INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

initial supercharge ensures optimum power performance to give
smooth fast cutting every time. Maximum battery capacity will only
be reached after 3 charging/discharging cycles. A full charge will
provide approximately 75 minutes use. A 20 minute quick charge will
provide approximately 10 minutes use. When the clipper is running
low on charge, the charging indicator light will flash, warning you
there is approximately only 3 minutes left of use remaining.
When charging the appliance, the red LED charging light will
appear and continuously stay on until the battery has fully charge.
A green light will then appear to indicate that the appliance has
finished charging.

the appliance is faulty. If this happens then please stop charging
and remove the adaptor from the mains and contact our Customer

length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil
by gently dabbing with a cloth.

• For best performance, use on clean, dry hair that has been combed

• Ensure the appliance is sufficiently charged or plugged into the
mains.

Clipping
For an all over even cut:
• Attach a comb guide as required – your clipper is supplied with
10 comb guides (grades 1-8 and left /right ear). Each comb guide
is labelled.
• Switch the clipper on and the blades will start to move.
• Starting at the nape of the neck, hold the clipper with the teeth
of the clipper pointing upwards, ensuring that the comb guide is
resting flat against the head.
• Slowly move the clipper upwards and outwards through the hair
towards your crown, against the direction of the hair growth. The
comb guide will help to lift the hair and the blades will cut the
hair at the desired length.
• Once the desired length is achieved at the back of the hair, start
clipping the top and sides.
• Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing
towards the back of your head, and move the clipper towards
your crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front
and the sides of your head to the back.
• You should achieve an even length cut all over your head.
For a shorter back and sides, with length on the top:
• Attach the longer comb guide as required for the top of your hair
– your clipper is supplied with 10 comb guides (grades 1-8). Each
comb guide is labelled.
• Switch the clipper on and the blades will start to move.
• Hold the clipper to the front of your hair with the teeth pointing
towards the back of your head and move the clipper towards your
crown. Repeat as necessary, moving in rows from the front and
the sides of your head to the back.
• If you then wish to take the back and sides of your hair to a shorter
length, switch off the appliance and attach a shorter comb guide.

• Starting at the nape of the neck, with the comb guide flat against
the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area
you want to take shorter.
• Repeat on the sides of the hair, starting with the teeth of the
clipper pointing upwards and comb guide flat against the area
above the ear, again moving the clipper upwards and outwards.
Outlining:
• To tidy up the edges around your cut e.g. neckline and sideburns,
detach the comb guides.
• Hold the appliance upside down, so the front of the clipper is
facing towards your head.
• Hold the clipper straight on your sideburns or neckline and move
the clipper downwards. This will give you a clean, smooth finish.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
For easy cleaning, the blades on your VS For Men clipper are
removable. Regular cleaning will maintain their high performance
level.To clean proceed as follows:
• Switch the appliance off and unplug at the mains supply.
• Remove any comb guides. Rinse the comb guide under running
water and dry thoroughly before storage or use.
• Remove the blades carefully noting which way round they are
fitted. This will help with re-assembling.
• Remove the two screws from the large fixed blade and detach
this blade.
• Now brush away the hair and other debris from the interior of the
cutting head and blades.
• Re-assembly is simply the reverse of the above instructions.
• Finally, before fully tightening the two screws in the large blade,
to avoid injury ensure that the blades are correctly aligned. With
the taper control lever fully forward, the tips of the small blade
must be parallel with and 1mm below the tips of the large blade.
Also check that the extreme left hand tooth of the small blade is
inside the large blade. (Failure to do so could cause injury).
• Carefully tighten the two screws in the big blade, taking care not
to disturb the above correct position of the blades.
NOTE: Do not attempt to repair or replace the blades. In the event
that the blades become blunt or damaged, contact the Conair
CustomerCare Line (Conair Customer Service).
