Cord Care
The cord should not be used to pull the clipper. Since freedom of movement needs to be maintained, care should be used to keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed.

Facts about Blades & Cutting

1. The blades are the single most important part of this clipper.
2. Blades do not become dulled from cutting hair. They are dulled by the abrasive particles on the hair (dirt, sand, etc).
3. Clipper blades should be oiled before, during, and after clipping: most clipper problems are due to a lack of oil to lubricate and cool.
4. Blades will not cut if abrasive particles are picked up and carried by the oil film between the blades. These particles tend to hold the blades apart and cause chewing and pulling instead of clean cutting.
5. Oiling the blades performs two, distinct functions: 1) provides low friction, very thin film lubricant between the cutting blades so that they can take a full cutting stroke without becoming hot from frictional heat, and 2) flushes away abrasive particles and hairs from between the blades.
   NOTE: If you cut into dirt, immediately wash the blades with oil to flush it out. Working the tapering lever back and forth will assist in removing the dirt particles.

Operating you Wahl Clipper
By following these simple steps, your Wahl quality Pet Clipper will provide years of satisfactory service.

1. Oil - for maximum efficiency, your clipper blades must be oiled with each haircut. Place one or two drops of oil on blades while clipper is running. If clipper is brand new or hasn't been used, your clipper blades are dry. They will require oiling. Use only Wahl Clipper Oil.
2. Blades - Do not try to sharpen the clipper blades. Once they become dull, special equipment is needed to re-sharpen the blades. Also, never wash the blades in water. When the blades do not cut, they may need oiling or re-sharpening. If you determine the blades need re-sharpening, you can return them to Wahl Clipper Corp. for re-sharpening.

Clipper Care and Service

1. To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry, or dampened cloth. Do not use benzene or thinner to clean the unit.
2. Do not store the clipper in a wet or moist environment.
3. Do not touch any of the internal mechanisms. If the unit should need repair, do not repair it yourself.
4. When stored, make sure cord is not nicked, twisted, or obstructed. It should be coiled and the unit placed in a dry place, away from children.
5. Only use the specified electric power source shown on the rating plate.
6. The cutting blades furnished with Wahl Pet Clippers are made of a special high carbon steel scientifically heat-treated for correct hardness. Years of experience have created a special process for grinding these blades to a super sharpness.
7. Be careful not to drop your clipper or to nick the blades.
8. Always replace the blade guard when the clipper is not in use. This helps prevent accidental damage and blade dulling.
9. Periodically dip the teeth of the blade in a shallow pan of Wahl Clipper Oil (with clipper running) to flush out dirt and hair.
10. Run the clipper through the hair only as fast as it is able to completely cut. Operating it too fast wedges hair clippings between the blades and they become unable to cut properly. Do not cut wet hair.
11. Avoid pressing the blades strongly against the skin, being especially careful around the ears.
12. Keep your clipper blades sharp. Clip only clean animals. Foreign particles are the major cause of dull blades.
13. Sharp clipper blades cut better and faster.

Removing and Cleaning Detachable Blades
To remove the blades, hold the clipper firmly in one hand. Using the thumb of your other hand, simply push the blades away from the front of the clipper. The blades and the mounting plate behind them will all come off in one piece.

To remove hair from between the blades, use the cleaning brush provided. Be sure to use Clipper Oil between the blades before each use.

To replace the blades, place the hook at the bottom of the blade set into the space provided on the clipper housing. Then pivot the blade set toward the housing until it snaps into place. Once it is seated, snap blade set to case so that you hear a click.
