the neck. Be careful not to touch ears or
to press too hard.
5. Final trim can be made with the hair
clipper or the 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.
6. The adjustable taper level allows you
to gradually change the closeness
of the cut, either with or without a
trimming guide. When the lever is
fully forward the blades will give the
closest cut. Moving the lever
gradually backwards increases the
cutting length.
SHORT TAPERED STYLES - “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS
1. Starting with the longest attachment comb (25mm), cut from
the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the attachment comb
flat against the head and slowly move
the clipper through the hair, as shown.
2. Use the same procedure from the
lower side to the upper side of the
head, as illustrated. Then cut the hair
against the direction in which it grows
and level with the sides.
3. To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top
of the head must
be cut over the top of a flat comb.
4. Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the hair down
to the neckline as desired.

Use and Care Instructions
Thank you for purchasing your new Remington® High Precision
Haircut Kit. Your hair clipper is designed to help you maintain
a range of hairstyles for years to come.
For best cutting performance we recommend you read these
instructions thoroughly and keep them in a safe place.
BEFORE CUTTING HAIR
The blades of this clipper are designed to remain
permanently lubricated. They do not need oiling. We have
aligned the blades on your hair clipper prior to shipment.
It is possible the blades may be bumped out of alignment
whilst in transit. Correct blade alignment is essential for
effective cutting.
Compare the blade position on your hair clipper with the
images shown on the left. If the blades are out of alignment
they can be easily adjusted.
1. The end of the top blade should be closer to the body of the
HC825AU SPECIFICATIONS
Power System Cord
Voltage Type Single
hair clipper than the bottom blade. This is important so that
the clipper doesn’t cut too close or allow the moving (top)
blade to touch the skin.
2. The bottom blade should be as closely aligned as possible
to the centre of the top blade.
3. If the blades are not correctly aligned, turn the clipper on for
a few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen the two screws
slightly and manually adjust the bottom blade until it is aligned.
Re-tighten the screws.
4. Ensure the hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight
vibration, before attempting to cut any hair.
GETTING STARTED
1. Make sure your clipper is operating correctly.
2. Place a 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.
5. Comb out all knots and tangles.
6. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your
thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip
proves comfortable cutting control. Although the hair clipper
23456
may be used left or right handed, using it right handed allows
you to access the taper lever more easily.
7. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair,
making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.
TO ATTACH TRIMMING GUIDES
1. Select an appropriate length trimming guide to match the
desired length of hair to remain after the cut. The trimming
guides are numbered and marked with 3mm, 6mm, 9mm,
12mm, 16mm, 18mm, 22mm and 25mm.
2. Hold comb with teeth up, slide the attachment firmly onto
the bottom clipper blade.
FOR UNIFORM CUTTING
Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without forcing it at
a faster rate, as this 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 upwards 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 determine
if 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 the same on both sides of the head.
3. To cut 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. To trim around the ears and short hairs at
the nape of the neck, you must remove the
trimming guide. Angle the clipper and
lightly stoke around each ear to the back of
