Wahl trimmers are meant to be pretty good, did you try adjusting it?


Well, on the side there is a lever that seems to move tone half of the
blade pair against the other (so there is more / less of the 'teeth'
of one aligned with the other)?


that's a fine adjustment for length- used to blend in. The idea is you
move it as you cut.


Ah, I thought it looked and felt a bit easy for a 'setting' control
(if you know what I mean).

You're looking for a thing that looks like a flat screw-head, about 8mm
accross.


Ah, the one half way down the handle that on mine looks like the end
of a fuse holder you mean. ;-)

I gave that a few turns and now have the range from quiet to a
tinnitus annoying loud buzz-rattle!

So, if the is a 'correct' setting, what is it please (please don't say
'on the loudest' ..) [1] ;-(

Cheers (very much).

p.s. Anyone need a concrete vibrator?

[1] Seriously, if it was to be set on loud I really could see myself
being able to use them, not without earplugs anyway.
