How to Use
Be sure to read all safety instructions
and warnings at the front of this
manual before using this product.
Charging/Recharging
To recharge, use only the charging
adapter provided.
■Turn the clipper off. Insert the
adapter plug into the bottom of the
clipper, then plug the adapter into
an electric outlet. The charging
indicator will glow blue, indicating
the unit is charging. A full charge
will take approx. 14-16 hours.
The low-battery indicator will glow
red when the clipper needs to be
recharged.
■Your clipper cannot be
overcharged. You may leave
it plugged in between uses.
However, if the clipper is not going
to be used for an extended period
(2 weeks), unplug the unit and
recharge when resuming use.
■Charge the clipper at temperatures
between 40-90˚F to avoid
adversely affecting battery life.
Before Cutting Hair
1. Make sure the hair clipper is
running smoothly and is charged.
2. Ensure the
hair is dry.
Hair clippers
perform best
with dry hair,
making it
easier to see
how much
hair is being
cut.
3. Hold the hair clipper in the palm
of your hand similar to how you
would hold a hairbrush.

Ultra Short Hair Length
The Shortcut Clipper comes with a
balding comb attached. An adjustable
guide comb for longer hair lengths is
included. To use the balding comb,
simply begin trimming your hair with
a fully-charged clipper.
Selecting Hair Length Setting
The Shortcut Clipper has an adjust-
able guide comb that lets you
change trim lengths simply by rolling
the clipper’s zoom wheel.
■Replace the balding comb
attachment with the adjustable
guide comb.
■Roll the zoom wheel toward the top
of the clipper to adjust for longer
length, and toward the bottom of
the clipper for
shorter length.
The wheel
will click into
one of five
positions.
■Begin
trimming
at one of
the longest
settings (#3 or #4) to avoid
accidentally trimming hair too
short. As you become familiar with
the settings, you can then select
your desired length setting.
NOTE: The adjustable guide comb
must be attached to the clipper in
order to use the hair length selector.
To remove a comb:
■ Be sure the clipper is in the OFF
position.
■ While holding clipper in one hand
and holding the zoom wheel to
prevent it from turning, gently pull
the comb away from the clipper.
The combs can be removed and
replaced on any setting.
To replace a comb:
■Be certain clipper is in OFF
position.
■While holding the clipper in one
hand, and holding the zoom wheel
to prevent it from turning, slide the
comb over the top of the clipper
until it clicks into position.
NOTE: The combs can only be placed
on the clipper one way; if the comb
does not fit properly, remove and
reverse it.

4. To trim around the ears and short
hairs at the
nape of the
neck simply
press the
release button
and slide
the pop-up
detail trimmer
outward. Be
careful not to
touch the ears or to press too hard.
5. Make sure to check over the entire
head for any uneven areas.
Giving a Comfortable,
Even Cut
Allow the clipper to cut through the
hair without moving it too quickly.
Moving the clipper too quickly may
create a pulling sensation.
Use short strokes when cutting, and
initially use the longest setting. You
can always use a closer setting 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 upward making sure
you are taking off the desired
amount of hair. Work your way up
to the crown of the head. When
completed, move clipper over and
cut down the head to the nape
of the neck. The SCC-100R is a
bidirectional hair cutter so you can
cut in either direction.
2. Repeat the same procedure across
the back of the head. Make sure
the length of the hair is trimmed to
the same length on both sides of
the head.
3. To cut the hair at the top of the
head, cut
from the
front to the
back in both
directions
until the
hair is cut to
the desired
length.
