    AVOID HAIRLINE SKIN ABRASIONS

    BLADE POSITIONING
    The bottom blades on all WAHL clippers and trimmers are fixed (they don’t move), the top blade is the moving, or cutting blade.

    IMPROPER ADJUSTING
    When adjusting blades to flush or zero overlap (recommended for advanced users only), it is crucial that the top cutting blade does
    not extend over the bottom fixed blade, this creates an overbite. When this happens, the cutting blade will nip the skin, even if you
    are holding the trimmer in the correct position. An even, flush blade will feel smooth to the touch- an overbite will snag the skin.

    HEAVY HANDED USE


    Keep in mind the shorter and closer the blade teeth are, the quicker the cutting blade receives hair, therefore only a light grip and
    slight tapping pressure is required to cut the hair. Otherwise there is a risk of harming the skin.
