Aligning your Wahl clippers blades
HOW TO ALIGN YOUR BLADES
If your clipper has a taper lever,
move the taper lever upwards
towards the lid of the clipper so
the blades are in the closed
position i.e. closest cutting length.
The top & bottom blades should
be parallel with the top blade
approximately 0.8mm behind the
bottom blade (do not have the top
blade level with the bottom blade
as this can cause skin pinching or
cutting). See Diagram Below.
The extreme left hand tooth on
the top blade should be
positioned so it is over the gap
between the two left hand teeth of
the lower blade. i.e. the extreme
left gap on the lower blade. See
Diagram Below.
Slowly tighten each screw ensur-
ing you do not alter the alignment
in the process. The best way is to
tighten each screw a little at a
time swapping from one to the
other.
Check your alignment setting with
the blades tightened and the lever
in the closed position to ensure
you do not cause pinching or
cutting of the skin.
