HOW TO 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 firmly sits against the
clipper blade.
To remove the comb
Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, firmly push the comb upward
and away from the blades.
Comb Attachments Hair Lengths
Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface (3mm, 7mm,
9mm, 12mm.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
Note: 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 first time, start with the
maximum comb attachment
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck – DIAGRAM 1
Use 3mm or 6mm guide 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 – DIAGRAM 2
With the 12mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – Side of the head – DIAGRAM 3
With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer
9mm or 12mm guide comb and continue to cut to the top of the head.

STEP 4 – Top of the head – DIAGRAM 4
With the 9mm or 12mm guide comb attached, cut hair on top of the head against the
direction in which the hair normally grows.
For longer hair on top, use without a guide comb. Lift the hair on top of the head with a
small hand comb. Cut over the hand comb with the hair lifted or hold the hair between the
fingers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – The finishing touches – DIAGRAM 5
Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides
of the neck. Use the ear comb guides to get a clean line around each ear. For the required
ear comb guide, angle the clipper and lightly stroke around each ear to the back 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.
TAPER LEVER (DIAGRAM 6)
This product has a taper lever located at the left side of the clipper near the blades. Adjust
the lever to change the closeness of the cut gradually and also to improve the effectiveness of
the comb attachments. The taper lever also extends the life of the blades because a different
cutting edge is used in each setting.

CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
Your clipper is fitted with high quality titanium blades. To ensure long lasting performance
of your clipper, clean the blades and unit regularly. Always keep the protective cap on the
trimmer blade.
AFTER EACH USE
Ensure the clipper is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
Brush the accumulated hair from the blades. Do not submerge the clipper in water.
To clean the unit, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
Note: Ensure that the clipper is turned off when cleaning.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
At regular intervals the Blade Set should be removed and cleaned.
Remove the 2 screws retaining the fixed blade with a screwdriver. Do not remove blade
set.
Brush out hairs from between the blades with soft cleaning brush. Do not remove the
lubricating grease from the blades. It is not necessary to remove the small moving blade
from the unit.
If the moving blade has been removed this can be re-fitted by slotting the long grooved
edge of the blade onto the two white plastic guide ridges and then seating the blade over
the plastic actuator bar. The fixed blade is fitted with the raised profile pointing outwards
and fixed with the 2 screws.
Before fully tightening the 2 screws, adjust the taper lever to the lower position and align
the blades so that their cutting edges are parallel to one another. Tighten the 2 screws.
Note that if the blades are not correctly aligned then cutting efficiency will be impaired.
CAUTION: Do not use liquid cleaners on the blades or harsh or corrosive chemicals on
the blade casing. Always use a soft brush to remove the accumulated hairs.
Unplug the charge adaptor from the power outlet when fitting or removing attachments,
or while cleaning the product.
Always store this appliance in a moisture-free area.
Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.

TROUBLESHOOTING
If blades do not seem to cut hair easily, the taper lever (DIAGRAM 6) can be used to remove
any hair caught between the comb and blade. Switch the clipper on and move the taper lever
up and down a few times but do not force the lever in either direction. This should remove
hairs and restore the cutting efficiency. If not, contact your nearest Remington®Service
Centre.
