The blade is compatible with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/products\/514042-wahl-arco-se-cordless-clipper.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wahls Arco<\/a>, Bravura, Chromado, Creativa, Figura, and Motion Clippers.<\/p>\n<p>Each blade number indicates a different length of cut. The lower the number the longer the cut and the higher the number the closer the cut is to your skin. For reference, a #10 Blade will leave approximately 2 mm of coat and a #3 Blade will leave 13 mm of coat.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Attaching 5-in-1 Blade from Clipper<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Hook the small plastic tab from the bottom of your clipper blade into the clipper and gently snap it into place.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Removing a 5-in-1 Blade from Clipper<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The first step is to set your blade to the #40 which is the shortest cut length. Then, place the blade against the palm of one of your hands and use the thumb from your other hand to pop the blade off by pushing it away from the clipper.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Use Guide Combs with 5-in-1 Blade<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Simply slide the guide comb over the top of the blade. Be sure that your guide comb is secure and covering the entire blade before use. To remove your guide comb, use both of your thumbs and gently push the base of the comb until it detaches from the top of the blade.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WAHL How to Use a Wahl \u20185 in 1\u2019 Blade\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/uYtuoDuIiDg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"how-to-use-wahl-detachable-blade\" class=\"sta-anchor \" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3>How to Use a Wahl Detachable Blade<\/h3>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Description:<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The detachable blades come in a variety of sizes ranging from a #3F to a super surgical #50.

Then turn your clipper on and snap the blade into place. Turning the clipper on before snapping it into place allows the blade to properly align with the drive finger on the clipper. If your blade is really loud and rattling after attached then you didn&#8217;t align it properly and need to repeat the steps above.<\/p>\n<h5><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Removing a Detachable Blade from Clipper<\/span><\/h5>\n<p>Turn to the back side of your clipper and you will notice a blade release button.
