STUBBLE TRIMMER

SPECIAL FEATURES:

• Your trimmer has been designed with several advanced features to
help get perfect results every time you trim. Your trimmer may be
used to neatly trim goatees, beards, moustaches, neckline, sideburns
around ears and eyebrows, or anywhere you may need grooming.

It also makes a great all-round family trimmer for mini haircuts and

touch ups between trips to the barber or to clean up the shape of the
neck (image A).

• Your trimmer has an ergonomic shape and grip for added comfort,

designed so you always hold the trimmer in a comfortable position
for precise trimming. The shape also provides optimum trimming
visibility.

• A 7- position integrated guide comb makes achieving a consistent trim

easy every time (image C). The guide can be removed (providing an
eighth cutting position). To attach guide, simply slide it on, adjust the
trimming length by moving the comb upward or downward with your
thumb to the desired setting, and lock the comb into place (image B).

• A detachable blade system enables you to quickly change from
standard-width blade for full grooming to a narrow-width blade for
detail trimming around a moustache, goatee, or anywhere to dene

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 trimmer unit and push down on top of blade (Image E).

•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 attachments with part number
from our customer service department (see last page for contact
information)

STUBBLE TRIMMER

Self sharpening blades are high compression, high carbon steel,
made to maintain their shape and sharpness for extended periods.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

If your trimmer does not seem to take charge, check the following
before returning for repair.

1.Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another
appliance.

2.Make sure the outlet is not connected to a light switch which turns
the power 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.

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. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead outlet or
an unplugged charger will drain the battery.

5.If trimmer does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit
ON and pinch or push the blades manually. (oil may have dried out
between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together).

LITHIUM ION BATTERY REPLACEMENT, TRIMMER DISPOSAL
AND RECYCLING

•Do not attempt to remove the battery. Lithium Ion batteries can

explode, catch re, and/or cause burns if disassembled, damaged

or exposed to water or high temperatures.

•If you choose not to replace the battery, the entire intact trimmer

unit must be disposed. Do not attempt to remove the battery for

disposal. Lithium-Ion batteries may be subject to local disposal

regulations. Many locations prohibit disposal in standard waste
receptacles. Check your local laws and regulations

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions.

You may nd different procedures work better for you

9

STUBBLE TRIMMER

1.Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal stray
hairs that may be longer than others.

2.Attach the desired guide combs to trim and taper your beard.

3.Begin with the guide set at a longer 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 and the result may be
patchy. Adjust the trimming guides to progressively shorter settings
until you reach the desired length of beard. You may wish to set
the trimming guide.

NOTE: Always be sure the trimming guide is locked solidly into the
desired position before you trim.

4.To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide.
Staring 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 the ears and hairline.

5.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.

6.Dene the upper part of your beard using the same technique.

DETAILING NECKLINES, SIDEBURNS MOUSTACHES AND
BEARDS

Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and
shape.

TRIMMING ARM AND LEG HAIR

Simply guide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair

length is achieved. The rst time you trim the hair, start by using

a longer setting on the guide comb on the trimmer, then use
progressively shorter settings if a shorter length is preferred.

TRIMMING CHEST AND STOMACH

Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until
desired hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch free trimming use
the #1 setting on the guide comb.

CARE AND CLEANING

Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk away
any loose hairs form the unit and blades. For units with a soft touch
grip, use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the trimmer, taking
care not to get the blades wet. Store unit in such a manner so that
the blades are protected from damage. When the trimmer is not in
use, the trimmer guide/blade guard attachment should be in place to
protect the blades.

OILING BLADES

For best results, put one or two drops of Wahl clipper oil on the
blades, before and after every use. When oiling the trimmer, turn
the trimmer ON, hold the unit facing down and squeeze one or two
drops of oil onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil with a cloth.

Do not over Oil!

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

BLADE CARE

Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and lapped

cutting teeth. Blades should be handled carefully and never
bumped or used the cut dirty abrasive material. Replacement
blades can be ordered from the WAHL online store www.
wahlstore.co.uk
