INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE STARTING THE CUT
- Inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
- Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
- Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle-free and dry.
TO ATTACH A COMB
- Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
- Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly sits against the clipper and clicks into position.
TO REMOVE THE COMB
- Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, firmly push the comb upward and away from the blades.
- Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface. , Please note that a 0.5mm cutting length can be achieved by holding the clipper, with no comb attachment, perpendicular to the skin. A 1.0mm cutting length is achieved from holding the clipper, with no comb attachment, with the top of the blade surface in contact with the skin.
This is with the taper setting set at the closest gap between the blades.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR
- For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb attachment.
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck
- Use a 3mm or 6mm guide comb.
- Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
- Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.
STEP 2 – Back of the head
- With the 12mm comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – Side of the head
- With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9mm or 12mm guide comb and continue to cut up to the top of the head.
STEP 4 – Top of the head
- With the 16mm or 18mm guide comb attached, cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which it normally grows.
- For longer hair on top, use without a guide comb. Lift the hair on top of the head with a small hand comb. Cut over the hand comb with the hair lifted, or hold the hair between the fingers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
- Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – The finishing touches
- Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck. Use the ear comb guides to get a clean line around each ear. For the required ear comb guide, angle the clipper and lightly stroke around each ear to the back of the neck.
- To produce a clean, straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper.
- Place the reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin, and then work downwards.
TAPER LEVER
- The taper lever adjusts the length of the cut when not using comb attachments.
- It is suggested to set the blades closest together when using the comb attachments. Half-grade sizes can be achieved by using the taper lever with comb attachments.

Faqs
How do I properly attach and remove the comb guides on my remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035?
To attach a comb guide on your remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035, hold the comb with teeth facing up and slide it onto the blade until it clicks into place. To remove, hold the clipper with blades facing away from you and push the comb upward and away from the blades. This ensures secure attachment and easy removal for different hair lengths, making styling more efficient and precise.
Why is my remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035 pulling hair instead of cutting smoothly?
If your remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035 is pulling hair, check that the blades are clean and free from hair buildup. Use the included cleaning brush regularly.

How often should I clean and oil the blades of my remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035?
For best performance, clean the blades of your remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035 after each use with the included cleaning brush.

What should I do if the remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035 stops working during use?
If your remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035 stops working, first check that the power cord is securely plugged in and the outlet is functioning. Ensure the on/off switch is properly engaged.

How do I achieve a 0.5mm cut with the remington ColourCut Clipper HC5035?
