5.2 Zero-Gap Adjustment (Advanced Users)
The G Whiz trimmer can be adjusted for a zero-gap cut, providing an extremely close trim. This adjustment should only be performed by experienced users as improper adjustment can lead to skin irritation or cuts.
- Zorg ervoor dat de trimmer uit staat.
- Carefully loosen the two screws on the blade set.
- Adjust the top blade (cutter) slightly back so that it is flush with the bottom blade (comb), ensuring the cutting edge does not extend past the comb.
- Draai de schroeven stevig vast.
- Test the adjustment on a small area of skin before full use.
6. Onderhoud
Regelmatig onderhoud zorgt voor optimale prestaties en verlengt de levensduur van uw trimmer.
6.1 De messen reinigen
- Schakel de trimmer na elk gebruik uit.
- Gebruik het meegeleverde reinigingsborsteltje om losse haartjes van de mesjes te verwijderen.
- For a more thorough cleaning, you may carefully remove the blade set (refer to manufacturer guidelines for blade removal specific to model 8986) and brush away any trapped hairs.
- Do not rinse the entire trimmer under water unless explicitly stated as waterproof.
6.2 De messen oliën
Oiling the blades regularly is crucial to reduce friction, prevent rusting, and maintain cutting efficiency. Wahl's high-carbon blades can rust if not properly maintained.
- Ensure the trimmer is clean and switched off.
- Apply one drop of Wahl blade oil to each corner of the top blade and one drop to the foot of the blade.
- Turn the trimmer on for a few seconds to allow the oil to distribute evenly across the blades.
- Veeg overtollige olie af met een zachte doek.
