Overview

This document provides a quick start guide for Wahl clippers and trimmers, covering their function, usage, maintenance, and troubleshooting.

Function Description:

Wahl clippers are designed for home haircutting, offering a range of features to achieve professional-looking results. They are primarily used for cutting hair to various lengths, blending different sections, and detailing. The document also introduces a detail trimmer, which is a rechargeable device used for more precise trimming tasks.

Important Technical Specifications:

  • Clipper Models: The document illustrates two main clipper models: MC3 and MC2/SC2. The MC3 model includes a taper lever, while the MC2/SC2 model may or may not include one (specifically, the SC2 model doesn't).
  • Power Source: Clippers are corded, connecting to an outlet for power.
  • Attachment Guards: Clippers use attachment guards to control hair length. These guards snap onto the blade.
  • Taper Lever: Present on some clipper models (like MC3), the taper lever allows for gradual changes in cut closeness, ranging from closest cut (up position) to longest cut (down position).
  • Detail Trimmer Model: Model 5612 is a rechargeable detail trimmer.
  • Trimmer Charging: Requires plugging into an outlet. The charge light illuminates during charging and remains on until unplugged. A full charge takes at least 10 hours initially. The transformer charger is designed for continuous charging without overcharging. The trimmer can be used corded or cordless.

Usage Features:

  • Haircutting Sections: For optimal results, the head is visualized as divided into four sections: Section 1 (The neckline), Section 2 (Under the rim of the head), Section 3 (The rim or side), and Section 4 (Top of the head).
  • Attachment Guard Use: Guards are aligned onto the blade and pressed down until they snap into place. To remove, lift from underneath the metal attachment clip.
  • Blending: The taper lever allows for blending between different hair lengths by gradually changing the closeness of the cut.
  • First-Time Use: When cutting hair for the first time, it's recommended to start with the largest attachment guard size to become accustomed to the clipper and guard sizes.
  • Hair Condition: Hair should be dry before using the clipper.
  • Cutting Technique: Do not force the clipper through the hair; move at a slow, even speed. Cut against the direction of hair growth.
  • Trimmer Operation: Ensure the trimmer is turned off ("0" position) before plugging it in for charging.

Maintenance Features:

  • Oiling Blades: The clipper blades should be oiled every few haircuts. Three drops of Wahl Clipper Oil should be applied to the front of the blades, and one drop on each side. Only Wahl Clipper Oil should be used; avoid hair oil, grease, kerosene, or solvents.
  • Cleaning Blades: Use the provided cleaning brush to remove hair between the blades. Do not use water to clean the blades. After brushing, add Wahl clipper oil.
  • Adjusting Power Screw (Noise Reduction): If the clipper is too noisy ("clattering"), the power screw can be adjusted. With the clipper "ON," use the end of the cleaning brush or a screwdriver to turn the power screw COUNTER CLOCKWISE until the clatter stops.
  • Adjusting Power Screw (Maximum Power): To set for maximum power, turn the clipper "ON." Turn the power screw CLOCKWISE until a clattering noise is heard, then turn it COUNTER CLOCKWISE until the clattering stops.
  • Trimmer Battery Life: For the longest battery life, avoid recharging the trimmer after each use.

Troubleshooting and Support:

  • Noise Issues: Add oil to blades or adjust the power screw as described above.
  • Defective Product: Contact Wahl via 1-800-767-9245.
  • Customer Service: For questions, contact USA-based customer service representatives at 1.800.767.9245 (M-F 7:30am - 4:30pm CST) or via email at techsupport@wahlclipper.com.
