• Use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.
Oiling Instructions
• For optimum cutting performance, it is highly recommended to oil the
blades after every use.
• When using the oil for the rst time, unscrew the cap and cut off the
very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors.
• Remove the blade guard and switch the appliance on.
• Holding the clipper/trimmer at a 45 degree angle, gently squeeze the
oil tube and apply 2 drops directly onto the blades.
• Leave the unit on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to
thoroughly spread along the length of the blades.
• Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with
a cloth before using on hair.
• To attach a comb guide, ensure the appliance is switched off. Position

the comb guide over the front of the clipper blade and slide over the
head. Push and click the rear of the comb guide into position.
• To remove the comb guide, ensure the appliance is switched off.
Push the tab on the rear of the comb guide away from the head and
lift off.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Charging the Appliance
• Before using the clipper and trimmer for the rst time, charge the
batteries continuously for 3 hours. Maximum battery capacity will only
be reached after 3 completed charging and discharging cycles.
• Connect the charging cable into the back of the charging stand. Plug
into a suitable mains power socket and switch on. Place the clipper and
trimmer into the dual charging stand. The red LED indicator lights will
ash when correctly placed in to the stand and will continuously ash
until the battery has fully charged. When the batteries are fully charged
the LED indicator lights will stop ashing but remain on.
NOTE: Always place the clipper/trimmer in the base with the ‘I/0’ switch
in the OFF position.
• When the clipper/trimmer is running low on charge, the LED indicator
light will ash, warning there is approximately 3 minutes of battery use
remaining.
• Clipper - a 3 hour charge will provide approximately 120 minutes use.
A 30 minute quick charge will provide approximately 30 minutes use.
• Trimmer - a 3 hour charge will provide approximately 85 minutes use.
A 30 minute quick charge will provide approximately 30 minutes use.
• If the charging light starts to ash rapidly (more than 4 ashes per
second) then the appliance is faulty. If this happens then please stop
charging and remove the adapter from the mains and contact the Conair
Customer Care Line. (See ‘UK After Sales Service’ section for further
information).
Preserving the Batteries
• In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable batteries,
the appliance should be recharged for 3 hours approximately every 3
months.
• Using the clipper/trimmer on the mains - ensure that the clipper is
switched off. Plug into a suitable mains socket. Wait for approximately a

minute, and then switch on.
IMPORTANT: Do not use the clipper/trimmer in this mode for more than
20 minutes.
CLIPPING
Taper Control
The taper control lever enables ne cut adjustment for precision
clipping.
• To increase the cutting length, push the lever down.
• To reduce the cutting length, push the lever up.
Comb Guides
This appliance is supplied with 6 comb guides:
Cutting Length Grade
3mm (⅛’’) #1
6mm (¼’’) #2
10mm (⅜’’) #3
13mm (½’’) #4
16mm (⅝’’) #5
19mm (¾’’) #6
For an all over even cut
• Attach a comb guide as required – your clipper is supplied with 6
comb guides (grades 1-6). Each comb guide is labelled.
• Switch the clipper to the ‘I-ON’ position and the blades will start to
move.
• Starting at the nape of the neck, hold the clipper with the teeth of
the comb guide pointing upwards, ensuring that the comb guide is
resting at against the head.
• Slowly move the clipper upwards and outwards through the hair
towards your crown, against the direction of the hair growth. The
comb guide will help to lift the hair and the blades will cut the hair at
the desired length.
• Once the desired length is achieved at the back of the hair, start
clipping the top and sides.

• Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing
towards the back of your head, and move the clipper towards your
crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front and the
sides of your head to the back.
• You should achieve an even length cut all over your head.
For shorter back and sides, with length on the top
• Attach the longer comb guide as required for the top of your hair –
your clipper is supplied with 6 comb guides (grades 1-6). Each comb
guide is labelled.
• Switch the clipper to the ‘I-ON’ position and the blades will start to
move.
• Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing
towards the back of your head and move the clipper towards your
crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front and the
sides of your head to the back.
• If you then wish to take the back and sides of your hair to a shorter
length, switch off the appliance and attach a shorter comb guide.
• Starting at the nape of the neck, with the comb guide at against
the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area you
want to take shorter.
• Repeat through the sides of the hair, starting with the teeth of the
clipper pointing upwards and the comb guide at against the area
above the ear, again moving the clipper upwards and outwards.
Outlining
• To tidy up the edges around your cut e.g. neckline and sideburns,
detach the comb guides.
• Hold the appliance upside down, so the front of the clipper is facing
towards your head.
• Hold the clipper straight on your sideburns or neckline and move the
clipper downwards. This will give you a clean, smooth nish.
