Wahl Adjustable Blade Set

Cleaning Your Wahl Clipper

All Wahl Clippers are tested before they leave our factory. Often testing materials or grinding compound may be found on the blades. This is easily
cleaned off using the enclosed blade cleaning brush. Your Clipper blades should be removed periodically (at least once a month) to allow the cut hair to
be cleaned out from under the blades. Simply use a screwdriver to undo the blade screws and then remove the blades. Remove the sponge and clean it
plus any hair that is caught in the clipper. Reverse the process to re-attach the blades.

Aligning Your Wahl Clipper Blades

Wahl Clippers have adjustable blade alignment which needs to be reset after removing the blades or tuning your clipper, as this will affect the blade
alignment. With the blade screws only semi tightened, you can move the bottom blade around to position it correctly as below:

• If your clipper has a taper lever, move the taper lever upwards towards the lid of the clipper so the blades are in the closed position i.e. closest
  cutting length.

• The top & bottom blades should be parallel with the top blade approximately 0.8mm behind the bottom blade. (Do not have the top
  blade level with the bottom blade as this can cause skin pinching or cutting)

• The extreme left hand tooth on the top blade should be positioned so it is over the gap between the two left hand teeth of the lower blade. i.e. the
  extreme left gap on the lower blade.

• Slowly tighten each screw ensuring you do not alter the alignment in the process. The best way is to tighten each screw a little at a time swapping
  from one to the other.

• Check your alignment setting with the blades tightened and the lever in the closed position to ensure you do not cause pinching or cutting of the
  skin.
