WAHL POWERDRIVE CLIPPERS

In order to ensure that you get the life and performance out of your clipper, we recommend regular oiling. To oil properly, the unit should be held in such a way that the blades are in a downward position. With the clipper or trimmer running, dispense 2-3 drops of oil across the top blade (Use Wahl Clipper oil ONLY! Other oils will gum up the blades.) Wipe off excess oil so it does not run into the motor compartment. Oil in the motor compartment will eventually damage the motor. Blades should be oiled after cleaning with Hygienic spray. Clipper should be oiled with each use.

On Clippers with adjustable blades Your Wahl Clipper blades were oiled and aligned before Leaving our factory, however it is possible for the blades to get bumped out of alignment. Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or replacement. To determine if realignment is necessary, compare your clipper blades with this sketch. 1 End of the top blade teeth should be 0.8mm to 1.6mm back from bottom blade. This is important so that the clipper doesn’t cut too close or allow the moving cutter to touch the skin. 2. Extreme left hand tooth or top blade must be covering or be to the left of the first small tooth of bottom blade. 3. Extreme right hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade.

When your blades start to pull the hair the first thing to try is, Apply two drops of clipper oil to the blades and test cut again. (Oil lubricates the blades and allows them to run at the correct speed and ensure better cutting. It also helps the Clipper run cooler. If your clipper blades are still pulling the hair you will need to replace your blades or alternatively have them sharpened.

This means the blades require oiling or your power screw located on the right hand side of the clipper requires adjusting. To adjust this, plug in the clipper and turn it on, then turn the power/voltage screw anti-clockwise until the noise subsides to a standard running noise, then carry on and adjust it a further quarter of a turn. If adjusted correctly this should have resolved the problem. Alternatively please refer to your instruction booklet.

This is quite normal. The motor is electromagnetic and depending on how it catches the flow of electricity, can make a loud noise (similar to a hand clap) when first Switched on, but this does not mean the clipper is faulty or unsafe to use.
