hazard, even when the unit is switched off.
● Do not use this product while taking a shower or bath. Always
unplug the device even close between 2 uses.
• When the unit is used in a bathroom unplug it after use since
the proximity of water presents a risk, even when the power is
off.
● To provide additional protection, in the electrical circuit
supplying the bathroom, a residual current device (RCD) with
a rated residual current not exceeding 30mA operation, is
recommended. Consult your installer.
NOTE: A thermal fuse, is not a residual current device (RCD).
• Do not use this product while taking a shower or bath.
• Always unplug the unit itself between two closely spaced
uses.
• For example: Stop the machine and unplug it if you drop it
while you dry.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN

TO KNOW ITS UNIT
GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIR AT HOME
Never use the product to cut wet hair, It is designed to work in dry condition only.
CUTTING HAIR WITH THE ATTACHMENT COMBS
For medium to long cut
● To attach combs, hold comb with teeth up, snap comb attachment
firmly to the bottom of the clipper blade,
● Attachment comb #1 --- leaves hair approx. 1/8’’
3mm Blending in length
● Attachment comb #2 --- leaves hair approx. 1/4" 6
mm in length
● Attachment comb #3 --- leaves hair approx. 3/8"
9mm in length
● Attachment comb #4 --- leaves hair approx. 1/2"
12mm in length
● Special angle comb is available.
● At the beginning, cut only a small amount of hair until you become
accustomed to the length each attachment comb leaves the hair.
● It is suggested to try the longest attachment comb on the clipper first,
then use the shorter one if the desired length is shorter.
● For uniform cutting, never push or force the clipper through the hair at
a fast rate. The clipper works most efficiently when it works at its own speed.
● Start by combing the hair in its natural direction,
10

● Place the largest, attachment comb onto your clipper and start by
trimming the sides from the bottom upwards.
● Hold the clipper lightly against the hair with teeth of the
attachment comb pointing up but flat against the head.
● Slowly lift the clipper up and outward through the hair,
cutting only a small amount at a time.(Fig. 1)
● Repeat around sides and back of head.(Fig.2)
● If you desire shorter hair, either change to a lower number
attachment comb or apply more pressure and less lift away from
head with the present attachment comb.
● This entire procedure requires practice, and it is always
better to leave too much hair the first few haircuts.(Fig.3)
● For the top of the head, you will give a fairly short cut if you
use the #4 attachment comb. With the teeth flat against the
head, slowly start trimming from the front to the back. Again, it is
better to leave the hair longer the first few haircuts.(Fig.4)
Outlining
● Outlining requires no attachment. Take the clipper and
push the lever up to the close-cut position.
● Comb hair into the style. Position clipper between the side
burns and the ear.(Fig. 5)
● Make sure the comer edge of the blade is against the
hairline. With the outline of the hair as your guide, slowly move
the clipper over, around, and behind the ears.(Fig.6)
● For the back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the
clipper upside down, (see sketch), and holding it against the
skin at the length desired, move downwards.
Short cuts to perfect flat tops, crew cuts
● Always cut from the back of the neck to the crown,
using the longest attachment comb. Holding it flat against
the head, slowly move the clipper up through the hair.
● Use the same technique for the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side of the head. (Fig.7)
● For the front to the crown, cut the hair against the
direction in which it grows. Then even it up with the
sides.(Fig.8)
● For a flat top, use a flat comb, not the attachment
comb. Just cut hair on top of the head over it.
11

● To taper hair down to the neckline, use closer cutting
attachment combs. Comb hair and check for uneven spots
and outline sideburns and neckline.(Fig.9)
If a short-tapered cut on the sides and back is desired,
follow the diagram below:
The four basic areas illustrated on the hair cutting guide are your "road map" to
easy do-it-yourself hair cutting.
MAINTENANCE
● Your clippers were carefully examined to ensure that the blades
were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory.
● Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or
replacement.
● To realign the blades, simply match the upper and
bottom blades teeth up, point for point.
● (End of top blade teeth) should be approximately
1.2mm back from bottom blade.
● Compare your clipper blades with the sketch)
● If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of oil to
the blades, turn clipper on for a few moments, turn off and
unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws
after blade is aligned.
OIL

● To maintain your clipper in peak condition, the blades
should be oiled every few haircuts.
● Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with kerosene or
any solvent. As the solvent will evaporate and leave the thick
oil which may slow down the blades motion.
ADJUSTABLE LEVER
● The lever is conveniently located near your thumb (if you're right
handed) so it can easily be adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.
● The lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually
change the closeness of your cut without an attachment comb.
12

● When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you
the closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever downward
gradually increases the cutting length.
● In its lowest position, the lever will leave the hair approximately the
same length as a #1 comb.
● The lever will also extend the use of your blades since
a different cutting edge is used in each setting.
● In addition, if extremely heavy hair cutting has jammed
the blades, it will help you remove hair that has become
wedged between the two
● blades without removing the blades.
● While the clipper is running, rapidly move the lever
from "close cut" to "longer cut" a couple of times. Doing this
each time after you have finished using your clipper will help
to keep the blades clear of cut hair.
● If your clipper stops cutting and this does not help, your
cutting blade are dulled. Replace them with new blades.
