The Wahl Fade & Line Duo Kit puts two Wahl Professional machines in one listing, each with its own pass in the cut: the clipper takes the bulk and builds the fade, then the trimmer sets the outline. It sits beside our Wahl Cordless Barber Combo, which we also sell on its own page. Each machine is also sold on its own.

In the set

• Wahl cordless Magic Clip Red
• Wahl cordless Detailer Li with the Pro-Set tool, included per the pack

Why this set

A cut in the chair runs in a fixed order, and this set follows it. Each machine keeps to its own pass, so the trimmer's blade is kept for the line and never does the clipper's bulk work. Buying the machines together puts that sequence on one station in one order.

Who it is for

• Barbers cutting fades and tapers who blend with the blade, not only with guards - the clipper pack's captions read Creates seamless blends when hard or soft line fading and Ideal for bulk hair removal
• Barbers who set outlines, line-ups and beard shapes with a wide T-blade and set it to zero-gap themselves - the pack includes the Pro-Set tool for it

Who it is not for

• A skin-smooth head shave or the last pass on a skin fade - that is a foil shaver's job, such as the Wahl Vanish Shaver
• A barber who needs only one of these machines - each is sold on its own

Professional tip

Build the blend with the clipper's blade adjustment lever in small steps rather than one jump, and finish each upward stroke by flicking the clipper out and away from the head, so the blend is laid down in stages.

How to use

1. Before the first client, brush the blades clean and oil them with clipper oil.
2. Adjust the trimmer to zero-gap with the Pro-Set tool if it needs setting. With the machine off, check that the moving blade sits behind the edge of the fixed blade before it touches skin.
3. Clip an attachment guide on the clipper for the length you want, starting longer rather than shorter; take the bulk against the growth, then blend by moving the blade adjustment lever between passes, flicking out at the end of each stroke.
4. Set the outline with the trimmer: stretch the skin and work with light pressure, using the corner of the blade for detail.
5. Switch everything off before you put the machines down.

Care and maintenance

After each client, switch off and brush the hair from the teeth and around the blades with a soft, dry brush, and wipe the housings with a dry cloth. At the end of the day, and whenever a blade starts to drag, put a few drops of clipper oil across the teeth, run it for a few seconds and wipe off the excess. Clean everything dry: never rinse a machine under the tap or put it in liquid.

Precautions for use

Clippers, trimmers and shavers
Applies to: corded and cordless clippers, trimmers, nose and ear trimmers and shavers, and their chargers.

• Read the manual before first use and keep it.
• Use only the supplied charger or adapter and charge as described in the manual, on a dry, heat-resistant surface.
• Do not use with a damaged cord, charger or housing. Leave repairs to an authorised repairer.
• Keep the appliance, battery and charger dry, unless the manual states otherwise. Never use a corded appliance near water.
• Blades are sharp. Switch off before changing a blade or guide comb and keep out of reach of children.
• Oil the blades regularly as described in the manual; a dry blade runs hot and pulls the hair.
• Do not open, pierce, heat or burn the lithium-ion battery.
• At the end of their life, hand in the appliance and the battery as electrical waste, not with household waste.

Always read the label and the instructions of the product itself.
