Aligning Clipper Blades

Your Wahl clipper blades were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory. Blades may need to be realigned if they have been bumped or removed for cleaning. To determine if realignment is necessary, compare your clipper blades with this sketch. 1. If your clipper has a taper lever, position the lever in the close cut position. 2. End of top blade teeth should be approximately 1/32-inch (.64 mm) back from bottom blade. 3. Extreme left-hand tooth of top blade must be covering or to the left of the first small tooth of bottom blade. 4. Extreme right-hand tooth of top blade must be touching the big tooth on the bottom blade. If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of Wahl Clipper Oil to the blades, turn clipper “On” for a few moments, turn “OFF” and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws after blades are aligned. Other than blades, this clipper has no user-serviceable parts.
