F INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
,BEFORE STARTING THE CUT
•Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
•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 blade.
•Gently push the back of the comb down so it snaps into place.
,TO REMOVE THE COMB
•Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, rmly push the
comb upward and away from the blades.
Guide Combs Hair Length
1 (Grade 1) 3mm
2 (Grade 2) 6mm
3 (Grade 3) 9mm
4 (Grade 4) 12mm
6 (Grade 6) 18mm
•Each comb attachment is marked accordingly on its outside middle surface
(3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 18mm).
•Use the clipper without any xed combs for trimming hair close to the skin.
•This will trim hair to 1mm, holding the clipper so the blades are
perpendicular to the skin will trim hair to 0.5mm.
•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
•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
•With the 12mm 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 12mm or 18mm guide comb and continue to cut up to the top
of the head.
,STEP 4 – Top of the head
•With the 12mm or 18mm 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 ngers to lift it and cut it to the desired length.
•Always work from the back of the head.
,STEP 5 – The nishing 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.
,TAPER LEVER
•The taper lever adjusts the length of cut when not using comb attachments.
•It is suggested to set the blades closest together when using the comb
attachments. Half grade sizes can be achieved by using the taper lever with
comb attachments.
C CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
,AFTER EACH USE
•To ensure long lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and
unit regularly.
