Frequently Asked Questions - 9891 WAHL

How do I clean my Wahl 9891 beard trimmer?

Clean your trimmer after each use by brushing off excess hair from the blades. Once a month, remove the blades using a screwdriver, clean the sponge and any trapped hair, then reattach the blades. Always oil the blades after cleaning.

How often should I oil the blades?

Oil the blades after each cleaning. For regular maintenance, a monthly deep cleaning and oiling is recommended. However, if you use the trimmer frequently, oiling every few uses can help maintain performance.

Which oil should I use?

Only use Wahl Clipper Oil as it is specifically designed to extend blade life and prevent overheating. Other oils may damage the blades.

How do I align the blades?

Move the taper lever to the closed position (towards the lid). Ensure the top blade is approximately 0.8mm behind the bottom blade. The extreme left tooth of the top blade should be over the gap between the two left teeth of the lower blade. Tighten screws gradually, alternating between them.

How do I remove the blades for cleaning?

Use a screwdriver to undo the blade screws, then remove the blades. Clean the sponge and any hair caught in the clipper. Reverse the process to reattach the blades.

What is the taper lever for?

The taper lever adjusts the cutting length, allowing you to fine-tune the closeness of the cut, especially useful for fading and blending without needing to change guide combs.

What guide combs are included?

From the color key in the manual, included guide comb lengths are: 3, 6, 8, 13, 15, 16, and 25 mm. These allow for a variety of cutting lengths.

Is the Wahl 9891 cordless?

Yes, it operates on a rechargeable battery for cordless convenience, allowing you to use it without being plugged in.

How do I adjust the cutting length?

You can adjust the cutting length in two ways: use the taper lever for fine adjustments between close lengths, or attach one of the guide combs for longer, consistent lengths. The guide combs range from 3 mm to 25 mm.

What should I do if the blades pinch or cut my skin?

If you experience pinching or cutting, check the blade alignment. Ensure the top blade is 0.8 mm behind the bottom blade and the left tooth is aligned with the gap. Also ensure the taper lever is in the closed position when checking alignment. If problem persists, contact Wahl support.

HOW TO ALIGN YOUR BLADES

If your clipper has a taper lever, move the taper lever upwards towards the lid of the clipper so the blades are in the closed position i.e. closest cutting length.

The top & bottom blades should be parallel with the top blade approximately 0.8mm behind the bottom blade (do not have the top blade level with the bottom blade as this can cause skin pinching or cutting). See Diagram Below.

The extreme left hand tooth on the top blade should be positioned so it is over the gap between the two left hand teeth of the lower blade. i.e. the extreme left gap on the lower blade. See Diagram Below.

Slowly tighten each screw ensuring you do not alter the alignment in the process. The best way is to tighten each screw a little at a time swapping from one to the other.

Check your alignment setting with the blades tightened and the lever in the closed position to ensure you do not cause pinching or cutting of the skin.
