head are even.
3 For the top of the head, cut with the grain using the individual guide 
comb attachments. The smaller the number of the comb, the shorter the 
cut. Comb or brush the hair as you cut for an even end result.
4 To complete the fade, blend the hair at the fade line by trimming up 
and out across the line and against the grain all the way around the 
head. Then, repeat all around, turning the trimmer upside down and 
cutting downward. The final objective is to blend the hair so there is 
no real line, just a perfect fade from bald to very short hair. You can 
achieve this by using the #1 individual guide comb attachment. Continue 
combing and cutting until you achieve the desired effect.
5 To create a part, pick a spot off-center. Pull the scalp tight and with the 
end of the blade perpendicular to the head, move the trimmer back and 
forth to cut a line. Comb through it and cut again to make sure the cut 
is precise.
TRIMMING PRIVATE AREAS with the trimmer & 
detailer head.
1. Volume reduction using trimmer head. Attach guide comb and select a 
long trimming length. Begin trimming, starting at the top and working 
down. Use progressively closer settings to get the “look” and length you 
prefer.
2. For hard to reach or tight areas, use the detailer head. Always pull skin 
taut. Then slowly move the detailer through area to trim until desired look 
is accomplished.
3. Shave in your private areas by gently shaving in the desired area and 
always keep the skin taut.
TRIMMING NOSE HAIR using detailer head. 
Make sure the nasal passages are clean. Slowly move the detailer in and 
out of each nostril, no more than 1/4-inch deep. 
TRIMMING EAR HAIR using detailer head. 
Make sure the outer areas of the ears do not contain any wax. Hold the ear 
flat with one hand and carefully insert detailer no more than 1/4-inch into 
the outer ear.  
CAUTION: Do not insert the detailer or any other foreign object into 
the inner ear. For hair growing on the outside of the ear, simply move the 
detailer slowly along the edges of the ear.
TRIMMING EYEBROWS using detailer head. 
Slowly move detailer to neatly trim stray hairs. For precise, even trimming, 
slowly move the detailer closer or farther away from eyebrows to achieve 
desired length. Do not press against brow as it may remove too much hair.
FADE CUT 
using a T-Blade
1 Start at the temple and cut all the way around the head to establish 
the ultimate location of the fade line. Always cut against the grain for the 
shortest cut. Don’t force the blade through the hair. Let the trimmer do 
the work.
2 Next, cut around the head again and up the nape of the neck to the 
fade line, brushing away the cut hair as you go. Pull the scalp taut with 
the thumb for the closest cut. Turn the trimmer upside down when 
necessary to keep cutting against the grain. Make sure both sides of 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.  Define the upper part of your beard 
using the same technique.
6.  For a neater finished look, replace 
attachment blade to the detail blade 
forward. Use this blade for fine, detail 
trimming anywhere it is needed, such 
as at the sideburns near the ears, 
goatees, etc.
DETAILING NECKLINES, SIDEBURNS, MUSTACHES  
& BEARDS using trimmer head. 
Slowly move trimmer downward on desired areas to neatly trim and shape.
TRIMMING ARM & LEG HAIR using trimmer head. 
Simply glide the trimmer over your arm or leg until desired hair length is 
achieved. The first time you trim the hair, start by using a longer setting on 
the guide comb on the trimmer, then use progressively shorter settings if a 
shorter length is preferred.
TRIMMING CHEST & STOMACH using trimmer 
head. 
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.
FOR THE CLOSEST LOOK, after trimming, attach the shaver 
head.  The shaver makes for the perfect tool to groom the total body. Using 
the same technique, as mentioned prior, you 
can groom wherever you feel a need. Shave 
against hair growth while stretching the skin. 
After every use, remove the shaver foil by 
pressing both side buttons and carefully using 
cleaning brush provided.
  Self-sharpening blades are high compression, high-carbon 
steel, made to maintain their shape and sharpness for extended 
periods.
TRIMMING AND EDGING YOUR BEARD
The following are suggested trimming steps and trimmer positions. 
You may find 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 the 6-position trimming guide 
to trim and taper your beard. Begin 
with the guide set at 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 and the 
result may be patchy. 
Adjust the trimming guide to 
progressively shorter settings until you reach the desired length 
of beard. You may wish to set the trimming guide attachment 
to cut closer near the ear and down under the chin, changing 
to a longer setting toward the front of the face and point of your 
chin. When the trimming guide is removed, it will remain at its last 
length setting until you change it.
Always be sure the trimming guide is locked solidly into the 
desired position before you start to 
trim.
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 
CARING FOR YOUR TRIMMER
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 - I,” 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 CARE
Trimmer blades have precision-hardened, ground and lapped 
cutting teeth. Blades should be handled carefully and never 
bumped or used to cut dirty or abrasive material. Never rinse the 
blades with water, or the blades may rust. Clean with the included 
brush.
CLEANING/STORAGE
Before storing your trimmer, use the cleaning brush to whisk 
any loose hairs from the unit and the blades. 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 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.
This appliance should be stored in a 
manner where it is not subjected to 
Crushing, Heating above 100°C (212°F), 
or Incineration.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
When using your electrical appliance, basic 
precautions should always be followed, 
including the following:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS AND SAFEGUARDS 
BEFORE USING THIS TRIMMER.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of death or injury by 
electric shock:
1. Do not reach for an appliance that has 
fallen into water. Unplug immediately from 
the outlet. 
2. Do not use while bathing or in a shower.
3. Do not place or store appliance where it 
can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink. Do 
not place in or drop into water or other 
liquid.
4. Except when charging, always unplug 
this appliance from the electrical outlet 
immediately after using.
5. Always unplug this appliance before 
cleaning. 
6. (Rechargeable unit only.) Unplug the 
charger before using trimmer. 
TROUBLESHOOTING
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.)

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, mustaches, 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 (9854L, 9860L) allows you to hold the 
trimmer in a comfortable position for precision trimming.
An Ergonomic Shape and gripping horizontal bars (9876L) 
for added comfort, designed so you always hold the trimmer in 
a comfortable position for precision trimming. 
The shape also provides optimum trimming 
visibility.
A Rotating Head (9876L). The trimming 
head rotates 360 degrees, providing two 
trimming positions. This allows you to achieve 
the optimum ergonomic relationship between 
the hand, the trimmer and the face. Rotate the 
head to the desired position as follows. With 
the switch in the “OFF - 0”  position, depress 
the lock button and rotate the head clockwise or 
counterclockwise 360  degrees.
 A 6-Position Trimming Guide makes 
achieving a consistent trim easy every time.  
The guide can be removed (providing a 
seventh cutting position) and reattached 
without changing the preset cutting length, 
so once you have found the perfect length, 
there’s no guesswork in achieving it every trim. 
The trimming guide is a two-piece assembly, 
consisting of a base and a comb. It should 
not be disassembled. To attach the guide, 
simply slide it on at a slight angle and press
