Does the adjustable guide work well? I have an older Wahl trimmer with adjustable guide that seems to slip (ie change lengths) during use.

to be honest, I do not use the different length guards, I use this trimmer free hand to blend, the Oster classic 76 is the one I use and the blades are great and easy to exchange while cutting

It doesn't come with an adjustable guide comb. That attachment has to be purchased separately. I don't have that attachment, so I can't speak to it's effectiveness.

You can. The problem is, there's a pretty good degree of length between the lowest setting, and using the trimmer without the guide. Would be great if there was one more setting between. But it slides right off. Hope that was helpful.

Me, too! I had very little trouble adjusting, though I was also nervous to switch,but it is much better for the environment. There are many videos on YouTube but just make sure you use a slick, glycerin soap, keep the area wet and soapy, and keep a light touch, letting the razor's weight do the work. Be extracareful around bones and curves. Find your favorite blade by trying sample packs available online. Good luck! You can do this!

According to a YouTube video if your Wahl Trimmer has three screws securing the top it should fit. The screws will be on top of the clipper. I found the video at www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jt0msQPhho4.

Hi,The guide should tighten up, so the blade tracks. My guide goes up and down, and I can adjust it at what ever height I want. Regards, Bill

I bought mine 2 years back, it has an aluminum cap. I had to clean off the extra paint where it contacts the blade near the mouth, so it would not slip around. It made the lateral adjustment stay in place. It is not a weak point in my use, it does cut clean. My issue was the lateral adjuster free play to make small fine shavings. I hope that helps.

The literature says that it will work with straight shaft trimmers. One other reviewer commented that if you use a trimmer for more than 30 minutes each time, then the harness is worth it. I usually use it for an hour each time and it helps (Stihl 95R) but there are some trade offs. It does limit the reach area and how you stand on hills, trimming uphill is better.

The string advance on my model works well; I've had no problems. I found the Husqvarna Trimmers videos on Youtube very useful and informative. Another good source of help is Husqvarna Customer Service. The phone number is listed on their website.

If you're asking if you can adjust the length of the trim, yes. This trimmer comes with 8 length guides ranging from 1/8" to 1" in increments of 1/8". (Metric, they range from 3.1mm to 25mm in increments of 3.1mm.)

I have trimmed mine slightly, seems to work better for me. I have yet to try without trimming.

I have had this trimmer for 3mos now and have not experienced any problems. Usually these are made where the cap is reverse threaded to the direction of the trimmer so that the cap will tighten when bumped as opposed to being loosened. I'll have to look are mine now. Good luck

Mine does the same. I don't think it is an error, just a change since the trimmer continues to work.

I was in Europe, using a converter I bought from Brookstone, and fried my last Wahl trimmer. It was an expensive mistake. I recommend using a local Barber.

I haven't had any problems with the slide. It's smooth for me. There is a knob that is used to lock the saw in a fixed position so I wonder if people had it set too tight causing it to stick. I've been using this saw to remodel my house and it's been a great saw!

Sorry it took so long to respond. The guides work terrifically. My husband and grandson both think this is one of the better shavers that money can by other than professional clippers.

It is CERTAINLY not intuitive. Works well, though, so maybe it isn't a design flaw. Anyway, grasp the very end of it and twist COUNTER-clockwise (i.e., to the left). The end will "break" and slip off. I usually shave twice - the first time w/o power assist; the second time, with. Good luck to you.
