### How to Use Your WAHL PROFESSIONAL COMPETITION BLADE SIZE 40

Achieving optimal results with this ultra-sharp blade requires proper technique and care.

1. **Preparation:** Ensure your clipper is clean, charged, and in good working order. The client’s hair should be clean, dry, and thoroughly combed to remove any tangles or debris.
2. **Attaching the Blade:** With the clipper turned off, align the blade’s hinge with the slots on the clipper’s body. Press down firmly until you hear a definitive “click,” indicating the blade is securely locked into place. Always double-check for proper alignment to prevent injury or damage.
3. **Cutting Technique:**
* **Always use with extreme care.** The Size 40 blade is incredibly sharp and can cause nicks or irritation if not handled properly.
* Hold the clipper with a firm but comfortable grip.
* Start with light, consistent pressure, moving against the grain of the hair for the closest cut.
* Use smooth, controlled strokes, following the contours of the head or desired area.
* For skin fades, gradually work your way up from the very bottom of the hairline, blending seamlessly into longer lengths.
* For outlining, use the edge of the blade to create crisp, defined lines.
4. **Regular Cleaning During Use:** As you cut, periodically brush away loose hair from the blade teeth to maintain optimal cutting efficiency and prevent clogging.
5. **Detaching the Blade:** Turn off the clipper. Gently push the blade’s release lever (if applicable) or carefully tilt the blade forward and lift it off the clipper’s hinge.

### Maintenance Tips for Longevity

To ensure your WAHL PROFESSIONAL COMPETITION BLADE SIZE 40 maintains its peak performance and extends its lifespan:

* **Clean After Every Use:** Detach the blade and use a small brush (often included with clippers) to remove all hair particles from between the teeth.
* **Oil Regularly:** Apply 1-2 drops of clipper oil to the teeth of the blade after *every* use and before storage. This lubricates the moving parts, reduces friction, prevents rust, and keeps the blade sharp.
* **Store Properly:** Store the blade in a cool, dry place, ideally in a protective case, to prevent damage and contamination.
* **Replace When Dull:** Even the best blades eventually dull. When you notice pulling, snagging, or a less effective cut, it’s time to replace your blade to ensure client comfort and optimal results.
