Useful tips
7Hold the appliance with a
relaxed and comfortable grip.
7Always cut against the natural
direction of the hair.
7As you cut, take a break at regu-
lar intervals. You can always
make a correction, but not once
the hair has been cut.
7Only cut a small amount the first
time you use the trimmer. This is
the only way to get used to the
variable grades.
7Do not force the comb through
the hair. Let it guide you.
7Keep combing the hair. Only look
for hair which is too long and
comb out clippings.
