11. With the lever arm in the shortest position (upright) set the blade gap of the upper blade to your
preference, taking care that it does not overhang the lower blade, as this can cause damage to skin
(the blades are gapped at 1/32" from the factory) (Figure O).
12. Reattach the two blade screws, once again confirming that the upper blade does not travel over the
lower blade while the lever arm is in the shortest position (upright) (Figures N & O).
USE GUIDELINES FOR LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES
1. The lithium-ion battery included with your clipper does not develop a "memory effect" like a nickel-
metal hydride (NiMH), or nickel cadmium (NiCd) battery. You can return the clipper to the charger at
any time for a full charge, or even use the battery before a charge cycle is complete. Like most
rechargeable batteries, lithium-ion batteries perform best when used frequently.
2. For maximum battery life, store the clipper in a partially discharged condition if the unit will be unused
for several months. To discharge the battery, run the clipper under normal conditions. Battery should
be recharged again before re-use.
3. Avoid locating the clipper near heat vents, radiators, or in direct sunlight. Optimum charging will result
where the temperature is stable. Sudden increases in temperature can result in the battery receiving
less than a full charge.
4. Many factors influence lithium-ion battery life. A battery that has received heavy use or is more than a
year old may not give the same run-time performance as a new battery pack.
5. New lithium-ion batteries, unused for a period of time, may not accept a full charge. This is normal and
does not indicate a problem with the battery or charger. The battery will accept a full charge after
several cycles of clipper use and recharging.
6. Disconnect the charger or the clipper from the AC outlet if extended periods of non-use are
anticipated.
