s apple is normally the stopping point
of the cut but you may clip lower. Clip the rest of the throat
toward the muzzle.
g 2 g 3 g 4 g 5
STOMACH
Stand dog facing you. Lift front legs and clip from a point above
the testicles or vulva in a straight line, use light pressure being
careful not to nick the vulva, penis, testicles or nipples. Cover
them with your hand. Clip the hair on penis with the grain.
BODY
Tip: Stop frequently while clipping to u the hair. It will help
keep the hair even. Clip along the back, starting at the base of
the skull, and cut down the middle of the back to the tail (g.9).
Shorten all the hair as shown in the illustration, starting at the
neck (g.10) clip hair between shoulders and hips. Clip under
the chest from behind the front legs to the end of the rib cage.
Scissor trim to touch up.

REAR LEGS
Important: Be careful when clipping around the armpit and the
ank. There are areas of skin that are easy to cut; especially on
older dogs whose skin has loosened. Brush the hair in the back of
the legs in an upward and outward motion, to u. You can now
shape the legs as full or as tapered as you wish. Start by trimming
any hair that falls over the foot (g.11). Starting at ankle cut up to a
hip a little hair at a time (g.12). Once you are at the hip, blend hair
so it tapers into shorter body hair.
(When using guide combs on legs, complete your stroke; don’t stop
midway.)
Repeat with other leg, making it the same size as the rst leg.
Touch up with scissors.
FRONT LEGS
With the dog facing you, comb hair up and out. Trim front legs
to match the back legs. Comb hair at shoulders and blend with
shorter body hair. Comb hair on chest and between front legs; Trim
it to the length of the shoulder and body hair.
EARS
With the dog facing you, clip from the top of the ear downward.
Never turn the clipper in the other direction. Lay the ear in the palm
of your hand. Clip the outside of the ear rst and then the inside
(g.14).
Hold ear with your free hand and scissor cut the sides. Be careful
not to cut the ear itself (Fig.15).
Repeat with the other ear and touch up any stray hairs.

ADJUSTABLE BLADE
The convenient thumb adjustable multi cut lever found on most
Wahl Pet Clippers (g.16) provides for increased cutting variations
with fewer blades. In the uppermost position, the cut is very ne
and becomes gradually coarser as the lever is moved downward.
The following chart illustrates the cutting range of each set of blades
according to accepted pet industry grooming standards.

Clipping is generally done “With the Grain” or natural fall of the
hair on the body and legs. Clipping “With the Grain” will give
approximately a 50% longer cut. All lengths are approximate, and
may dier dependant on the position of the Taper Arm.
USING AN ATTACHMENT COMB
Attaching your clipper combs is easy. Hold the comb with the
teeth facing upwards. Snap the comb attachment rmly to the
bottom of the clipper blade until the tab is rmly gripped.(g.17)

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE CLIPPER
1. Only use specied electric power source shown on the rating
plate.
2. The cutting blades furnished with Wahl pet clippers are made
of special high carbon steel scientically heat treated for
correct hardness. Years of experience have created a special
process for grinding these blades to a super sharpness.
3. Clipper blades must be oiled BEFORE, DURING and
AFTER clipping, most clipper ‘problems’ are due to the lack of
oil to lubricate and cool. ALWAYS USE WAHL CLIPPER OIL.
Use of any other lubricant may damage your clipper or slow
down its cutting action. DO NOT CUT WET HAIR as this will
blunt blades prematurely.
4. Be careful not to drop your clipper or to ‘nick’ the blades.
5. Do not use this appliance if your blade is damaged, broken or
has missing teeth as this may cause injury.
6. Always replace the blade guard when the clipper is not in use.
This will help prevent accidental damage and blade dulling.
7. Periodically, we recommend that you dip the teeth of the
blade into a shallow pan of Wahl Clipper Oil (with the clipper
running) to ush out dirt and hair.
8. Do not run your pet clipper through the coat too fast, as this
may wedge hair clippings between the blades and impair their
cutting ability.
9. On models with a blade adjustment lever, the removal of
hair that is wedged between the blades can be done without
removing the blade. With the clipper running, simply move
the lever from ne to coarse a few times (Fig.18). This should
clear any wedged hair, if not the cutting blades may be dull.
Re-oil the blades and start again.
10. Keep clipper blades sharp. Clip only clean dogs. Grit and
grease is the main cause of blunt blades.
11. Wahl replacement blade sets including coarse and surgical,
are available for purchase. For more information please visit
www.wahlstore.co.uk or ask at your nearest Wahl stockist.

We recommend that you order a spare blade so that you will
always have a sharp clipper blade to hand.
USING YOUR PET TRIMMER: (Not Included in All Kits)
Battery Installation/Replacement
1. Remove battery compartment cover from bottom of trimmer
by sliding it o.
2. Insert one AA alkaline battery into trimmer.
3. Replace battery compartment cover to its original position
Note: To maximise battery life, trimmer should be shut “OFF”
immediately after each use.
HOW TO USE THE TRIMMING ATTACHMENT:
Your compact pet trimmer includes two trimming attachments,
medium and long cut. To use either one of the attachments,
simply insert one side of the attachment over the front of the
blades and then push the other side back until both sides are
locked into position. To remove attachment, pull tab away from
one side to release attachment from trimmer. Use somewhat of
a rolling pressure action, with your thumb on top and index nger
underneath.
Oil
CAUTION: Make sure that the guide comb is securely in place
on the blades before operating the unit.
14
Page 15
Wahl Pet Multi Cut Clipper
The two small plastic tabs inside the guide should be OVER
the blade and locked in the blade groove. This trimmer oers
an easy way to trim around the eyes, ears and legs without
shaving hair completely o. To trim the length you want just
choose the attachment and cutting direction indicated on the
chart (Chart.1.1). After selecting the length and trimming guide
desired, begin trimming your animal.
WHERE TO BEGIN:
Begin by bathing your Pet. Dirt and particles will quickly dull
trimmer blades. Rinse well and allow coat to dry. Remove any
tangles and make trimming as easy as possible. This unit is
intended for trimming and touch ups only.
SMALL ANIMALS:
A little trimming will really enhance a dog’s appearance. Carefully
begin trimming the legs and feet according to the style desired. The
legs maybe trimmed when the animal is sitting on a table with the
leg in your hand or while the animal is standing.
Trimming with the grain or lay of hair will give a slightly longer cut.
Be careful when trimming around joints and projections. Continue
by trimming around muzzle, chin and ears. Hold your dogs muzzle
with your free hand and trim around face and chin. To trim the ears,
lay the ears in the palm of your hand.
Trim from the top of the ears downward, clipping the outside of the
ears rst then inside. Hold the ear with your free hand and trim the
sides.

OILING TRIMMER BLADES:
For best results, put a drop of Wahl Clipper oil on the blades
periodically, or once a month. Motor bearings are lubricated do not
attempt to lubricate.
NOTE: Do not over oil.
The trimmer requires very little oiling. When necessary, turn the
trimmer ‘ON’ hold the unit with the blades facing DOWN, and
squeeze one drop of oil onto blades. Wipe o excess oil with
soft cloth.
