How do I align my blades?

On clippers with adjustable blades, your Wahl clipper's blades have been lubricated and aligned before leaving our factory; however, it is possible for the blades to become misaligned. The blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or replacement. To determine if realignment is necessary, compare your clipper's blades to this diagram. 1- The tips of the teeth on the upper blade should be between 8 mm and 1.6 mm behind the lower blade. This is important to prevent the clipper from cutting too close or allowing the moving blade to touch the skin. 2- The far left tooth on the upper blade should cover or be to the left of the first small tooth on the lower blade. 3- The far right tooth on the upper blade should touch the large tooth on the lower blade.
