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.
• Each guide comb is marked accordingly on its outside surface (3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 20mm, 25mm, 30mm, 35mm, 40mm). 

TO ATTACH A COMB

• Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly sits against the clipper blade.

TO REMOVE THE COMB

• Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, firmly push the comb upward and away from the blades.

SHORT LENGTH SELECTION DIAL (Fig. 6)
The short length adjustment dial can be adjusted to give you 5 different cutting lengths (0.8 - 2mm) simply by turning the wheel to the desired setting. Turn the wheel anti-clockwise for a longer length and clockwise for a shorter length.

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 (Fig. 1)

• Use a 3a mm 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 (Fig. 2)
With the comb set at 9mm or 12mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

STEP 3 – Side of the head (Fig. 3)
With the 9mm or 12mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 20mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.

 STEP 4 – Top of the head (Fig. 4)

• Attach the 25-40mm guide comb, cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair 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.

STEP 5 – The finishing touches (Fig. 5)
Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.
