Before Cutting Hair
1. Make sure your hair clipper is
running smoothly, with a slight
vibration.
2. Place a cape around the neck of
the person whose hair is being
trimmed or cut. (A cape is provided
with models HC80 and HC81).
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.
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”(15mm), 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.
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
(models HC80
and HC81).
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
backward 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.
Using the Detail Trimmer
Thinning and Tapering
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Use a small comb to hold the
beard hairs in place while
trimming.
■ Holding the groomer with the
cutting unit facing away from you,
move the groomer along the length
of the comb.
Beard line
■ Turn the groomer on.
■ Hold the groomer with the trimmer
cutting blades facing you.
■ Lightly touch the cutting blades to
your face and draw the groomer
toward your beard line. For your
neck, draw the groomer away from
desired beard line.
Trimming Beards and
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 1/2”
(12mm) or 1” (25mm) will give you
the longest. If you want a longer
beard you can use the 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.
