DISPOSAL OF NI-CAD BATTERY

CONTAINS SEALED, RECHARGEABLE NICKEL-CADMIUM

BATTERY.

MUST BE RECYCLED OR DISPOSED OF

PROPERLY.

Depending on use, your battery should last four to

six years before replacement is necessary. When

replacement is necessary, follow these simple steps:

1. First remove the Flex Foil Head while shaver is

in off position. Push the Shaver Head Release

Button on the side of the shaver and lift foil head upward.

Remove cutter bar by holding shaver in one hand, gently press

down on cutter bar to rotate it 90° and gently lift it upward. Be

sure your thumb and first finger are positioned at each end of

cutter bar assembly.

2. Remove the two Spring Clips on the top of the shaver using

a small, flat-blade screwdriver. Place hand over Spring Clips

when removing in order to prevent the clips from springing

away and getting lost. Pull back trimmer housing away from

the shaver.

3. Cut wires on both sides of tab at each end of battery. Remove

battery.

4. The RBRC program provides a convenient alternative to

placing Ni-Cad batteries into the trash or the municipal waste

stream, which is illegal in some areas. For proper disposal, call

1-800-8-BATTERY for a recycling center in your area.

QUICK TIPS & HANDY

REMINDERS

If you are a first-time electric shaver user, or changing from

another brand,

there will be a 2 to 3 week (or less) adjustment

period while your face and beard adapts to the new foil.

2. When you open your package, charge your shaver for 18 hours

before the first shave.

Replace the foil head and

cutter bar

every 6 to 12 months,

depending on how often you shave

and how tough your beard

is.

4. Be sure to clean the shaver, cutter bar and foil after every three

or four shaves.

Use the pop-up long-hair trimmer to snip stray hairs and to mow

down

2 to 3 day growth before shaving with your chosen foil head.

6. Keep using and both your face and beard will adapt to the shaver.

7. During the break-in period of the cutter bar, you may

experience a black

residue left on the face. It is a harmless

combination of whiskers, skin

debris and minute particles

from the cutter bar which will wash off easily. This condition

will quickly disappear with use.

CHARGING OPERATION

• For best performance, charge for 18 hours before the first

shave. This

product has been designed with the charger in the

plug. This construction

allows the shaver to be very powerful, yet

much lighter for easier maneuverability,

and it also keeps the line

voltage safely at the plug and not in the shaver.

• Plug the transformer cord into the shaver. BE SURE SHAVER IS

IN THE “OFF” POSITION (MARKED “O” ON SHAVER) WHEN

CHARGING.

• The shaver cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often

as desired. However, periodic recharging of the shaver, rather

than continuous recharging, will prolong battery life.

CONGRATULATIONS!

You own the Wahl®DynaFlex®

Shaver.

It has a patented high-speed cutting system and

specially angled

Flex-Foil™dual heads . . . for remarkably

close, amazingly fast shaves!

Plus, a concealed full-width

trimmer located on the back of the shaver

pops up and away

from the foil head for clear view shaping of sideburns,

beards and

mustaches. We at Wahl are confident you will find extraordinary

shaving speed, comfort and closeness. Just follow the tips in

this folder.

TIPS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS

If you are using an electric shaver for the first time, your skin will

probably need to condition itself to this new shaving technique.

Start on the easiest part of the face first, usually the smooth portion

of the face below the ear. Shave with a light touch and use your

Wahl Shaver exclusively for three to four weeks, or longer if you

have sensitive skin or if your whiskers grow at different angles in

certain areas. Initially your shaves may not be as close as you

would like, and your skin may become a bit irritated. But if you

stick with it, you will eventually get great shaves.

If you go several days without shaving and your beard gets a bit

long,

use the pop-up trimmer to go over your beard, catching all

the longer hairs and setting up the remaining stubble for the foil to

shave smooth and clean.

If you have been using another type of electric shaver before, there

may also be a period of conditioning prior to receiving maximum

results.

LOUD & PROUD

The Wahl® Bump-Free Shaver uses a very powerful rotary motor

that delivers 10,000 cycles per minute to the cutter head. This

results in a very strong audible hum, but is completely normal to

its opperation.

Don’t settle for a weak shaver!

HYPOALLERGENIC TITANIUM

FOIL

Many African-American men suffer from pseudofolliculitis barbae

also known as razor bumps. There are few solutions to this

problem, but the Wahl® Bump-Free shaver can help by:

• Keeping hair even and short

• Staying as antibacterial as possible

• Reducing allergic reactions through hypoallergenic titanium

foils

IMPORTANT:

Because this foil is capable of shaving very close, use

only a light touch when shaving the neck and other

areas where the skin may be thin and sensitive.

SHAVING PROCEDURES FOR

FAST, CLOSE SHAVES

We suggest that you thoroughly cleanse and completely dry your skin

prior to shaving. For maximum speed and efficiency, hold the shaver

so that both screens are in contact with the skin. When shaving the

upper lip or neck, hold shaver so that the uppermost screen is in

contact with skin.

Shave both with and against the grain of the beard, and stretch the

skin taut in the path of the shaver. Guide the dual foil heads gently

back and forth, primarily against the grain of the beard. Do not press

screen heads hard against face. Heavy scrubbing action with the

shaver could damage the foil and will not result in a closer shave.

As a general rule, we recommend replacing the Flex Foil Head every

six months for maximum results. The foil is micro-thin with precise,

raised inner cutting edges around the whisker holes. These raised

cutting edges will wear with use, which will be indicated if your shaver

slows down and the blades seem to get warm. Always replace the Foil

Guard to protect the delicate dual foil heads when shaver is off. To

ensure continued shaving satisfaction, you should replace the foils and

cutter bar periodically.

SHAVING HEAVY

BEARD GROWTH

Begin shaving in a less dense area of the

beard. Move the shaver in a circular motion on

a small area of the face (this picks up the hairs

that grow in all directions). When you see

that this small area is shaved clean, gradually

move into a new area while still using the

circular motion. Continue this motion, one small section at a time, until

entire face is shaved.

If your beard has more than 24-36 hours of growth, use the pop-up

Long-Hair Trimmer to cut the beard down to about a one-day growth

before using the shaver foil.

LONG-HAIR TRIMMER

OPERATION

Your shaver features a special Long-Hair

Trimmer located on the back of the shaver

which telescopes up and away from the Flex

Foil Head for precise and easy trimming of

sideburns, beards or mustaches, and for

removing long hairs from the neck. And, as

mentioned earlier, it can be used to “knock

down” heavy beard growth prior to shaving

with the foil.

To use, remove Foil Guard and simply push the Long-Hair Trimmer

Switch in an upward motion until trimmer slides (clicks) into position.

Push On/Off Switch to “ON” position (marked “l” on shaver). Then

begin trimming/styling.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

of Patented DynaFlex Cutters (EPO. Pat. No. 486.903) and Flex Foil

Heads

For maximum performance,

we recommend you clean your

shaver after every few shaves. Any

servicing, other than replacement

of Flex Foil Head and Cutter Bar

Assembly, should be performed by

an authorized Wahl Shaver Service

Center or Wahl Clipper Corporation

(see Warranty for mailing address

information).

To clean, turn shaver “OFF” and

remove the Flex Foil Head by

pushing the Shaver Head Release

Button on the side of the shaver

and lifting the foil head upward.

Lightly tap the open side of the Flex Foil

Head on a hard surface to remove the

majority of loose stubble particles. Be

careful not to tap foil.

TO REMOVE CUTTER BAR

Turn shaver off. Remove the foil head and, holding the shaver in

one hand, gently press down on the cutter bar to rotate it 90° (1/4

turn) and gently lift it upward.

Be sure your thumb and first finger

are positioned at each end of the Cutter Bar

Assembly. Use the cleaning brush provided

to remove whiskers between the cutting

blades. Brush carefully, so as not to break

the cutter bars apart. NOTE: If you do not

hold the Cutter Bar Assembly as shown,

brushing the blades could result in damage

to the assembly.

When the Flex Foil Head and Cutter Bar

Assembly are removed from the shaver, an

alternate cleaning method is to rinse them

under running water. Simply let them air dry.

After cleaning, replace the Cutter Bar

Assembly by pressing it down gently

and rotating 90° (1/4 turn) to lock into

place. Carefully replace the Flex Foil Head,

snapping it into place.

From time to time, depending on the density of

your beard, you will need to replace the cutters

and foils. If you notice that it is taking you longer

to shave, or if your face starts to feel some

irritation, or if the foil seems to become warm

to the touch, it is probably time to replace the

cutters and foils. Replace the cutters and foils

only with WAHL parts.
