TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BOTH MODELS
If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before
returning it for repair:
1.Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another appliance.
2.Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging transformer, all
the connections are secure and the switch on the trimmer is turned OFF.
3.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.
4.If the 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.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL
Under normal use, the rechargeable battery in your trimmer will last from
three to ve years. If a replacement battery should be necessary. Do not
attempt to replace the battery yourself. (See page 17 for details)

CUTTING HAIR
The rst time you cut hair, cut only a small amount until you become accus–
tomed to how long each guide comb leaves the hair. Always start by placing
the largest guide comb on the clipper, then use shorter combs (or settings – if
using adjustable guide combs) if a shorter length is desired.
Remember, between professional haircuts, the hair grows evenly all over the
head and a light trimming at lower neck and sides may be all that is needed
to bring back that neat, well groomed look.
For uniform cutting, allow the trimmer to cut its way through the hair. Do not
force it through at a faster rate.
1.Start by combing the hair so it falls in its natural direction.
2.Place the largest guide comb onto your trimmer and start by trimming
the sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the trimmer lightly against the hair,
with teeth of the guide comb pointing up but at against the head. Slowly lift
the trimmer up and outward through the hair, cutting only a small amount at
a time. Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you desire shorter hair, either change to a shorter guide comb (or setting
– if using adjustable combs) or apply more pressure and less lift away from
head with the present attachment.
This entire procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave to
much hair the rst few haircuts.
For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you use the No.1
guide comb (if your kit includes the 1-1/4” or 1-1/2” guide comb, you may use
this for a slightly longer cut.) With the teeth at against the head, slowly start
trimming from front to back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the rst
few haircuts.

FADE CUT using a T-Blade
1.Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish
ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut against the grain for the
shortest cut. Don’t force the blade through the hair. Let the trimmer do the
work.
2.Next, cut around the head again and up the nape of the neck to the fade
line, brushing away the cut hair as you go. Pull the scalp taut with the
thumb for the closest cut. Turn the trimmer upside down when necessary
to keep cutting against the grain. Make sure both sides of the head are
even.
3.For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual guide
comb attachments. The smaller the number of the comb, the shorter the
cut. Comb or brush the hair as you cut for an even end result.
4.To complete the fade, blend the hair at the base line by trimming up and
out across the line and against the grain all the way around the head.
Then, repeat all around, turning the trimmer upside down and cutting
downward. The nal objective is to blend the hair so there is no real line,
just a perfect fade from bald to very short hair. You can achieve this by
using the #1 individual comb attachment. Continue combing and cutting
until you achieve the desired effect.
5.To create a part, pick a spot off-centre. Pull the scalp tight and with the
end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the trimmer back and
forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut is
precise.

SPECIAL FEATURES
Your trimmer has been designed with several advanced features to help you
get perfect results every time you trim. Your trimmer may be used to neatly
trim goatees, beards, moustaches, neckline, sideburns around the ears
and eyebrows, or anywhere you may need grooming. It also makes a great
all-around family trimmer for mini haircuts and touch ups between trips to the
barber or to clean up the shape of the neck.
A 6-Position Trimming Guide makes achieving a consistent trim easy every
time.
The guide can be removed (providing a seventh cutting position) and
reattached without changing the pre-set cutting length, so once you have
found the perfect length, there’s no guesswork in achieving it every trim. The
trimming guide is a two-piece assembly, consisting of a base and a comb. It
should not be disassembled. To attach the guide, simply slide it on at a slight
angle and press the release tab down to secure in position.
To remove the guide, gently push up on the release tab and slide the assembly
away from the trimmer. Adjust the trimming length by pressing on the thumb
lever and moving the comb forward or backward to the desired setting.
DETACHABLE BLADE SYSTEM
A Detachable blade system enables you to quickly change from a stand-
ard-width blade for full grooming to a narrow-width blade for detail trimming
around a moustache, goatee, or anywhere to dene the hair line and clip any
stray whiskers.
To remove attachment, simply pull top edge of blade away from body unit.
11
Rechargeable Trimmer
To attach, align back tab of attachment head to cavity on the inner edge of
trimmer unit.
Should blades become damaged or dull or if you want replacement
attachment heads for your trimmer, you can purchase these from
Wahl (UK) Ltd.

TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR FACIAL HAIR
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. You may
nd different procedures work better for you.
1.Comb your beard in the direction that it grows to help reveal stray hairs
that may be longer than the others.
2.Attach the 6-position trimming guide to trim and taper your beard. Begin
with the guide set at a long trimming length. Trim toward your chin in
#59307 #58067-100 #59300-800 #59302#59301 #59303
12
Rechargeable Trimmer
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.
3.To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide.
Starting 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.
4.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.
5.Dene the upper part of your beard using the same technique.
6.For a neater nished look, replace attachment blade with the detail
blade. Use this blade for ne, detail trimming anywhere it is needed,
such as at the sideburns near the ears, goatees, etc.
TRIMMING WITH ATTACHMENT COMBS
Your Trimmer includes three trimming attachments; stubble, medium and
long. The stubble guide has 1 bar, the medium-cut attachment has two
bars and the long-cut attachment has three bars. These attachments are
ideal for blending, tapering and dening beards, as well as for achieving a
“close trim” stubble look around the face. To use the attachments, go with
the hair direction. To achieve closer looks, go against the hair direction.
#1 Stubble Length (2 mm)
#2 Short (4 mm)
#3 Medium Short (6 mm)
#4 Medium (8 mm)
#5 Medium Long (10 mm)
#6 Long (12 mm)

TRIMMING NOSE HAIR USING DETAILER HEAD
Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in
and out of each nostril, no more than 1/4-inch deep.
TRIMMING EAR HAIR
Make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold the
ear at with one hand and carefully insert detailer no more than 1/4-inch
into the outer ear.
WARNING: DO NOT INSERT THE DETAILER OR ANY OTHER
FOREIGN OBJECT INTO THE INNER EAR. FOR HAIR GROWING ON
THE OUTSIDE OF THE EAR, SIMPLY MOVE THE DETAILER SLOWLY
ALONG THE EDGES OF THE EAR.
TRIMMING EYEBROWS
Slowly move detailer to neatly trim stray hairs. For precise, even
trimming, slowly move the detailer closer or farther away from eyebrows
to achieve desired length. Do not press against brow as it may remove
too much hair.
TRIMMING EYEBROWS WITH COMB
Snap on the No. 1 Comb on your trimmer head. Slowly move the
trimmer to neatly trim stray hairs. Do not press hard against brow as it
may remove too much hair. You may also use your trimmer blade with
the #2 or #3 guide comb. Move the trimmer with the direction of the hair
ow (from the bridge of your nose to the temple). Be sure to mind your
eyelashes as you trim.

& BEARDS using trimmer head.
Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and
shape.
TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR using trimmer head.
Simply glide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair length

15
Rechargeable Trimmer
desired hair length is achieved. For tight, scratch-free trimming, use the
#1 guide comb.
FOR THE CLOSEST LOOK
After trimming, attach the shaver head. The shaver makes for the perfect
tool to groom the total body. Using the same technique, as mentioned prior,
you can groom wherever you feel a need. Shave against hair growth while
stretching the skin. After every use, remove the shaver foil by pressing both
side buttons and carefully clean using cleaning brush provided.
TRIMMING PRIVATE AREAS with the trimmer & detailer head.
1.Volume reduction using trimmer head. Attach guide comb and select a
long trimming length. Begin trimming, starting at the top and working
down. Use progressively closer settings to get the “look” and length you
prefer.
2.For hard to reach or tight areas, use the detailer head. Always pull skin
taut. Then slowly move the detailer through area to trim until desired
look is accomplished.
3.Shave in your private areas by gently shaving in the desired area and
always keep the skin taut.
CARE AND CLEANING
OILING BLADES
For best results, put one or two drops of Wahl Clipper Oil on the blades
before and after every use. Motor bearings are permanently lubricated—do
not attempt to oil. When oiling your trimmer, turn the trimmer “ON – I,” hold
the unit with the blades facing DOWN and squeeze one or two drops of oil
onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.
NOTE: DO NOT OVER OIL! Excessive oiling or application of liquids will
cause damage if allowed to seep back into motor.
16
Rechargeable Trimmer
BLADE CARE
Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and lapped cutting teeth.
Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to cut dirty
or abrasive material.
CLEANING/STORAGE
Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk any loose
hairs from the unit and the blades. Store unit in such a manner so that
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.
