are free from hair, debris etc.
• For best performance, use on clean, dry hair that has been combed
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.
Fig.1

• 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.
