Clipping with comb attachment
,The hair length after cutting is indicated in millimetres on the result
indicator (Fig. 5).
,The hair length after cutting is only visible when one of the combs
is attached. Use the small comb for a length of 3-21 mm and use
the large comb for a length of 23-41 mm.
1 Slide the comb attachment into the guiding grooves of the
appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 6).
Make sure that the arms of the comb attachment have been properly slid
into the grooves on both sides.
2 Set the comb to the desired hair length by turning the length
lock (Fig. 7).
The small comb cuts hair to a length of 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 15mm,
18mm or 21mm.

The large comb cuts the hair to a length of 24mm, 27mm, 30mm, 33mm,
36mm, 39mm or 42mm.
3 Switch the appliance on (Fig. 8).

- We advise you to start clipping at the highest setting of the large
comb and to reduce the hair length in small steps until you reach the
desired hair length.
- If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove the comb
attachment and blow and/or shake the hair from the comb. Removing
the comb does not change the selected hair length setting.
- Write down the hair length settings used to create a certain hairstyle
as a reminder for future clipping sessions.
Clipping without comb attachment:
You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the
neckline and the area around the ears.
,Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the appliance (Fig. 9).
Never pull at the exible top of the comb attachment. Always pull at the
bottom part.
,The comb attachment keeps the cutting unit at a certain distance
from your head.This means that, if you use the clipper without the
comb attachment, your hair will be cut off very close to the skin.
,For precise contouring and dening:
1 Push the middle part of the cutting unit upwards with your thumb
until it opens and then pull it off the appliance (Fig. 10).
Be careful that the cutting unit does not fall to the oor.
2 Place the lug of the precision trimmer into the slot and push the
unit back onto the appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 11).
