HOW TO SET YOUR WAHL CLIPPER BLADES

[@e_craftingincolorado]

I wish I would have seen this before running to the pet store to get new replacement blades which didn’t fit. After I saw this video I realized that the old blades were installed wrong and they worked like a charm. This was the best tutorial and I appreciate you taking time to share your knowledge.

[@AAE-cg1il]

This was the clearest explanation and visual for blade alignment video I have found. Thank you. It helped a great deal……

[@georgeb2085]

BEST VIDEO!!! I've watched plenty of these tutorials just to compare, and your video is the BEST in close up photography and clearly explaining the correct WAHL recommended alignment procedure. Well done brother.

[@TheHumbleKay]

God bless you bro. Just got it. Shaved, bathed and now in Church. This is my 1st time resetting the blades of my clipper myself. And the problem was that the lever didn’t lap well with the new blades grove. So I trimed the lever a bit. Made it ever all the way, then when i screwd it tight it didn't lap. Then i loosed it and made it sit on the lever and carefully placed the blades and screwed gently to hold and reposition the little blades untill they lapped as you showed us the teeths should lapped then tightened and started it and the blades didn't fall off this time as did after the vendors set it themselves. But then it made a loud noise then i screwed the voltage screw up n down till the sound was gentle n smooth. Then shaved the hair on my hand to make sure its working ir did. Then shaved myself neat and jumped in n out the bathroom n out to Church. Just singing the Entrance him now b4 the Priest comes in. Took me about 45mins to sort it. Got it on the 3rd time. Almost gave up cos was running late to Church. Thanks to you i look good on my bday.

Had my clippers for years then they stopped working, took them apart and cleaned them, put them back together now working and cutting smoother than brand new, nice one 👊

[@llow8146]

Great, clear instructions. They were not alligned and now they trim hair, not rip it out like before. The voltage tension section was really helpful. Thank you

[@mattskag2]

I have a special needs son and hair cuts are a chore, my clippers got loud and were scaring my son. The tip on changing the voltage is a life saver, I was about to replace my clippers. Thank you.

[@jt2475]

If u need a super quiet clipper that cuts soft for your son I’d recommend the jrl onyx

[@NekaW_]

Thank you! I thought I messed up my clippers but you’ve saved me 85 bucks 😂 returning the new ones I bought and they haven’t even arrived yet.

[@descantinginsalubrious]

This should be the official WAHL tutorial. I appreciate the thoroughness and detail.

[@irwinjimenez]

By far, BEST WAHL tune-up video I've seen. Thanks.

[@CassandraCain-l9j]

This is theeeee best video I've ever seen to align my clipper blades. I was ready to just call off work today (j/k) because I couldn't get my new blade on. I've been using Wahls for well over 10 years and have always struggled to change the blade. Thank you so much for this video!!

[@primeola7971]

I am glad I came across this video. Now I can try to set my blades properly

[@rosemcknight3256]

Best video I've seen yet, and it's all close up to see how the teeth, should line up awesome job Thank You sooooo much!!! ✌️

[@john-g3g3m]

adjusting the voltage screw part was great. I was about to throw away my clippers out of sheer frustration. Thanks

[@mitchlarsson259]

Bro that was awesome. I'd chucked my filter thinking it was a stack of hair so bonus points for preventing that fuck up. Cheers!

[@seansoles1679]

Yo definitely appreciate you taking the time to make this video for all the simple people like myself out there going to work with half their damn head shaved!! Well done bro! 🤙

[@wwhb4780]

Thank you! First, you helped me to become familiar with my new Wahl (battery type, made in Vietnam, no adjustments here, but mechanics similar), then I decided to check my ages-old SF-938 haircut machine, too, which has the same parts but much bigger (45mm, to be plugged into the mains only), get out approx. a pound of hair stubbles from the inside and do maintenance and adjustment after reassembly according to your instructions, too. It is amazing how silent that one has become now 😅.

[@mcdonaldnweze]

Thanks a lot. After doing mine, i was having doubts (never been taught or seen someone do it before). Glad I'm on track

[@bwooderp]

Soo helpful, thank you so much, and even with the bonus info at the end about tuning! I've thrown away clippers for making that grinding noise before... now I know why that was happening! Thanks!

[@Jinka1950]

You are fabulous!! Love the instructions ... and your voice tone... fantastic....! Thank you for the help....

[@Rabbit-the-One]

Tooth alignment is what I came to KZbin for. Thanks man.

[@frederickcraft1772]

I bought new wahl clippers and they were pulling my hair and not cutting even after I oiled them and I watched your video and turned up the voltage.I'm good now.thanks

[@Yvng165]

Should the small blade be able to move at all if you push it a lil cuz i screwed it in enough and it moves

[@Siberius-]

Oh that's a good tip with slightly tightening each screw in an alternating fashion. I kept moving the damn blade when trying to tighten it down. Very nice video.

[@panoramicview698]

Very well explained - measured and clear 👏👏👏

[@meryhice767]

Just what I was looking for, clear instructions. Thanks 👋👍👍👍👍

[@clwashington35]

Had to come back to the video , got to remember the basics sometimes!!

[@bryangipe1]

I had all the information except the side screw voltage adjustment. I was trying to find the sweet spot for the stationary blade screw tightness since when I tightened it completely the cutting blade would not move. I could cut a bit then the screws would loosen to much and cause issues. This was perfect now I can keep a nicely manicured beard and mustache. Thank You!

[@wangchung_8541]

Legend bro. I just bought a used clipper set the same as you have in this video. I’ve sharpened the blades and followed your tutorial and they are running excellent. Thanks for the upload bro 👍

[@TheHumbleKay]

Thanks a lot brother for this well explainatory clear visual tutorial. So so helpful. Will go practice it now. They fixed it for me where I bought the blades but coming back home to use it turning it on the inner blades kept shifting. So watching this video whilst eating, now i have courage to DIM. Thanks again bro. It's my bday today "Sunday". Not had time all week to go to the barbers n still don’t even have time today "my bday" as it is the deadline for some assignments i have to submit" but i still want to look good on my day. Thanks again. Will let you know when it works. Cheers. Just about to take a shower n head to Church.

[@ianwillmott24]

Thanks, I've always thought I'd kept my clipper in tiptop condition, but I never aligned the blade's right way! Now i knows, thank u very much indeed!!! 🤟👍❤️🤟

[@sunriseboy4837]

Thank you. I found Lanoline spray lube completely changed the way mine work. Just brilliant.

[@curiosityprysm]

excellent video , thanks for the skoolin' , be well

[@usmanjimoh4099]

Very straight forward and an outstanding tutoring. Keep it up...

[@MyGreenNest]

Great video, I finally understand what to do with my clippers!

[@ShapeUpBarber]

Most welcome. 🙂

[@vadoaviveredasolo]

i love this video. I have the Moser 1400 and the power screw seems to work in the opposite way: clockwise the noise calms down (the screw goes in) and anticlockwise the noise becomes higher (and the screw comes out). However, your model is really silent, while mine only change from noisy to extremely noisy, there is not the clear separation from "silent" and "oh, it starts screaming now"

[@tactrix1h]

Thank you, I was wondering how to properly tune it, this did it.

[@eeiko321]

Thanks for this tutorial, it’s a truely really informative. (The positioning between the 1st and last tooth) just one question, how do you measure the 0.8mm? The reason I ask is that I have a wahl magic and I recently adjusted/zero gapped it, and I’m not sure if it’s made things better for me, I feel that it may have made things abit harder to see (too close) on a fade (when setting a no guard open guideline & #1 guard open guideline) I’m thinking of changing it back to the factory setting, hence watching this video.

[@jeffreyjflim]

I'm not sure this is the way... kzbin.info/www/bejne/nWm8poZngNCUaK8#t=44: "The extreme left-hand tooth on the top blade should be positioned so it is over the gap between the 2 left-hand teeth of the lower blade".

[@WakkyRebornTV]

Tysm man😭🙏 I went to clean my clippers and uninstalled the blades and went to put it together… turns out I installed it inverted so the blades kept rubbing against each other making a loud noise😂 again thank you I realized mid way my mistake

[@JCorLC]

Thanks bro, for years I've been wanting to know how to tune my machines.

This is the best tutorial 10/10

[@32cachez28]

Legit, thanks broh, its very helpful keep up ✨👌🏻🥰

[@crayonjambe7515]

My question is about the left/right alignment of the bottom blade. The top blade moves left and right, and each time you switch on the clippers then switch it off, the top blade doesn't stop in the same position every time. So when aligning the bottom blade, how do you account for this? What position of the top blade do you go off to set the bottom blade? Thanks

[@santinoevans7225]

Thank bro. Very educational and clear instructions.

[@trevorzealley729]

Wow that was a useful video , thanks for posting it .

Ace ! Usually ask mates whi been in prison and done the barber certificate but its rapid now thank you. I didn't have oil so used one cal cooking oil spray worked a treat. No filter I'm my limited edition was 100 quid. ? 4 mins is bang on 15 mins some other videos keep dropping knowledge dude. 😁👊✌🙏

[@frankcampo6636]

Excellent video!!

[@randomtube8226]

I definitely broke mine. Have to buy a new set now 😢

[@auged5946]

Great video! But I have a problem. My clippers made a loud sound before. I re adjusted the blades and it stopped without adjusting the power screw. It started again and I tried readjusting the blades and power screw again. Blades are aligned. But the sound is very loud and even after power screw adjustment. What do I do now?

[@heythere6983]

If the cutting blade can’t sit straight but sits crooked because of the plastic piece that goes in the center of it, then it’s a manufacturing defect right? The top blade on mine can’t be angled enough to compensate for the crooked sitting bottom blade. It stays crooked since the cutting blade is held in place crooked to begin with

[@nihiljo]

Mine doesn't sit too , I think the who sharpened my blades changed it

[@Lin_Z1989]

Mine's doing that now and now the dam things don't move correctly since I've cleaned the hair out of them and put the blades back on. Lol it's like the hair was keeping it together 😭

[@Kaycii.Austine]

My little son threw my on the floor and cutting blade shifted off it position and when I try looking into it, it fell off. Loosing the blades I noticed the foamy is torn and the white rubber/plastic have receded inside that the cutting blade can't latch on it. What do I do to fix it and align the blades again?

[@bertkennedy1394]

Thanks a million

[@sagzy8383]

How do you tune them up if they are too far up not levelling up

[@zakkazi9936]

Great. Thank you.

[@forlatagate1]

Turns out that I've been zero gapping for years without knowing , thought clippers were not set right out the box as standard and by common sense, thought we all had to adjust them ourselves 😂, so I did,

[@StefanBalas-p1u]

Ty You helped me soo much

Damn i did it n now it cuts smooth doesn't cut my skin 👏

With mine it seems that the white thing is crooked and won’t cut its tuned food and zero gaped ever since I tuned it , it Went that . Any tips my bro ? 🤙???

[@dannygriffith9841]

What do you do if you lose or misplace your filter for your Wahl ? Can you get a replacement ? Where at ?

[@Kevin-bn2fz]

Thank you for the cleaning and alignment advice. Does anyone know how to get a replacement for a damaged foam hair filter? Is that really necessary or is it OK to operate the device without one?

[@wangchung_8541]

You can make your own replacement foam filter from a piece of similar material. I wouldn’t recommend running the clippers without a filter as hair can enter the motor

[@gt-c-]

What was that soft felt hairy piece you removed from between the blades (0:30)? I do not have that on my unit.

[@slowswimmer9169]

it's a filter preventing the hairs go to the motor, my old wahl had it but my new doesn't

[@gt-c-]

@@slowswimmer9169 you think we should improvise something if we do not have it in the new ones?

[@slowswimmer9169]

@@gt-c- I really don't know what can we use, some using a piece of sponge as I've read

[@threshingfloor8591]

Excellent.

[@mattwaters6987]

Thanks for this information. Hopefully my trimmer won't rip my hair out like last time! 😂

[@amt20111]

Thank you!

[@calincristea2935]

Excellent clip, except that you are not adjusting the "voltage" with the side cross-headed screw, just the tesion in a spring, which changes the off position of the moving blade and how far it moves. I hope it helps

[@chidichidi9841]

Good settings

First tooth of stationary blade doesnt lie on second of moving one yet it cuts alright. But how to trim without scratching on beards skin?

When the screw holes are aligned with each other ...that they will fit only where they can .....whats the need to align the toothbaldes......could you explain..
