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 and clicks into position.

TO REMOVE THE COMB

Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, firmly push the comb upward and away from the blades.
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface.
Please note that a 0.5mm cutting length can be achieved clipper, with no comb attachment, perpendicular to the skin. A 1.0mm cutting length is achieved from holding the clipper, with no comb attachment, with the top of the blade surface in contact with the skin.
This is with the taper setting set at the closest gap between the blades.

Remington ColourCut Hair Clipper HC5038-Guide Combs

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR

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

Attach the 3mm or 6mm fixed comb.
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 12mm or 16mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.

STEP 3 – Side of the head

With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, 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 fixed combs of 22mm or 25mm to cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
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,n and then work downwards.

SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS

Starting with the longest fixed comb (25mm), 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.
