INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

TO ATTACH THE COMB

1. Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
2. Depress the comb lock.
3. Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly sits against the clipper blade.

TO REMOVE THE COMB

1. Hold the clipper with the blades facing away from you. 
2. Depress the comb lock and firmly push the comb upward and away from the blades.

AJUSTING THE COMB
Depress the comb lock, then slide the comb up or down until the chosen marking on the setting scale is opposite the arrow on the body of the trimmer.

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.
• For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. 

STEP 1 – NAPE OF THE NECK

1. Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm.
2.  Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
3. Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD

1. With the comb set at 12mm or 18mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD

1. Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns, then change the setting to 9mm and continue to cut the top of the head.

STEP 4 – TOP OF THE HEAD

1. 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 lifter, or hold the hair between the fingers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
2. Always work from the back of the head.

STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCHES

1. Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.
2. To produce a clean, an 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.

SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” AND SHORT CUTS

1. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair.
2. Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head. Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.
3. To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat comb.
4. Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
