INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
Charging the Appliance
IMPORTANT! Only use the adaptor supplied with this appliance.
This clipper is so easy to use, but before you do anything you must
take your time to charge the unit for 3 hours before its rst use. Even
if you want to use it plugged in straight from the mains, this initial
supercharge ensures optimum power performance to give smooth fast
cutting every time. Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after
3 charging/discharging cycles. A full charge will provide approximately
75 minutes use. A 30 minute quick charge will provide approximately
30 minutes use.
When charging the appliance the blue LED charging light will ash
slowly and continuously until the battery has fully charged, then the
blue LED charging light will stop ashing but remain on.
Warning: If the charging light suddenly starts to ash rapidly then
the appliance is faulty. If this happens then please stop charging and
remove the adaptor from the mains and contact our Customer Care
Centre for further advise (see the ‘After Sales Service’ section of the
information booklet).

until tangle-free.
• Ensure the appliance is sufciently charged or plugged into the mains.

Clipping
For an all over even cut:
• Attach a comb guide as required – your clipper is supplied with 8
comb guides (grades 1-8). Each comb guide is labelled.
• Switch the clipper on and the blades will start to move.
• Starting at the nape of the neck, hold the clipper with the teeth of the
clipper 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 a 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 8 comb guides (grades 1-8). Each
comb guide is labelled.
• Switch the clipper on 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 on the sides of the hair, starting with the teeth of the clipper
pointing upwards and 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.
Cleaning & Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance, the appliance should be cleaned
after each use:
• Remove the comb guide - the comb guides can be rinsed under
running water. Please make sure they are dried thoroughly before
storage or further use.
• Using the cleaning brush, brush and blow away any remaining hair
from the blades.
• Do not disassemble the blades.
