 STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD

• With the comb set at 9mm or 12mm, 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 12mm or 15mm, then cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.

STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCHES

• Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck and around the ears.
