I have a battery operated (AA) hair trimmer (WAHL groomsman)
Can I use NiMH batteries with it?

Should the fact that NiMH are 1.2v (as opposed to 1.5V of
non-rechareable batteries) potentially damage the trimmer?

You'll be ok. Dry cells drop below 1.2 volts before being exhausted. Some
things can be damaged by using Ni-Cads etc because their peak current
delivery is so much higher than a dry cell and if, say, a motor is stalled
could burn it out. But not much chance of this with a hair clipper.;-)
