Recharging Your NiMH Trimmer (Models 9854-800 and 9854-800X)

#### TROUBLESHOOTING FOR BOTH MODELS

If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair:

#### BATTERY REMOVAL AND DISPOSAL

Under normal use, the rechargeable battery in your trimmer will last from three to five years. If a replacement battery should be necessary. Do not attempt to replace the battery yourself. (See page 17 for details)

CUTTING HAIR

The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount until you become accustomed 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.

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 first 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 flat against the head, slowly start trimming from front to back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the first few haircuts.

#### FADE CUT using a T-Blade

#### 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 standard-width blade for full grooming to a narrow-width blade for detail trimming around a moustache, goatee, or anywhere to define the hair line and clip any stray whiskers.

To remove attachment, simply pull top edge of blade away from body unit.

To attach, align back tab of attachment head to cavity on the inner edge of trimmer unit.

#### TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR FACIAL HAIR

The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. You may find different procedures work better for you.

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.

| | |---|

###### 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 defining 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 2 3| |---|

###### 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 flat 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 flow (from the bridge of your nose to the temple). Be sure to mind your eyelashes as you trim.

FADE CUT using T-Blade 1.Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish the 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.

5.To create a part, pick a spot off-center. 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.

###### DETAILING NECKLINES, SIDEBURNS, MOUSTACHES & 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 is achieved. The first time you trim the hair, start by using a longer setting on the guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter settings if a shorter length is preferred.

TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH using trimmer head. Glide the trimmer over your torso region, in an upward motion until

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.

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.| |---|

###### 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.
