How do I operate the clipper?

To operate, simply slide the switch to the ON position (marked «l»). To stop operation, set it to the OFF position (marked <<0>) position.

What should I do before using the clipper for the first time?

Before using the clipper for the first time, charge continuously for 4 hours. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging and discharging cycles.

How do I charge the clipper?

Make sure the switch on the clipper is in the OFF position. Connect the charging jack into the receptacle on the bottom of the clipper. Plug the adapter into any electrical outlet (at the voltage listed on the label affixed to the adapter). The charging indicator will light up red to indicate that the charging has begun. Charging is complete after 4 hours.

Is it normal for the adapter to become warm while charging?

Yes, the adapter may become warm while charging. This is normal.

How do I preserve the batteries?

To maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries, the clipper should be recharged for 4 hours approximately every 6 months.

What should I do if the charging light starts to flash rapidly?

If the charging light starts to flash rapidly (more than 4 flashes per second) then the appliance is faulty. If this happens then please stop charging and remove the adapter from the mains and contact an authorized Service Center.

How do I operate the clipper using direct plug-in?

Make sure the clipper is off. Connect the charging jack into the receptacle at the end of the clipper and plug the adapter into a power outlet.

How do I maintain the blade?

Always apply oil to the blades before and after use. This will ensure maximum cutting performance and proper maintenance. Hold the clipper away from your body in a downward position and apply a drop of BaBylissPro lubricating oil on the front and sides of the cutter blade. Wipe off excess oil with a soft, dry cloth. Do not pull, twist, or wrap the supply cord around the appliance.

How do I use comb attachments?

To use the comb attachments, turn the clipper to “0” position. Slide the comb attachment onto the top of the clipper blade, and then pull down and over the back of the blade. To remove, pull up on the back of the comb attachment and then pull away from the blade.

How do I replace the blade set?

Step 1. Unplug the unit and adjust the taper (see illustration A). Step 2. Remove the screws and the fixed blade. Save the screws. Step 3. Lift off the small moving blade and replace it with the new one on the plastic oscillator (see illustration B). Step 4. Replace the fixed blade using the screws and lightly tighten them. Adjust the teeth as shown in illustration C, to a gap of 0.8 mm to 1.5 mm, and the small, moving blade as centered and parallel as possible to the fixed blade’s teeth.

What is an important note regarding blade replacement?

The top edge of the fixed blade must be a minimum of 0.8 mm higher than the top edge of the moving blade, as centered as possible. This is important so that the moving blade does not come in contact with the skin. Be sure to add a few drops of BaBylissPro lubricating oil to the blades before running. Don’t forget to tighten the screws after the blades have been aligned.

How do I adjust the taper lever?

The taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust the lever at the same time – while you are clipping. The taper lever adjusts the closeness of the cut from a close cut with the taper lever in the up position, to a longer length cut with the taper lever in the down position. To increase cutting length, slowly push the lever down. To cut closer, push the lever up. As different cutting edges are used in each setting, using the taper lever lengthens the life of the clipper blades. Too much hair can slow down hair clippers. Keep the clipper on for removing hair. Then push the taper lever back and forth quickly for several times. If you do this every time, especially after much hair cutting, the clipper blades should remain free of cut hair. Oil the blades after the above procedures.
