HOW TO USE

BEFORE STARTING THE CUT

1.  Inspect the clipper, making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.  
2. Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.  
3. 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 track of the left and right sides of the housing unit; the front of the combs 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. 
The comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface. (3-21mm & 24-42mm)

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING

NOTE: 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 comp attachment.

STEP 1 – Nape of the neck – PICTURE 1

• Set the comb attachment 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 – PICTURE 2

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

STEP 3 – Side of the head – PICTURE 3

• Set the comb attachment to 3mm or 6mm guide to trim sideburns. Then change the setting to 9mm and continue to cut to the top of the head.

STEP 4 – Top of the head – PICTURE 4

• 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 (24-42mm) to achieve the desired style.
• Always work from the back of the head.

STEP 5 – The finishing touches – PICTURE 5

• 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.
