INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE STARTING THE CUT
• Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
• Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
• Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle free and dry.
TO ATTACH A COMB
• Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
• Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb rmly sits
against the clipper and click into position.
TO REMOVE THE COMB
• Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, rmly push the comb
upward and away from the blades.
• Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface.
• Please note a 0.5mm cutting length can be achieved from holding the clipper, with
no comb attachment, perpendicular to the skin. A 1.0mm cutting length is achieved
from holding the clipper, with no comb attachment, with the top of the blade
surface in contact with the skin.
• This is with the taper setting set at the closest gap between the blades.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR
• For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair.
Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the rst time, start with the
maximum comb attachment.

STEP 1 – NAPE OF THE NECK
• Attach the 3mm or 6mm xed comb
• Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre
of the head at the base of the neck.
• Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming
just a little at a time.
STEP 2 – BACK OF THE HEAD
• With the 12mm or 16mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD
• With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to the
longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.
STEP 4 – TOP OF THE HEAD
• Use the longer length xed combs of 22mm or 25mm to cut hair on top of the head
against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – THE FINISHING TOUCHES
• Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base
and sides of the neck.
• To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Place the
reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the
skin and then work downwards.
SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest xed comb (25mm), cut from the back of the neck to the
crown. Hold the guide comb at against the head and slowly move the clipper
through the hair.
• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head. Then cut
the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.
• To give a “at top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a at
comb.
• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
AFTER EACH USE
• To ensure long lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and unit
regularly.
• Ensure the appliance is switched o and unplugged from the mains before
cleaning.
