different directions (upwards, downwards and
across).
- Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure
that you cut all the hair that needs to be cut.
- Make sure that the at part of the hair clipping
comb attachment is fully in contact with the scalp
to obtain an even cutting result.
- To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair towards
the appliance.

attachment.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb
attachment, remove it from the appliance and blow
and/or shake the hair out of it.

Graduation
The Philips hair clipper not only allows you to cut
the hair evenly at the same length all over the head,
it also enables you to achieve a smooth transition
from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair
on the back and sides of the head.
1 Start clipping at setting 7 for the maximum
remaining hair length of 21mm.
2 Then choose a lower setting for a shorter
remaining hair length. Cut the hair on all parts
of the head except the top, where you want
the hair to be longer.
3 You can repeat this procedure until the hair on
every part of the head has the desired length.

attachment to contour the neckline and the area
around the ears.

2 Before you start to contour the hairline
around the ears, comb the hair ends over the
ears.
3 Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one
edge of the cutting element touches the hair
ends.

close to the ear.
