Cleaning and Maintenance Troubleshooting
STEP 4 – Top of the head
• Use the longer length guide comb 22mm or 25mm on the clipper 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 a guide 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” and Short Cuts
• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (25mm), cut from the back of
the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat 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 “flat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top
of a flat comb.
• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
• To ensure long lasting performance of the clipper, clean the blades and
unit regularly.
• Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet.
• Do not use harsh or corrosive cleaners on the unit or blades.
• Cleaning should be done with a soft brush.
• After each use - Brush the accumulated hair from the blades.
• Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the power outlet.
• To clean the unit, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
Note: Suitable for cleaning under water.
WASHABLE CLEANING
• The clipper is fully washable and can be easily cleaned under a running tap.
• Press the blade release point to slide out the blade. Then the blade set can
easily be cleaned under the tap.
• Once the blades are cleaned and dry, place the blade set on top of the clipper
and push it towards the hair clipper until it snaps into place.
• We recommend that you oil the blades regularly. Add a few drops on all gliding
surfaces, the cutting area and back pads of the blades.
Note: A hex wrench is provided to enable you to take the blade apart for
deep cleansing.
EVERY SIX MONTHS
• The blade assembly can be taken apart for deep cleansing.
• Use the provided hex wrench to remove the two blade fasteners.

clipper.The oil should distribute on its own. Wipe off any excess oil.
