Read all instructions before using the appliance.
This appliance must be used only for the purpose it was expressly designed; any use NOT
complying with the instructions contained in the manual is considered inappropriate and
dangerous. The manufacturer is NOT responsible for possible damages caused by the
inappropriate and/or unreasonable use.
This appliance is NOT suitable to be used or stored near heat sources (open flame, ovens,
heaters, stoves, etc.) and/or in an explosive environment (in the presence of flammable
substances such as gas, vapour, mist or dust, in atmospheric conditions when, after ignition,
the combustion is spread in the air). Items containing these substances should never be
placed in the appliance, and never be used to clean the appliance in order to avert the risk of
fire or explosion.
The packing materials (plastic bags, expanded polystyrene, etc.) must be kept out of the
reach of children or disabled persons since they represent potential sources of danger.
The installation/assembly of the appliance will be made in accordance with the indications
of the manufacturer. A wrong procedure may cause damages to persons, animals or objects,
for which the manufacturer cannot be considered responsible.
Before use, check the integrity of the appliance and charging cable. DO NOT use the
appliance with a damaged Guide Comb, with teeth missing from the Blades, or with
unaligned Blades. DO NOT pull, twist or bend the charging cable, nor place heavy objects on
it; or use a charging cable that is worn or frayed. If the charging cable is damaged, it must be
replaced by the manufacturer or its service agent or a qualified technician in order to avoid a
shock hazard.
Before powering the appliance make sure the rating (voltage and frequency) corresponding
to the grid and the socket is suitable for the charging cable, and that the wall socket is
properly grounded.
DO NOT power the appliance using multiple sockets. If possible, avoid the use of adapters
and/or extension cables; if their use is absolutely necessary, use only materials in compliance
with the current safety regulations and according to the electrical parameters of the adapters.
The appliance must NOT be switched on using external timers and/or other remote control
appliances which are not specified in this manual.
Only use original components & accessories provided by the manufacturer. Any non-original
components & accessories (e.g. Blades & Guide Combs) NOT recommended by the
manufacturer may cause injuries to persons or damage to the appliance. Doing so will void
the warranty and may cause serious injury.
If you are using the appliance for the first time, you should:
a. Ensure that the appliance is switched off before cleaning the appliance.
If the exterior of the appliance is sticky, you can apply a small amount of detergent and

kerosene or any solvent. To re-align the Blades, switch OFF and unplug, loosen screws
slightly, match the Top and Bottom Blade teeth up, point for point, with the end of the Top
Blade teeth 1.2 mm back from the end of the Bottom Blade teeth, and tighten the screws

Safety Protection
If the appliance overheats, the thermal switch will be activated, leading to the motor being
shut off. Press the ON/OFF Switch OFF. Allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes
before using the appliance.
The Blade Lever
The Blade Lever allows you to gradually change the closeness of the cut without changing
the Guide Comb. When the Blade Lever is at its highest position, your hair will be very short.
When the Blade Lever is at its lowest position, your hair will be longer, just like using Guide
Comb 3 mm (⅛in).
The Blade Lever extends the life of the Blades since a different cutting edge is used for each
setting.
With the Clipper in operation, rapidly move the Blade Leaver from“Close cut” to “Longer cut”
a few times. This action removes hair that had become wedged between the Top & Bottom
Blades, without the need to loosen the screws and remove the Blades. With all the wedged
hair removed, if the Clipper stops cutting and the Blades are jammed even with this action
being repeatedly carried out, the Blades have become dull, and should be replaced.

HOW TO CUT
Begin with the Guide Comb of the longest length – ④which leaves 12mm (½ inch) of hair –
until you get used to the length to which each Guide Comb cuts the hair.
To attach a Guide Comb, hold it with the teeth pointing upwards and slide it along the Blades
until the front of the Guide Comb firmly seats against the Blades. To remove the Guide Comb,
pull it upward and away from the Blades.
Comb the DRY hair frequently during cutting to check for uneven strands and to remove cut
hair.
Nape of the Neck
• Attach Guide Combs ①or ②.
• Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
• Begin at the centre of the head at the base of the neck, and stop at the
level near the middle of the ears.
• Slowly work the Guide Comb through the hair without forcing it
through as you work upwards and outwards through the hair,
trimming a little at a time.
• Continue on each side of where you started until the entire nape of
the neck is shaved.
Guide Combs
To cut hair in the region
①3 mm (⅛in) ②6 mm (¼ in) ③9 mm (⅜in) ④12mm (½ in)
Back of the Head
• Attach Guide Combs ③or ④.
• Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
• Begin at the centre of the head where you left off earlier, and stop at
the level near the top of the head.
• Slowly work the Guide Comb through the hair without forcing it
through as you work upwards and outwards through the hair,
trimming a little at a time.
• Continue on each side of where you started until the entire back of
the head is shaved.
Side of the Head
Attach Guide Combs ①or ②and trim both sideburns.
Then attach Guide Combs ③or ④.
Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
Begin at the top of the sideburns, and end at the level near the top of
the head.
5

Top of the Head
• For hair of normal length, use Guide Combs ③or ④.
• If you desire a crew-cut, use Guide Combs ①or ②.
• It is advisable to use a longer Guide Comb first, and then use a shorter
one.
• For long hair which you desire to keep a certain length, use the Comb
provided to lift the hair to the desired length and cut ABOVE the Comb.
• In this case, you need not attach the Guide Comb.
• Alternatively, you can also use your fingers to lift the hair to the
desired length, and cut the hair ABOVE the fingers.
• In this case, you need not attach the Guide Comb.
In all cases:
• Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
Begin where you left of at the back of the head, and end at the front of
the head, against the direction of hair growth. In some cases, that
would mean cutting from the front to the back.
The Finishing Touches
• Remove the Guide Comb from the Clipper. Carefully trim the hair all
around the head evenly.
• To achieve clean straight lines at the sideburns, turn the Clipper over.
Then, press the Clipper at right angles to the head, with the tips of the
Blades lightly touching the skin and work downward. This achieves as
clean a cut as you would from a razor.
Short Tapered Styles – ‘Flat Tops’
• Attach Guide Comb ④.
• Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
• With the Guide Comb flat against the head, begin at the centre of the head at the base of the
neck, and stop at the crown.
• Continue on each side of where you started until the entire back and sides are shaved.
• Then, cut the hair from the front of the head to the crown, against the direction of hair
growth. (refer to diagram)
• Remove the Guide Comb from the Clipper. To achieve a‘Flat Top’, use the Comb provided and
cut the hair ABOVE the Comb.
• Attach Guide Comb ①.
• Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
• Taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
• Comb hair and check for uneven areas. Use the Clipper to smoothen out such areas.
