USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS
MAINTENANCE OF 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.
HOW TO USE COMB ATTACHMENTS
To use the comb attachments, turn the clipper to the OFF ("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.
REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET
Step 1. Adjust the taper to the position shown in
illustration A.
Step 2. Remove the screws and the fixed blade.
Save the screws.
Step 3. Lift off the small moving blade and
place the new blade 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
/
" (1.6 mm). The small, moving blade should be as centered and as
1
16
parallel as possible to the fixed blade's teeth.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The top edge of the fixed blade must be a minimum of
the top edge of the moving blade and 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 the clipper. Don't forget to tighten the screws after the blades have been
aligned.
ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER
The taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You
can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust the
lever while you are clipping.
The taper lever adjusts the closeness of the 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. Hair buildup can slow down the clipper. Keep the clipper
on for removing hair. Then push the taper lever back and forth quickly several
times. If you do this every time, especially after cutting a lot of hair, the clipper
blades should remain free of cut hair. Oil the blades after the above procedures.
