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

Hook the front side of the attachment comb on the front side of the teeth.
Press the back side of the comb downwards, until the tab clicks into place.

TO REMOVE THE COMB

Press upward on the tab to release the comb.
With the tab released, pull the comb away from the clipper and unhook the front of the blade. 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,, 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.
