CORD CARE
The cord should never be used to pull the clipper. 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 placed neatly in a dry place.
ALIGNING 2 HOLE BLADES
Slightly loosen both blade screws at
base of stationary blade,
just enough to be able to shift the
blade. Move blade adjustment lever
to the full forward position. With
the blade screws loosened, the
bottom blade can be aligned with
the top blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16”
(.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of the
bottom blade teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut
too close or allow the moving top blade to touch the skin.
2. After blade is aligned, tighten screws.
3. Turn clipper switch ON and OFF a couple of times, and then
recheck alignment of blades.
ALIGNING 3 HOLE BLADES
Slightly loosen the three blade
screws of the stationary blade,
just enough to be able to shift the
blade. Move blade adjustment lever
to the full forward position. With
the blade screws loosened, the
bottom blade can be aligned with
the top blade.
1. Points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32” to 1/16”
(.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of bottom
blade teeth. This is important so the clipper doesn’t cut too close
or allow the moving top blade to touch the skin.
CLIPPER USE
USING CORD/CORDLESS CLIPPERS
If battery power is low, the power cord can attach directly to the unit
for continued use as a corded unit.
CORDED OPERATION
Attach power cord plug into
clipper first, then to outlet. If
your battery is completely run
down, allow the unit to charge
for 1 minute (switched OFF)
before using as a corded unit.
(Figure 1)
If the cord is left attached to the
clipper when not in use, the
cord will automatically charge
the clipper when left in the
OFF position.
RECHARGING OPTIONS
For units without a recharge
stand, attach power cord plug
into clipper first, then to outlet.
Be sure clipper is switched OFF
when charging. (Figure 1)
For units with a recharge
stand, place clipper in recharge
stand so nameplate faces
forward. (Figure 2) Attach
power cord plug into recharge
stand first, then to outlet.
(Figure 3) (Not all units have a
recharge stand.)
CLIPPER CARE
BLADE CARE AND OILING
In order to ensure that you get the most life and performance out of
the clipper, we recommend oiling daily. To oil it properly, the clipper
should be held so the blades are in a downward position as shown.
Place one drop of Wahl oil in the center of the movable top blade
and one drop of oil on each end of the top blade. Turn clipper switch
ON and run to distribute the oil. When oil is evenly distributed, turn
clipper OFF and wipe off excess oil with a soft cloth. Periodically oil
heel of blade (shown in image) to reduce blade friction.
(USE WAHL OIL ONLY)
WIPE OFF EXCESS OIL so it does not run into the motor compartment.
Oil in the motor compartment will eventually lead to poor motor performance.
Blades should be oiled after using disinfectant or sanitizing solution.
DO NOT DIP OR SOAK the clipper or blades in any type of
cleaning solution, disinfectant or oil. Excess liquid can
deteriorate the unit’s plastic components and seep into the motor
compartment affecting motor life and performance. For proper care,
follow the instructions under Clipper Care.
UNIT CARE
Use a clean cloth (dry or dampened with water).
DO NOT USE bleach, benzene or thinner to clean the unit.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
Before the equipment is used for the first time, it should be charged 2 hours.
For recharging information, refer to Clipper Use Recharging Options.
Recommendation: The batteries should only be recharged when
the performance of the equipment has deteriorated noticeably.
BATTERY OPERATION
Switch ON the unit using the ON/OFF switch and, after use, switch it
OFF again. When the battery is fully charged, the unit can be used for
up to 100 minutes.
(Exception: Cordless Senior run time is up to 80 minutes.)
LED INDICATOR
Solid: LED will be fully lit in use or when the battery has reached
full charge.
Flashing: The battery has approximately 20% charge remaining.
Pulse: While charging, LED will pulse until battery is fully charged.
The LED will change to solid when the battery has a full charge.
TAPER LEVER
Some clippers are equipped with an
adjustable taper lever that changes
the closeness of your cut. When the
lever is in the uppermost position,
the blades will give the closest cut.
Pushing the lever downward gradually
increases the cutting length.

Overview

This document is an operating manual for Cord/Cordless Lithium-Ion Clippers, specifically models 8504L1 and 8591L1. It provides instructions for use, maintenance, and troubleshooting, and is intended for commercial use. The manual covers various clipper models including the Cord/Cordless Designer, Cord/Cordless Magic Clip, Cord/Cordless Senior, and Cord/Cordless Sterling 4.

The primary function of these devices is hair cutting, offering both corded and cordless operation for flexibility. The cordless feature is enabled by a Lithium-Ion battery, providing portability and convenience.

Usage Features:

The clippers can be used in two modes: corded and cordless.

  • Corded Operation: To use the clipper in corded mode, attach the power cord plug into the clipper first, then into an electrical outlet. If the battery is completely depleted, it is recommended to allow the unit to charge for at least one minute (with the clipper switched OFF) before using it as a corded unit. If the cord remains attached to the clipper when not in use, the clipper will automatically charge when left in the OFF position.
  • Cordless Operation (Battery Operation): The clippers are powered by a Lithium-Ion battery. Before initial use, the battery should be charged for two hours. For subsequent recharges, it is recommended to recharge only when the equipment's performance noticeably deteriorates. To operate, switch the unit ON using the ON/OFF switch. After use, switch it OFF again. A fully charged battery provides up to 100 minutes of run time, with the exception of the Cordless Senior model, which offers up to 80 minutes.
  • Recharging Options:
    • For units without a recharge stand: Attach the power cord plug into the clipper first, then into an electrical outlet. Ensure the clipper is switched OFF during charging.
    • For units with a recharge stand: Place the clipper in the recharge stand with the nameplate facing forward. Attach the power cord plug into the recharge stand first, then into the electrical outlet. Note that not all units include a recharge stand.
  • LED Indicator: The clipper features an LED indicator to display battery status:
    • Solid LED: Indicates that the battery is fully charged or the unit is in use.
    • Flashing LED: Indicates approximately 20% battery charge remaining.
    • Pulsing LED: Occurs during charging until the battery is fully charged. Once fully charged, the LED will become solid.
  • Taper Lever: Some clippers are equipped with an adjustable taper lever, which allows for varying the closeness of the cut. When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades provide the closest cut. Pushing the lever downward gradually increases the cutting length.

Maintenance Features:

Proper maintenance is crucial for extending the life and performance of the clipper.

  • Blade Care and Oiling: Daily oiling is recommended. To oil the blades correctly, hold the clipper with the blades facing downward. Apply one drop of Wahl oil in the center of the movable top blade and one drop on each end of the top blade. Turn the clipper switch ON and run it briefly to distribute the oil evenly. After distribution, turn the clipper OFF and wipe off any excess oil with a soft cloth. Periodically oil the heel of the blade to reduce friction. Only Wahl oil should be used.
  • Excess Oil Management: It is important to wipe off excess oil to prevent it from running into the motor compartment, as oil in the motor compartment can lead to poor motor performance. Blades should also be oiled after using any disinfectant or sanitizing solution.
  • Cleaning Restrictions: The clipper and its blades should NOT be dipped or soaked in any type of cleaning solution, disinfectant, or oil. Excess liquid can damage the unit's plastic components and seep into the motor compartment, negatively affecting motor life and performance.
  • Unit Care: To clean the unit, use a clean cloth, either dry or dampened with water. DO NOT use bleach, benzene, or thinner to clean the unit.
  • Cord Care: The power cord should never be used to pull the clipper. It must be kept untwisted and undamaged. When storing the clipper, the cord should be neatly coiled and placed in a dry location.
  • Blade Alignment: Proper blade alignment is essential for safe and effective cutting.
    • Aligning 2-Hole Blades: Slightly loosen both blade screws at the base of the stationary blade, just enough to allow the blade to shift. Move the blade adjustment lever to the full forward position. With the screws loosened, align the bottom blade with the top blade. The points of the top blade teeth should be 1/32" to 1/16" (0.79mm to 1.59mm) back and parallel to the points of the bottom blade teeth. This prevents the clipper from cutting too close or allowing the moving top blade to touch the skin. After alignment, tighten the screws. Turn the clipper switch ON and OFF a few times, then recheck the blade alignment.
    • Aligning 3-Hole Blades: The process is similar to 2-hole blades, but involves slightly loosening three blade screws of the stationary blade. The same guidelines for blade tooth alignment (1/32" to 1/16" back and parallel) apply to ensure safe operation. After alignment, tighten screws, cycle the clipper ON and OFF, and recheck.

Troubleshooting:

The manual provides troubleshooting steps for common issues:

  • No power/charging issues: Check the electrical outlet with a known working appliance, ensure the unit is not connected to a power source that turns off automatically, and verify that the unit and power cord contacts are clean and free of contaminants.
  • Blade movement issues: Confirm that the blade assembly moves freely and is properly mounted.
  • Excessive blade load: If the LED flashes quickly 5 times, it indicates excessive blade load. The unit will lock out and not power on. Switch off the unit, inspect the blade set for foreign objects or debris, clean the unit if necessary, oil the blades, and plug the power cord into the unit to reset the lock-out state. Then, switch the unit on. If the flashing persists after these steps, contact Wahl Service Center. If flashing stops, disconnect the cord to resume cordless operation.
  • For persistent problems, send the unit and recharging transformer to Wahl Clipper Corporation with a note explaining the issue.

Battery Replacement and Disposal:

The unit uses a Lithium-Ion battery. For battery replacement, the entire intact unit must be sent to the Wahl Service Center. Users are explicitly warned NOT to attempt to remove the battery due to risks of explosion, fire, burns, and local disposal regulations. Lithium-Ion batteries should not be crushed, disassembled, heated above 100°C (212°F), or incinerated. For recycling, contact a government recycling agency, waste disposal service, retailer, or visit www.batteryrecycling.com or www.rbrc.org.

The manual also includes important safeguards, warnings, and FCC compliance information for products marked with an FCC approval. It emphasizes that the appliance is for commercial use only.
