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 16 hours before its rst use. Even if
you want to use it plugged in straight from the mains, this initial super-
charge 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
30 minutes use.
To charge the appliance:
Mains Operation
• Ensure the appliance is switched off.
• Connect the adaptor to the base of the appliance and plug the
adaptor into a suitable mains socket.
• The charging indicator will illuminate when the adaptor is correctly
inserted into the appliance and connected to the mains.
• The appliance is now ready for use.
• NOTE: The appliance should not be used for longer than 20 minutes
when operated from the mains.
Cordless Operation
• Insert the adaptor into the base of the appliance, plug into a suitable
mains socket and switch on. The charging indicator will illuminate
when the adaptor is correctly inserted into the appliance and
connected to the mains.
• Once the appliance is fully charged, unplug the adaptor from the
mains.
• Ordinarily, the appliance may be charged overnight.
• Although there is no risk of over charging, it is not advisable to charge
the appliance continuously for more than 24 hours. This will help
prolong the life of the battery.
Oiling Instructions
IMPORTANT! It is highly recommended before each use to oil the blades
with the oil provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance.

For the rst use you will need to use the oil supplied with the product,
unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair
of scissors to release the oil.
To oil the blades ensure the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the
oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the unit on for
a further few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread the length
of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently
dabbing with a cloth.
Preserving the batteries
In order to maintain the optimum capacity of the rechargeable
batteries, the appliance has to be fully discharged every 6 months
approximately. Then recharge the appliance to full capacity, again
for 16 hours.

• 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.

Taper Control

precision clipping.

• To reduce the cutting length, push the lever up.
Preparation for Use
• Always inspect the appliance before use to ensure the clipper blades
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.
NOTE: The appliance should not be used for longer than 20 minutes
when operated from 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 after use. Rinse under running water and
dry thoroughly before storage or use.
• Using the cleaning brush, brush and blow away any remaining hair
from the blades.
• Do not disassemble the blades.
