Line Cord Safety Tips
NOTE: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a quali-
fied electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
1. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and
guide it into outlet.
2. To disconnect the appliance, grasp
the plug and remove it from outlet.
Do not pull or yank on the cord or
appliance. Do not wrap the cord
around the appliance.
Blade Care
The life of your clippers will depend
on frequency of use, care, hair type
and condition. The HC-921 blades
are lubed for life and do not require
additional oiling.
Before Cutting Hair
1. Make sure your hair clipper is
runnning smoothly with a slight
vibration.
2. Place the cape around the neck
of the person whose hair is being
trimmed or cut.
3. This person should be seated so
that the top of their head is at your
eye level.
4. Comb the hair as it is normally
styled.
6
5. Comb out all knots and tangles.
6. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers
perform best with dry hair, making
it easier to see how much hair is
being cut.
7. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of
one hand with your thumb resting
firmly on the top of the hair clipper.
This grip provides comfortable
cutting control. Although the hair
clipper may
be used with
the left or
right hand,
using it
right-handed
allows you to
access the
taper lever
more easily.
To Attach Trimming Guides
1. Select the trimming guide that
matches the length you want
the hair to be after the cut. The
trimming guides are numbered
and marked with 1/8” (3mm),
1/4” (6mm), 3/8” (9mm), 1/2”
(12mm), 5/8”(16mm), 3/4”(18mm),
7/8”(22mm), and 1”(25mm). See
preceding chart to determine which
combs your model contains.
2. While the clipper is off, hold the
trimming guide with the teeth up.
Slide the trimming guide onto the
blades until it locks into place.
How to Use

7
Usage Tips
3. To cut the hair
at the top
of the head,
hold the hair
between your
fingers and
cut a small
amount at a
time. Cut from
the front to
the back.
4.
Remove the trimming guide and
replace with either the left or right
ear guide. The shorter guide teeth
are designed to be toward the ear.
Move the
clipper from
the back of
the head to
the front. This
creates a
tapered effect
around the
ears and back
of the neck.
5. The final trim
can be made with the hair clipper
or the included scissors. Make
sure to check over the entire head
for any uneven areas. For styled
hair or giving quick trims, you
may prefer using your hair clipper
without the trimming guide.
Giving a Comfortable,
Even Cut
Allow the clipper to cut through the
hair without moving it too quickly.
Moving the clipper too quickly may
create a pulling sensation.
Use short strokes when cutting, and
initially use the longest trimming
guide. You can always use a closer
trimming guide later if you want a
closer cut.
How to Give a Haircut
1. Start at the back of the head.
Holding the clipper as shown,
lightly stroke upward making sure
you are taking off the desired
amount of hair. Work your way
up to the crown of the head in
layers. When
completed,
comb the area
to remove any
loose hair and
to determine
whether you
need any
further cutting.
2. Repeat the
same procedure for each side of
the head. Make sure the length of
the hair is trimmed to the same
length on both sides of the head.

6. The adjustable taper control lever
allows you to gradually change
the closeness of your cut, either
with or without a trimming guide.
When the lever is fully forward the
blades will give you the closest cut.
Moving the lever gradually back-
ward increases the cut length.
Very short styles
1. Using the 1/2” (12mm) trimming
guide, hold the comb flat against
the head and
move the hair
clipper from
the back of
the neck to
the crown of
the head.
2. Cut in a similar
manner from
the side to the
top of the head. Then cut from the
front to the crown of the head.
3. If a “Flat Top” style is desired,
remove the trimming guide and
use the barber’s comb. Trim a
little at a time until a flat look is
achieved.
Trimming Beards &
Mustaches
1. Comb your beard in the direction
it grows.
2. Determine the
length you
want the beard
to remain,
and fit the
appropriate
trimming guide.
Remember
the 1/8”
(3mm) guide
will give you
the shortest beard while the 1”
(25mm) will give you the longest.
If you want a longer beard you can
use the styling comb as a trimming
guide.
3. Start trimming under your chin and
work toward your ear and beard
line. Cut in different directions for a
uniform trim.
4. Lightly stroke the edge of your
mustache in a downward
movement.

appliance.
