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 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.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING

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

• 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

• 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

• 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.

 SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS

• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (24 - 42mm), cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair.
• 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. 
• To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat comb.
• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.

Troubleshooting Remington Pro Power Trimmer HC5200

• Problem: Trimmer not turning on – Ensure the battery is charged and the power switch is fully engaged. If corded, check the power outlet and cord integrity.
• Problem: Cutting performance decreases – Clean blades after each use using the provided brush and apply oil as recommended to maintain sharpness and prevent snagging.
• Error Codes: The HC5200 does not display error codes; however, persistent issues may indicate battery or motor faults requiring professional service.
• Battery issues: If the time drastically reduces, the battery may need replacement after extended use; refer to warranty support for assistance.
• Preventive Measures: Regular cleaning, proper storage, avoiding water submersion beyond washable parts, and charging as recommended will extend the trimmer’s life.
