Frequently Asked Questions - ER-GC20 PANASONIC

How to adjust the cutting length on the Panasonic ER-GC20 hair clipper?

Use the cutting length adjustment button located on the comb. Press the button and slide the comb until the mark (▲) aligns with the desired length. The cutting length will be slightly longer than the indicated value. For example, for 3 mm, align the mark with 3.

How to clean the clipper under water?

First unplug the power cord from the clipper. Open the sliding maintenance plate until it clicks. Rinse under running water holding the clipper head down. Gently shake 4 to 5 times then wipe dry. Leave to dry with the plate open.

Do I need to oil the clipper?

Yes, it is recommended to apply a few drops of oil to the areas indicated by arrows on the blade before and after each use. This extends the blade life and ensures optimal cutting.

How to replace the blade of the Panasonic ER-GC20?

Turn off the clipper (switch to 0). Unplug the cord. Remove the comb. Place your thumb against the blade and push it outward. Clean the area, then install the new blade by inserting the mounting hook into the slot until it clicks.

Can I use the clipper without the comb?

Yes, without the comb the cutting length is about 0.5 mm. Place the clipper head directly on the scalp for a very short cut.

The clipper does not turn on, what should I do?

Check that the sliding maintenance plate is properly closed: the device will not turn on if it is open. Make sure the AC adapter is plugged in and the plug is fully inserted into the clipper.

Can I groom an animal with this clipper?

No, the device is designed only for human use. The manual specifies not to use the clipper on animals.

What is the spare blade reference?

The replacement blade for the ER-GC20 model is reference WER9605. You can purchase it from your retailer or service center.

How to finish the neck area?

Use a comb with a shorter cutting length than for the rest. For example, if the overall cut is at 12 mm, set the comb to 9 mm for the neck. Gradually lift the tip of the comb by slightly bending your wrist for a faded effect.

Can the AC adapter be used in the bathroom?

No, never use the AC adapter in the bathroom or under the shower. Plug it into a dry power outlet and handle it with dry hands.
