Wahl 8550 Instrucciones De Operación página 2

• The cutting blades furnished with Wahl Animal Clippers are made of a special High Carbon Steel scientifically heat-treated for correct hardness. Years
of experience have created a special process for grinding these blades to a superior sharpness.
• Oiling the blades performs two distinct functions:
1) Provides a low friction, very thin film lubricant between the cutting blades so that they can take a full cutting stroke without becoming hot from friction.
2) Flushes abrasive particles and hair out from between the blades.
NOTE:
If you cut into dirt, immediately wash the blades with oil to flush it out. Periodically dip the teeth in a swallow pan of Wahl Clipper Oil (with clipper
running) to flush out dirt and hair.
FOR RECHARGEABLE CORD/CORDLESS CLIPPERS
1) Before use, the clipper must be fully charged for 24 hours.
2) Once fully charged, the unit may be used without cord.
3) After use, move the switch to the "O - OFF" (CHARGE) position. Reconnect the clipper to the transformer cord and recharge batteries by connecting
the wall plug transformer into any convenient electrical outlet.
FOR DIRECT PLUG-IN OPERATION
1) Should you need to use clipper in corded mode when battery is fully discharged, it is best to charge clipper in "O - OFF" position for several minutes
before use. During use, you may notice a decrease in blade speed. This is perfectly normal. The clipper will still perform adequately in corded mode with
a fully discharged battery.
2) Connect the clipper to the transformer cord, and plug the wall transformer into an electrical outlet.
3) Move the switch to the "1 - ON" position.
4) After use, turn to "O - OFF" position thendisconnect wall transformer from outlet.
REPLACEMENT OF RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

CLIPPER USE AND MAINTENANCE
1
) Once the unit is initially charged, for 24 hours, it will take 12 to 15 hours to charge your clipper with completely discharged batteries.
2) A fully charged clipper will deliver a minimum of 30 minutes of continuous trimming.
3) When clipper is not in use, it should be connected to the transformer to assure maximum power whenever it is used. The transformer is designed to
continuously charge the battery, without overcharging.
4) It is normal for the unit to become somewhat warm during normal use.
5) Avoid pressing the blades strongly against the skin, being especially careful around the ears. (The blades should be directed toward the skin at a right
angle, but without significant pressure.)
6) After cutting hair, clean the blades and oil clipper before storing the unit. Place a small drop of WAHL CLIPPER OIL ONLY on the ends of the blades
while clipper is running.
7) To clean the unit, use either a clean, dry, or dampened cloth.
DO NOT USE
benzine or thinner to clean the unit.
8) Do not store the clipper in a wet or moist environment.
9) To prolong blade life, do not use clipper on hair that is coated with hair spray.
10) Do not touch any of the internal mechanisms. If the unit should need repair, do not repair it yourself. Return the product to an authorized service
center.
11) Keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed. When stored, the cord should be coiled and the unit placed in a dry place, away from children.
12) Use only the power source specified on the rating plate.
13) Be careful not to drop the clipper or to "nick" the blades.
14) Always replace the blade guard when the clipper is not in use.
15) Periodically dip the blade in a shallow pan of Wahl Clipper Oil (with clipper running) to flush out dirt and hair particles.
16) Feed clipper through the hair only as fast as it will cut. Feeding too fast wedges the hair clippings between the blades, keeping them from cutting
properly.
DO NOT CUT WET HAIR.
REMOVING AND CLEANING DETACHABLE BLADES
To remove the blades, hold the clipper firmly in one hand. Using the thumb of your other hand, simply push the
from the front of the clipper. The blades and the mounting plate behind them will all come off in one piece. To
from between the blades, use the cleaning brush
provided. Be sure to use Wahl Clipper Oil between the blades before each use. Before replacing the blades, be
blade moves freely.
To replace the blades, place the hook at the bottom of the blade set into the space provided on the clipper housing. Then pivot the blade settoward the
housing until it snaps into place. Once it is seated, snap blade set to case so that you hear a click.

Assemble your supplies: Clipper, oil, blades, slicker brush, attachment combs and comb, scissors, tear-free shampoo, dryer, rubber bath mat, nail cutters.
Be sure all your equipment is in good working condition and easy to reach. Grooming should be done on a solid table (about 30" high) with a non-slip
surface to give your dog a steady and secure footing. A grooming post to secure the dog would be of considerable aid. Good lighting is essential. The
