upwards, yet flat against the head.

at a time clipping against the direction of the hair growth.

hair at its own speed. Never force the clipper.

power.

the blade and head.
4. Replace the head as shown on next page fig. 2. Make sure that the
taper lever is set to the lowest position before replacing blade.
5. Do not disassemble the blades for cleaning.
When used regularly, the clipper blades will not need to be oiled.
However, if the clipper has not been used for a prolonged period
of time, it is advisable to oil the blades before use. After cleaning,
switch the appliance on, and oil the blades by adding a few drops
of the oil supplied over the blades. Only use the lubricating oil
supplied with this appliance as this is specifically formulated for
high speed clippers and does not evaporate or slow the blades.
