Troubleshooting

Clipper won't turn on or has low power.

Ensure the clipper is fully charged. Connect it to the charger for the recommended 120 minutes. If issues persist, check the power outlet and charging cable for damage.

Clipper pulls hair or cuts unevenly.

The blades may need oiling. Apply Wahl Blade Oil to the blades as per maintenance instructions. Also, check if the blades are properly aligned and free of debris. Dull blades might require replacement or professional sharpening.

Battery run time is shorter than expected.

Ensure the clipper is charged for the full 120 minutes. Over time, all rechargeable batteries may show reduced capacity. Avoid completely draining the battery before recharging to prolong its life.

Blade gets hot during use.

Excessive friction from dry blades can cause heat. Apply Wahl Blade Oil generously. If using for extended periods, allow the clipper to cool down periodically. Ensure no hair or debris is obstructing blade movement.

Taper lever is stiff or difficult to adjust.

Clean any hair or debris that might be trapped around the lever mechanism. A small amount of blade oil applied near the pivot points of the lever can also help improve its movement.
