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.
• To attach a comb, align the legs of the comb with the holes in the top of the clipper on each side of the blade and slide the legs into the trimmer until they click.
• To remove, firmly pull the comb straight up away from the clipper.

HAIR CLIPPER COMB SETTINGS

• The clipper comes with two adjustable combs, a short length adjustable comb (indicated by 1-21mm on the back of the comb) and a longer length adjustable comb (indicated by 24-44mm on the back of the comb). 

• Please see the table below for the different cutting lengths available on each comb.

  

• On the slide select switch,, there is a silver indicator which, when the short length adjustable comb is on the product, shows the corresponding length setting on the left of the slide select switch. On the other side of the slide select switch,, there is another silver indicator which shows the corresponding length setting when the longer length adjustable comb is on the product, on the right side of the slide select switch.
• To adjust the length settings, you must press the upper half of the slide select switch to release the locking mechanism, then apply force upwards on the slide select switch to increase the length setting. To decrease the length settings, press the upper part of the slide, select the switch d,  o,,wn and slide downwards.
• Use the clipper without any fixed combs for trimming hair close to the skin.
• This will trim hair to 1mm. Holding the clipper so the blades are perpendicular to the skin will trim hair to 0.5mm.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR

• To turn the product on or off, slide the switch. To locate the On/Off switch, please refer to the key features section.
• 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

• Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm.
• 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 comb set at 12mm or 18mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

STEP 3 – Side of the head

• With the comb set at 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.

STEP 4 – Top of the head

• Use the longer length comb attachment and set it to 24mm or 27mm, then cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• For longer hair on top, use the longer length comb attachment (24 – 44mm) to achieve the desired style.
• 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. 
• 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.
