INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

- Switch the product on by pressing the on/off switch.
BEFORE STARTING THE CUT

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 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 clear,n 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, in and then work downwards.
The following instructions are for those users who want different trimming lengths on the sides, back, and top of the head.

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 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.
To produce a clean,n 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.
