INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR

The QuickCut Clipper’s ergonomic design provides many different ways of holding the clipper in use.
For clipping the top of the head (see fig. 1).
For clipping the back of the head (see fig. 2).
For clipping the sides of the head (see fig. 3).
For detailing (see fig. 4).
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.
For one all all-over cut length, attach the desired guide comb and slowly guide the clipper through the hair against the direction the hair normally grows.
Remove the guide comb. To produce a clean, straight line at the sideburns and the base of the neck, 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.
