PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
CHARGING
The X6 PRO clipper is so easy to use. But before you start using your new tool, you
must take the time to charge it for 3 hours before its first use. Your new tool comes
with a small amount of charge, but the initial charge will ensure your new tool will
have optimum power performance to give you smooth fast cutting, every time.
- Before using for the first time, fully charge your new tool continuously for 3
hours.
- Maximum battery capacity will only be reached after 3 charging & discharging
cycles.
- Ensure your new tool is switched off.
- Insert the small plug on the charging adaptor into the socket on the bottom of
your new tool.
- Plug the charging adaptor into a suitable mains power socket and switch on.
- The red charging LED indicator light on your new tool will flash when correctly
connected to the mains power, and will continuously flash until the battery has
fully charged.
- When the battery is fully charged, the LED indicator light will stop flashing, but
remain on.
- A full charge of 3 hours will supply 75 minutes cordless runtime.
- A quick charge of 15 minutes will supply 15 minutes cordless runtime.
- When the clipper is running low on charge, the LED indicator light will flash,
warning you there is approximately 3 minutes left of battery use remaining.
- lf the charging light suddenly starts to flash rapidly (more than 4 flashes per
second) then the appliance is faulty. lf this happens then please stop charging
and remove the adaptor from the mains and contact our customer care centre
for further advise (see the “warranty section” section of the information
booklet).

HOW TO USE
THE X6 PRO CLIPPER
OILING THE BLADES
To get the sharpest, most precise cut, it is highly recommended to oil the blades
before each use.
• Using the oil supplied with your new tool, unscrew the cap & cut off the very
end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil.
• Switch your tool on, gently squeeze the oil tube & apply 2 drops of oil onto
the blades. Leave the tool on for a further few seconds to allow the oil to
thoroughly spread across each of the blades. Switch off the tool & remove
any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.
BEFORE USING
• Always inspect the clipper blades for noticeable signs of damage.
• Always inspect the clipper blades before use to ensure they are free from
hair, debris etc.
• Ensure the clipper is sufficiently charged before use.
• For best performance use on clean hair that has been combed until tangle-
free.
NOTE – The X6 PRO clipper can be used on wet, thick and longer hair types, but
always make sure hair is well-combed before clipping.
5 POSITION TAPER CONTROL
The 5 position taper control for is designed for blending layers & a precise close
trim, everytime. The clipping lengths are marked on the side of the clipper.
• To increase the cutting length, push the lever down. This will cut at the
longest length = 3.0mm.
• To reduce the cutting length, push the lever up. This will cut at the shortest
length = 0.6mm.

CLIPPING TIPS
Hit up www.vsformen.com.au for more grooming tips, inspiration & guidance on
how to get the best use of your clipper.
CREATING AN ALL-OVER EVEN CUT
1. Ensure the clipper is switched off.
2. Attach the desired cutting comb guide as required.
3. Switch the clipper on – the blades will start to move.
4. Start cutting at the nape of the neck, holding the clipper with the teeth of
the clipper pointing upwards, ensuring that the comb guide is resting flat
against the head.
5. 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 to the length as shown on the
comb guide.
6. Once the desired length is achieved at the back of the hair, start clipping the
top and sides.
7. 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.
8. For finishing around the ears, attach the integrated ear comb guide and trim
down any longer hairs around the ears – gently stroke the clipper along the
ears towards the back of the neck.

CREATING A SHORT BACK & SIDES LOOK, WITH
LENGTH ON THE TOP
9. Ensure the clipper is switched off.
10. Attach the desired cutting comb guide as required.
11. Switch the clipper on – the blades will start to move.
12. 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.
13. 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.
14. Start cutting at the nape of the neck, and with the comb guide flat against
the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area you want to
take shorter.
15. Repeat on the sides of the hair, starting with the teeth of the clipper pointing
upwards and comb guide flat against the area above the ear, again moving
the clipper upwards and outwards.
OUTLINING
16. To tidy up the edges around your cut e.g. neckline and sideburns, detach the
comb guides.
17. Hold the clipper upside down, so the front of the clipper is facing towards
your head.
18. Hold the clipper straight on your sideburns or neckline and move the clipper
downwards. This will give you a clean, smooth finish.

CLIPPER CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Because the clipper blades are precision made for a very special use, they
should always be handled with care. To ensure long-lasting performance of your
clipper, it is important to clean the blades + the comb guides after every use.
After each use, clean the clipper blade set as follows:
1. Switch the clipper off or unplug from the power outlet if it is charging.
2. Using the cleaning brush, gently brush and blow any hairs from the blade set
and head of your clipper.
The X6 PRO clipper blades are carefully inspected to ensure that they are in
perfect alignment.
Of course you will need to realign the blades after removal for cleaning or
replacement, or if they are knocked out of alignment.
How can you tell if the blades need realigning? Simply match them up, point to
point, using the following instructions.
1. Using an Allen key, remove the two screws from the large fixed blade and
detach this blade. DO NOT MISPLACE THE SCREWS.
Once both screws are removed, the large top blade should come away from the
clipper. The small bottom blade should be positioned on the white plastic blade
cushion. NEVER REMOVE THE WHITE PLASTIC BLADE CUSHION.
2. Remove the blades carefully noting which way round they are fitted. This will
help with re-assembling.
3. Now brush away the hair and other debris from the interior of the cutting
head and blades.
4. Re-assembly is simply the reverse of the above instructions. To re-assemble,
position the large top blade on top of the small bottom blade by matching
them up, point to point. The blade teeth on the large top blade should be
0.5mm to 1.2mm back from the small bottom blade (see Fig.1).

X6 PRO / TOOL TIPS

5. Finally, before fully tightening the two screws in the large blade, to avoid injury
ensure that the blades are correctly aligned. With the taper control lever fully
forward, the tips of the small blade must be parallel with and 1mm below the tips
of the large blade. Also check that the extreme left hand tooth of the small blade
is inside the large blade. (Failure to do so could cause injury).
6. Carefully tighten the two screws on the large top blade, taking care not to disturb
the above correct position of the blades
7. After replacing the blade set, always remember to re-oil the blades of your
clipper.
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair or replace the blades. In the event that the blades
become blunt or damaged, contact the Conair Customer Service.
Replacement blades can be purchased from Conair Customer Service.
