PREPPING YOUR
NEW TOOL
MAINS OPERATION
- A plastic cover has been placed over the plug to protect it from damage.
Remove the plastic cover before inserting into suitable power outlet. Ensure
your new clipper is switched off before plugging into a power outlet.
- Plug your new clipper into a suitable power outlet and switch the product on
by sliding the on/off switch to the ‘on’ position.
ADJUSTING THE POWER SCREW
The power screw allows you to adjust the power of your clipper.
To adjust the power screw - take a screwdriver or coin - turn the power
Screw counter clockwise until the arm strikes the
coil, making a clacking noise (Fig.1).
Then, turn the screw clockwise, until the noise stops and then turn
about 45 degrees more. This is the maximum power setting (Fig.2).

OILING THE BLADES
To get the sharpest, most precise cut, it is highly recommended to oil the blades
before each use.
Using the oil supplied with your new clipper, unscrew the cap & cut off the very
end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil.
Plug your clipper into a suitable power outlet and switch on. Gently squeeze the
oil tube & apply 2 drops of oil onto the blades. Leave the clipper on for a further
few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread across each of the blades.
Switch off the clipper & remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.

HOW TO USE
THE STYLE CUT
BEFORE USING
• Always inspect the clipper blades for noticeable signs of damage.
• Ensure the clipper blades are well oiled before using.
• Always inspect the clipper blades before use to ensure they are free from
hair, debris etc.
• For best performance use on clean, dry hair that has been combed until
tangle-free.
• Always check that the tips of the two blades are parallel and aligned
correctly. Correctly aligned blades will provide best cutting performance.
Failure to do this can result in injury.
ALIGNING THE BLADES
1. First you’ll need to remove the blades from your clipper. To remove the
blades simply unscrew the two screws located on the back of the blade (see
Fig.3). The two blades should then simply be removed from the clipper head.
Keep the screws aside for reapplying the blades to the clipper head.

Blade screws
Small blade (cutter)

2. To realign the blades, simply match them up, point to point. The top edge of
the large blade should be 0.5mm to 1.2mm higher than the top edge of the
small blade (see Fig.4). This is important so that the clipper does not cut too
close, or come into contact with the skin.
3. The extreme left-hand tooth of the large blade must cover or be to the
extreme left hand of the first small tooth on the small blade. Be sure that the
extreme right-hand tooth of the large blade touches the extreme right-hand
tooth of the small blade.
4. To re-attach the blades to the clipper head, simply slide the small blade
on to the white oscillating head, making sure that the small blade and large
blade are still properly aligned. Line up the large blade with the two screw
holes. Place the original screws, one in each hole and lightly tighten with a
Philips head screwdriver until secure.
5. The clipper is now suitable for use.

• To attach a comb guide, ensure the appliance is switched off. Position the
comb guide over the front of the clipper blade and slide over the head. Push
and click the rear of the comb guide into position.
• To remove the comb guide, ensure the appliance is switched off. Push the tab
on the rear of the comb guide away from the head and lift off.
• To attach the ear comb guides, choose either the left or right guide depending
on which ear you are cutting above. Angle the clipper and gently stroke around
the ear towards the back of the neck.

CLIPPING TIPS
Hit up www.vsformen.com.au for more grooming tips, inspiration & guidance on
how to get the best use of your clipper.
CREATING AN ALL-OVER EVEN CUT
1. Ensure the clipper is switched off.
2. Attach the desired cutting comb guide as required.
3. Switch the clipper on – the blades will start to move.
4. Start cutting at the nape of the neck, holding the clipper with the teeth of
the clipper pointing upwards, ensuring that the comb guide is resting flat
against the head.
5. 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 to the length as shown on the
comb guide.
6. Once the desired length is achieved at the back of the hair, start clipping the
top and sides.
7. 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.

CREATING A SHORT BACK & SIDES LOOK, WITH
LENGTH ON THE TOP
1. Ensure the clipper is switched off.
2. Attach the desired cutting comb guide as required.
3. Switch the clipper on – the blades will start to move.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. Start cutting at the nape of the neck, and with the comb guide flat against
the head, move the clipper upwards and outwards over the area you want to
take shorter.
7. 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
1. To tidy up the edges around your cut e.g. neckline and sideburns, detach the
comb guides.
2. Hold the clipper upside down, so the front of the clipper is facing towards
your head.
3. Hold the clipper straight on your sideburns or neckline and move the clipper
downwards. This will give you a clean, smooth finish.

CLIPPER CLEANING &
MAINTENANCE
Because the clipper blades are precision made for a very special use, they
should always be handled with care. To ensure long-lasting performance of your
clipper, it is important to clean the blades + the comb guides after every use.
After each use, clean the clipper blade set as follows:
1. Switch the clipper off and unplug from the power outlet.
2. Using the cleaning brush, gently brush and blow any hairs from the blade set
and head of your clipper.
3. Remove the blades carefully noting which way round they are fitted (see
ALIGNING THE BLADES for more detail).
Never place the blades under running water, as this can ruin the cutting
performance of the blades. Always use the cleaning brush to clean the
clipper head.
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).
