My trimmer seems to pull my hair rather than cut it - Does this mean I need new blades?
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.

Yes. Spares and accessories are available to purchase from our web site.

or two drops of oil onto the blades. Wipe off excess oil with a soft cloth.

I have only had my cordless trimmer for a few months and it won't work anymore,
or it only works for a few minutes before it stops, is there a problem with my unit?
On any cordless rechargeable product, you must use the unit frequently to keep it operating properly.
As stated in the instruction booklet, you should run the trimmer's battery completely dead at least
once a month, otherwise, if you only use the unit two minutes every day eventually it will work for only
two minutes between charges. Thus, to prolong the life of your unit, you should completely discharge
the battery at least once a month.

What are the differences between the Professional, Consumer and Animal
clippers?
Professional products are primarily designed for use in professional environments such as
Hairdressers, Barber Shops and Pet Grooming parlours and are built to withstand daily use.
Consumer products are primarily designed for occasional use in the home
Animal clippers and trimmers are very similar to consumer products the main difference
between a human and animal appliances is the type of blade and the motor used. Usually
with animal appliances the blades are coarser and more durable designed to cope better with
different types of animal’s coats.
When I go to clip with my mains powered clipper it produces a loud noise?
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.
When I switch on my mains clipper it makes a loud thud is this normal?
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.
How do I align my blades?
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 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
