OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS

If you are using an electric shaver for the rst time, your

skin will probably need to condition itself to this new shaving
technique.

Start on the easiest part of the face rst, usually the smooth

portion of the face below the ear. Shave with a light touch
and use your Wahl Shaver exclusively for three to four

weeks, or longer if you have sensitive skin or if your whiskers
grow at di󰀨erent angles in certain areas. Initially your shaves
may not be as close as you would like, and your skin
may become a bit irritated. But if you stick with it, you will

eventually get great shaves.

If you go several days without shaving and your beard gets

a bit long, use the pop-up trimmer to go over your beard,

catching all the longer hairs and setting up the remaining
stubble for the foil to shave smooth and clean.

If you have been using another type of electric shaver before,

there may also be a period of conditioning prior to receiving
maximum results.

QUICK TIPS & HANDY REMINDERS

1. If you are a rst-time electric shaver user, or changing
from another brand, there will be a 2 to 3 week (or less)

adjustment period while your face and beard adapts to
the new foil.

2. When you open your package, charge your shaver for 1

hour before the rst shave or until charging is complete.

3. Replace the foil head and cutter bars every 12 months
or if foils are damaged. Replacement foils can be
ordered by contacting WAHL customer Services.

10

SHAVER

4. Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bars and foil after every
three or four shaves.

5. Use the pop-up long-hair trimmer to snip stray hairs.

6. Keep using and both your face and beard will adapt to the
shaver.

TRAVEL LOCK

The Wahl Shaver comes with an electronic travel lock to avoid
accidental activation while transporting.
Hold power button down for 3 seconds to engage travel lock.
Hold power button down for 3 seconds to disengage travel lock.

When travel lock is active, pressing the power button will cause
the LED(s) to ash for 1 second.

NOTE: The shaver will not charge while the travel lock is
engaged

CHARGING OPERATION

The shaver cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as
often as desired. However, periodic recharging of the shaver,
rather than continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.

60 minutes charge time will provide you with 90 minutes
cordless operation.

MODELS WITH 1 LED

Charge when shaver seems to lose power or run slower. The

charging LED will light up while charging. LED will turn o󰀨 when

charging is complete.

MODELS WITH 2 LEDS

The red LED will ash for one second when turning o󰀨 the
shaver when it is time to charge (below 10%).
The blue LED will light up while charging. LED will turn o󰀨 when

charging is complete.

11

SHAVER

MODELS WITH 5 LEDS

The LED meter will show the amount of charge left on the

shaver.The fewer lights that are lit, the lower the charge on
the battery is.The red LED will ash for one second when
turning o󰀨 the shaver when it is time to charge (below 10%).
While charging, the LED meter will show the progression of
charging. All LEDs will turn o󰀨 when charging is complete.

WARNING. Do not operate the shaver if the shaving foil
is damaged.

SHAVING PROCEDURES FOR FAST, CLOSE SHAVES

We suggest that you thoroughly cleanse
and completely dry your skin prior to
shaving. For maximum speed and

e󰀩ciency, hold the shaver so that both

screens are in contact with the skin.

When shaving the upperlip or neck, hold

shaver so that the uppermost screen is
in contact with skin.
Shave both with and against the grain of

the beard, and stretch the skin taut in the path of the shaver.

Guide the dual foil heads gently back and forth, primarily
against the grain of the beard. Do not press screen heads
hard against face. Heavy scrubbing action with the shaver
could damage the foil and will not result in a closer shave.
Always replace the foil guard to protect the delicate dual foil

heads when shaver is o󰀨.

12

SHAVER

SHAVING HEAVY BEARD GROWTH

Begin shaving in a less dense area
of the beard. Move the shaver in a
circular motion on a small area of the

face (this picks up the hairs that grow
in all directions).

When you see that this small area is
shaved clean, gradually move into a
new area while still using the circular

motion.Continue this motion, one
small section at a time, until entire face is shaved.

If your beard has more than 3 days of growth, use the
pop-up Long-Hair Trimmer to cut the beard down to about a
one-day growth before using the shaver foil.

LONG-HAIR TRIMMER OPERATION

Your shaver features a special long-

hair trimmer located on the back
of the shaver which telescopes up
from the foil head for precise and

easy trimming of sideburns, beards
or moustaches,and for removing
long hairs from the neck. And, as
mentioned earlier, it can be used to

“knock down” heavy beard growth
prior to shaving with the foil.

To use, remove Foil Guard and simply push the Long-Hair
Trimmer Switch in an upward motion until trimmer slides

(clicks) into position. Push On/O󰀨 Switch. Then begin

trimming/styling

13

SHAVER

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
SHAVER HEAD CARE

For maximum performance, we

recommend you clean your shaver

after every few shaves. Any servicing,

other than replacement of foil head and

cutter bars, should be performed by an

authorised Wahl Service Center or Wahl
customer services.

To clean, turn shaver “OFF” and remove
the foil head by pushing the shaver
head release buttons on the sides of the
shaver and lifting the foil head upward.

Lightly tap the open side of the foil head
on a hard surface to remove the majority
of loose stubble particles.

Be careful not to tap the foil.

For easy cleaning, you may

rinse your shaver with water.

While the foils can be rinsed,

we recommend removing the

foil head, and rinsing the cutter

bars. This will allow any hairs
still on the cutter bars to be
washed away. Leaving the foil

head on while rinsing makes in more di󰀩cult for hairs to be

washed clean.

14

SHAVER

TO REMOVE CUTTER BAR

Turn shaver o󰀨. Remove the foil

head and, holding the shaver in
one hand, gently pull up on cutter
bar. Be sure your thumb and rst

nger are positioned at each end of

the cutter bar.

WARNING: Handle cutting
components with care to avoid
personal injury.

NOTE: If you do not hold the

cutter bar as shown, brushing the

blades could result in damage to
the assembly.

When the foil head and cutter bars

are removed from the shaver, an

alternate cleaning method is to rinse
them under running water. Simply let

them air dry. After cleaning, replace

the cutter bars by pressing down

gently. Carefully replace the foil head,

snapping it into place.

From time to time, depending on the density of your beard,

you will need to replace the cutters and foils. If you notice

that it is taking you longer to shave, or if your face starts to
feel some irritation, or if the foil seems to become warm to
the touch, it is probably time to replace the cutters and foils.

Replace the cutters and foils only with WAHL parts. Please
contact Wahl customer services for replacement.

15

SHAVER

OILING THE FOILS & CUTTER BAR

Oil lubrication helps maintain smooth blade movement and
shaving performance. If the shaver is regularly cleaned
under water. The Foils should be oiled at least once per
week. Use clipper oil or shaver oil.

Instructions: When foils and blades are clean and dry,

apply a drop of oil to the top of each foil and on top of the

center cutter bar. Use nger to gently spread the oil over

the surface. Turn the shaver on for 10 seconds to help

distribute the oil onto the blades below. Turn o󰀨 shaver and

use a tissue or soft cloth to wipe any excess oil from the
surface.

CLEANING & OILING TRIMMER BLADES

Clean with the included brush. For best results, put one or
two drops of blade 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 shaver, turn the shaver “ON - I,” hold

the unit with the blades facing DOWN and squeeze one or

two drops of oil onto the blades. Wipe o󰀨 excess oil with

soft cloth.
Blade oil can be purchased from Wahl customer services.

NOTE: DO NOT OVER OIL!

Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause
damage if allowed to seep back into motor.

FOIL & BLADE CARE

Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and
lapped cutting teeth. Foils, cutter bar, and blades should be

handled carefully and never bumped or used to cut dirty or
abrasive material.

16

SHAVER

STORAGE

Before storing your shaver, use the cleaning brush to whisk
any loose hairs from the unit, foils, cutter bar, and blades.

Store unit in such a manner so that blades are protected

from damage. When the shaver is not in use, the shaver

foil/blade guard attachment should be in place to protect the
blades.
This appliance should be stored in a manner where it is not

subjected to crushing, heating above 100°C (212°F), or

incineration.

CORD CARE

The cord should not be used to pull the shaver. Freedom of
movement needs to be maintained. Care should be used to
keep the cord untwisted and undamaged.

When stored, the cord should be coiled and replaced neatly

in its original package or storage pouch.

WET/DRY USE

NOTE: Do not submerge shaver in more than 3 feet

of water or for more than 30 minutes to prevent water

ingress into the electronics.
Warranty is void if shaver is submerged beyond these
limitations.
The Wahl shaver is designed to be water resistant and

shower proof (IPX7). This lets you use your Wahl shaver in

the shower or at the sink without worry and makes it easy to
clean under running water.
