• If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb
attachment.
• For one all over cut length, attach the desired guide comb and slowly
guide the clipper through the hair against the direction the hair
normally grows.
• To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns and the base of
the neck, 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.
The following instructions are for those users who want different trimming
lengths on the sides, back and top of the head:
STEP 1 – Nape of the neck
Select the 3 or 6mm 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 9 or 12mm comb, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – Side of the head
With the 3 or 6mm comb, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9mm
guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.
STEP 4 – Top of the head
Use the longer length comb attachment and set it to 12mm to 25mm then
cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally
grows.
STEP 5 – The finishing touches
Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the
base and sides of the neck and around the ears.
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.
