OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
RECHARGING
The trimmer cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it
as often as desired. However, periodic recharging of the trimmer,
rather than continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.
Charge when trimmer seems to lose power or run slower. The
charging LED will pulse while charging. LED will remain lit after
charging is complete.
1. This trimmer is conveniently designed for household use. It
should be allowed to charge completely for 60 minutes before
its rst use.
2. Remove the trimmer, recharging transformer and accessories
from the packing material.
3. Connect the transformer to the trimmer. BE SURE TRIMMER
IS IN THE “OFF - 0” POSITION WHEN CHARGING.
4. Plug the recharging transformer into any convenient electrical
outlet at the correct voltage. LED will remain lit after charging
is complete.
5. When trimmer is low in power, it should be connected to the
transformer and plugged into an outlet to assure maximum
power is available when it is next used. This transformer
is designed to completely charge the battery without
overcharging.
Do not use the trimmer while it is charging.
6. The battery will take approximately 60 minutes to charge. The
Lithium Ion Trimmer also has quick charge capability.
7. Insert only recharging transformer plug supplied by the
manufacturer into charger receptacle.

USING GUIDE COMBS
To attach guide combs, hold comb with the teeth up.
Snap guide comb attachment rmly to the bottom of the
trimmer blade.
STUBBLE GUIDE COMBS
TRIMMING WITH GUIDE COMBS
These attachments are ideal for blending, tapering and dening
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.
HAIR & LONGER BEARD GUIDE COMBS
TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps
and trimmer positions. You may nd different
procedures work better for you.
1. Comb your beard in the direction that it
grows to help reveal stray hairs that may be
longer than the others.
2. Attach a guide to trim and taper your beard.

11
AQUA BLADE TRIMMER
Begin with a guide of a long trimming length.
Trim toward your chin in 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.
Change the trimming guides to progressively
shorter lengths until you reach the desired
length of beard. You may wish to trim closer
near the ear and down under the chin,
changing to a longer guide toward the front of the face and
point of your chin.
3. To cut the outline of your beard, remove the trimming guide.
Starting under your chin and working back toward your
jawbone and ears, cut the outer perimeter of your beard
underneath the jawbone. Continue the line all the way up to
the ears and hairline.
4. Accentuate your beard line by using the trimmer in a
downward motion. Start at the line you’ve created and,
working from the chin back toward the ears, trim the area
right under your beard line.
5. Dene the upper part of your beard using the same
technique.
BODY GROOMING
The following are suggested steps and head choices. You may nd
different procedures work better for you.
1. If starting with full growth hair, rst use the trimmer head with
the rounded #1 or #1/2 guide comb to trim hair to a short
length.
2. Remove the guide comb, and go back over areas where a
shorter cut is desired. Use care in sensitive areas to avoid
cuts in loose skin.
3. If a smooth nish is desired, remove the blade, and attach the
all-body shaver (if included). Go over desired areas taking
smooth strokes.

12
AQUA BLADE TRIMMER
TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR
Simply glide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair
length is achieved. The rst time you trim the hair, start by using a
longer guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter
settings if a shorter length is preferred.
TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH
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.
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.
■SOFT-TOUCH GRIP allows you to hold
the trimmer in a comfortable position for
precision trimming.
■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 dene the hair line and clip any stray
whiskers.
To remove attachment, simply
pull top edge of unit. To attach,
align back tab of attachment
head to cavity on the inner edge
of trimmer unit and push down
on top of blade.

■SELF-SHARPENING BLADES are made to maintain their
shape and sharpness for extended periods.
CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
BLADE CARE
After each use, whisk away any loose hairs from the unit and
blades using the cleaning brush. For units with a soft touch grip,
use a damp cloth to wipe down the body of the trimmer, taking care
not to get the blades wet. Store unit in such a manner so that the
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.
Trimmer blades have precision-hardened and ground cutting teeth.
Blades should be handled carefully and never bumped or used to
cut dirty or abrasive material. Clean with the included brush.
Blades can also be rinsed clean.
OILING BLADES
For best results, put one or two drops of WAHL Clipper Oil on the
blades only when necessary, or approximately once a month.
Motor bearings are permanently lubricated—do not attempt to oil.
When oiling your trimmer, turn the trimmer
“ON,” 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.
NOTICE—DO NOT OVER OIL!
Excessive oiling or application of liquids will
cause damage if allowed to seep back into motor.
BLADE 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.
This appliance should be stored in a manner where it is
not subjected to crushing, heating above 100°C (212°F), or
incineration.

TROUBLESHOOTING
• If the trimmer unexpectedly stopped operating try resetting the
device by plugging the trimmer into the charger.
• If your trimmer does not seem to take a charge, check the
following before returning it for repair:
1. Check outlet to make sure it is working by plugging in another
appliance.
2. Make sure the outlet simply is not connected to a light switch
which turns the power at the outlet off when lights are turned
off.
3. Be sure the trimmer is properly connected to the recharging
transformer, all connections are secure and the switch on the
trimmer is turned “OFF - 0.”
4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we
suggest the trimmer be disconnected from the charger anytime
the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead
outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
5. If trimmer does not run and it is completely charged, turn the
unit “ON - I” and pinch or push the blades manually. (Oil may
have dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily
stuck together.)

WARNING: If the transformer is damaged it must be replaced
in order to avoid hazard. This product must only be used with
the transformer supplied. Should a replacement be required,
