INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
BEFORE STARTING THE CUT
• Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
• Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
• Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle free and dry.
TO ATTACH A COMB
• Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
• Align the legs of the comb with the holes in the top of the clipper on each side of the
blade and slide the legs into the trimmer until they click (Fig B).
• To remove, rmly pull the comb straight up away from the clipper.
SETTING THE LENGTH OF CUT
• Your clipper comes with three adjustable combs 3 to 13 mm, 14 to 24 mm and 25 to 35
mm.
• These provide a length of cut that can be adjusted between 3 and 35 mm in
increments of 1 mm.
1. Select the comb that ts the range of cut you want to achieve.
2. Fit the comb then rotate the length adjustment dial until the length you want appears
in the length selection window for that comb.
3. The length setting colour on the wheel matches the length marker colour on the
comb.
4. For example, if you want a cut length of 20 mm, t the 14 to 24 mm comb then turn the
dial until 20 appears in the length setting window for the 14 - 24 mm comb.
5. Use the clipper without any xed combs for trimming hair close to the skin.
6. This will trim hair to 1mm, holding the clipper so the blades are perpendicular to the
skin will trim hair to 0.5mm.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR
• Turn the product on using the on/o switch.
• 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
• Set the comb to 3 mm or 6 mm.
• 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 comb set at 12 mm or 18 mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

6
STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD
• With the comb set at 3 mm or 6 mm, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9 mm
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 24 mm or 27 mm then cut hair on
top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• For longer hair on top, use the longer length comb attachment (25 – 35 mm) to achieve
the desired style.
• Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – THE FINISHING 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.
MICRO FADE ADJUSTABLE COMB
The micro fade adjustable comb allows precision cutting in the 1 to 5 mm range.
Use the adjustment dial to set the comb to the desired length.
TURBO
• To run in Turbo mode, slide the on/o switch to the turbo position.
CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
• Your clipper is tted with high quality blades.
• To ensure long lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and unit regularly.
• Always keep the attachment guide comb on the trimmer blade.
AFTER EACH USE
• Ensure the appliance is switched o and unplugged from the charging adapter before
cleaning.
• Brush the accumulated hair from the blades and body of the clipper. Do not submerge
the clipper in water.
• To clean unit, wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately.
• Place a few drops of cutter or sewing machine oil onto the blades. Wipe o excess oil.
WASHABLE BLADE CLEANING
• The blades are washable under a running tap but must be removed before they are
cleaned in this way. Keep the body of the device dry at all times.
• To remove the blades ensure the unit is switched o. Push the blade set away from the
clipper body using your thumb (Fig A).
• To reattach once the blades are cleaned and dry, align the bottom of the blade with
the bottom blade housing tab and slide the cartridge back into place until you hear a
click.
