5USEFUL INFORMATION ABOUT YOUR PRODUCTEssential informationFor maximum efficiency, durability and satisfaction from Wahl clippers and trimmers,please note the following points:-• Regularly apply a few drops of oil to the blades during clipping/trimming. Clipperoil lubricates the blades and will ensure your clippers or trimmers perform totheir maximum capacity. Without oil, friction is increased therefore generatingheat. If blades are getting hot then insufficient oil is being applied or the bladesneed cleaning or sharpening.• Always ensure the animal coat is dry, as clean as possible and brushed toremove tangles, grease and dirt particles from the hair.• During operation, take time to regularly brush hairs and dirt from the blades.• We recommend use of Wahl Hygienic Spray to ensure grease and dirt particlesare flushed from the blade surface. DO NOT use water to clean the blades.• Always oil the blades after cleaning.• Always clean your machine and blades thoroughly when you have finishedclipping. Do not separate the top and bottom blade when cleaning.• If your product has an air filter ensure it is clear of obstructions to avoidoverheating the motor.• Whenever storing your appliance, disconnect all cables and store your clipping/trimming kit in a dry, temperate environment.• Always oil your blades before use and before storage to prevent atmosphericmoisture causing damage to the blade surface.BLADESThe blades are the single most important part of a clipper or trimmer and must bewell maintained at all times for maximum cutting performance.Cutting hair does not blunt the blades. Abrasive particles on the animal’s hair, suchas dirt, sand, grease, etc will blunt the blades.Blades will not cut if abrasive particles are picked up and carried by the oil filmbetween the blades. These particles tend to separate the blades from each otherand pull the hair as opposed to cutting it cleanly. Keeping your blades well oiledperforms the following important functions:-• Provides a low friction, very thin film lubricant between the cutting blades so theblades can take a full cutting stroke without becoming hot from frictional heat.• Flushes abrasive particles and hairs out from between the blades.If you cut into dirt, immediately clean your blades with Wahl Hygienic Spray or WahlClipper Oil to flush out the dirt. ALWAYS apply clipper oil after cleaning with hygienicspray or coolant.
