USER MAINTENANCE
INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADE
Always apply oil to the blades before and
after use. This will ensure maximum cutting
performance and proper maintenance.
Hold the clipper away from your body in
a downward position, and apply a drop of
BabylissPro lubricating oil on the front and
sides of the cutter blade. Wipe off excess oil
with a soft, dry cloth.
Do not pull, twist, or wrap the supply cord
around the appliance.
HOW TO USE COMB ATTACHMENTS
To use the comb attachments, turn the
clipper to “”position. Slide the comb
attachment onto the top of the clipper
blade, and then pull down and over the
back of the blade. To remove, pull up on the
back of the comb attachment and then pull
away from the blade.
REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF
BLADE SET
Step 1. Unplug the unit and adjust the taper
(see illustration A).
Step 2. Remove the screws and the fixed
blade. Save the screws.
Step 3. Lift off the small moving blade and
replace it with the new one on the
plastic oscillator (see illustration B).
Step 4. Replace the fixed blade using the
screws and lightly tighten them.
Adjust the teeth as shown in
C.
Fixed Blade 1/32" to 1/16"
Small
Moving
Blade
illustration C, to a gap of 1/32" (1
mm) to 1/16" (1.5 mm), and the
small, moving blade as centered
and parallel as possible to the fixed
blade’s teeth.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The top edge of the fixed blade must be a
minimum of 1/32" (1 mm) higher than the
top edge of the moving blade, as centered
as possible. This is important so that the
moving blade does not come in contact
with the skin.
Be sure to add a few drops of BabylissPro
lubricating oil to the blades before running.
Don’t forget to tighten the screws after the
blades have been aligned.
BLADE SHARPENING
BabylissPro cutting blades are ground
from the finest quality stainless steel
to extend the cutting performance. As
with any cutting appliance, the cutting
edges become dull from repeated usage.
Increasing blade tension to force the
blade cutting would cause the clipper to
overheat and reduce its motor life. When
the blade is no longer able to cut smoothly,
sharpening is required or replace it with a
new BabylissPro blade set.

Blue/Red LED Charging Indicators
Charging – Blue Flashing Light
(1 flash/4 seconds)
Fully Charged – Blue Light
Error – Red Flashing Light
(more than 4 flashes/second).
1. Before using the clipper for the first
time, charge battery continuously
for 3 hours. Maximum battery
capacity will only be reached after
3 charging and discharging cycles.
2. Plug the charging stand into any
electrical outlet (at the voltage listed
on the label affixed to the charging
stand). The charging indicator will light
up blue and start flashing to indicate
that the charging has begun. Charging
is complete after 3 hours — the light
will go from flashing blue to a solid
blue to indicate charging is complete.
3. The charging stand may become warm
while charging. This is normal.
4. Preserving the batteries: In order to
maintain the optimum capacity of the
rechargeable batteries, the batteries
should be recharged for 3 hours
approximately every 6 months.
5. If the charging light starts to flash
red rapidly (more than 4 flashes per
second), the appliance is faulty. If this
happens, stop charging by removing
plug from the outlet and contact a
Authorized Service Center.
6. To install or remove battery from
clipper, see Battery Removal and
Installation in this manual.
ON/OFF SWITCH
To operate trimmer, simply slide switch to
ON (marked “I”). To stop operation, set to
the OFF (marked “O”) position.
BATTERY REMOVAL
• Battery must be removed from the
appliance before it is recycled.
• The batteries must be recycled in
accordance with the recycling standards
for lithium-ion batteries.
This clipper comes with two lithium-ion
batteries, the lithium-ion batteries should
be removed for safe disposal at the end of
the clipper’s life.
Please take the appliance to a recycling
center, where the internal rechargeable
battery should be removed and recycled
separately.
For more information about recycling of
electrical and battery operated appliance,
please contact your local office or your
household waste disposal service.
VERY IMPORTANT: Blades must be
cleaned and oiled on a regular basis
for proper functioning. Failure to
regularly clean and oil the blades
will void the warranty.

BATTERY (MODEL FXBPC) INDICATORS
Critically Low Battery – Red Flashing Light
Low Battery – Blue Flashing Light
Unit On and Battery Fully Charged – Blue Light
Error – Red Flashing Light
(more than 4 flashes/second)
WARNING – Make sure battery tabs and
slots on the sides of the unit are lined up
before pushing battery all the way in. Do
not force battery in if any resistance is felt.
ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER
The taper lever is positioned at your thumb.
You can hold the clipper in your hand and
adjust the lever at the same time – while
you are clipping.
The taper lever adjusts the closeness of the
cut from a close cut with the taper lever
in the up position, to a longer length cut
with the taper lever in the down position.
To increase cutting length, slowly push
the lever down. To cut closer, push the
lever up. As different cutting edges are
used in each setting, using the taper lever
lengthens the life of the clipper blades.
Too much hair can slow down hair clippers.
Keep the clipper on for removing hair. Then
push the taper lever back and forth quickly
for several times. If you do this every
time, especially after much hair cutting,
the clipper blades should remain free of
cut hair. Oil the blades after the above
procedures.
HAIR POCKET DOOR
The top housing of the B890A clipper has
a removable, magnetic door integrated into
the top housing, allowing for easy access to
and cleaning of critical moving parts.
To remove the magnetic door, place fingers
on the side tabs and pull straight away from
the unit.
To clean internal moving parts, use
compressed air or the included small
cleaning brush to clear out hair from the
housing after the magnetic door has been
removed.
Close Cut
Longer Cut
Once finished with cleaning the moving
parts of the clipper unit, carefully place the
magnetic door back in its proper position.
The magnets should pull the door back into
place.
BATTERY REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION
The B890A clipper features removable and
rechargeable batteries, so you can cut and
style for extended amounts of time with
minimal interruption.
Make sure the clipper switch is in
the OFF position before removing or
installing battery.
To remove the battery, press on the two
tabs toward the bottom of the unit and pull
the battery out of the bottom of the unit.
Then place into charging stand.
To install a new battery, line up the tabs
of the charged battery with the slots on
the sides of the unit and slide up into the
housing, pressing firmly until battery clicks
into place. Taper control
