Troubleshooting
Clipper not turning on
Ensure the battery is properly inserted and charged. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position. If using a freshly charged battery, try the second battery pack.
Clipper is pulling hair
The blades may be dull, dirty, or not properly lubricated. Clean the blades thoroughly, lubricate them with clipper oil, and ensure they are properly attached. Check the taper lever setting; a length that is too short for the coat type can cause pulling.
Uneven cutting
Ensure the taper lever is set correctly and consistently. Check for any obstructions or damage to the blade teeth. Make sure the coat is clean and free of tangles before clipping.
Battery not charging
Verify that the charger is plugged in and the battery is correctly seated in the charging station. Ensure the charging contacts on the battery and charger are clean. Try the other battery pack to see if the issue persists with both.
