USING THE COMB GUIDES
IMPORTANT: Always attach the comb guide BEFORE turning the
clipper on. The contour following comb guide assists in creating an
even cutting result.
To attach a comb guide, first wind the rotary control (thumb wheel)
downwards, until it cannot be pushed down any further. Align the
comb guide by lining up the long sides of the guide with the sides
of the clipper. Insert side of guide into clipper and push down until
it ‘clicks’ into place.
To remove comb guide, first wind the rotary
control (thumb wheel) downwards, until it cannot
be pushed down any further. Turn clipper so that
the underside (back of unit) is facing towards you.
Holding the clipper with two hands, place thumbs
underneath the bottom of the comb guide and
push up until the guide ‘clicks’ out of position.
Telescopic comb guides (3mm to 30mm)
The I-clip features 2 telescopic comb guides with 18 precise length
settings (Comb guide grades #1-10) eliminating the need changing
and storing traditional comb guides.
Telescopic comb guide for shorter styles (3mm – 15mm)
Attach the comb guide as per instructions “Using the comb guides”
Use the rotary control (thumb wheel) to position the comb guide to
the required length.
Check the length setting (in mm) of your haircut through the
viewing window on the left side of the comb guide.
To remove the comb guide refer to “Using the comb guides”
Telescopic comb guide for longer styles (18mm – 30mm)

STARTING AND USING YOUR I-CLIP
Push the On/Off button to activate the clipper motor. The green
light on the LED display will illuminate to show power is on.
Wind rotary control (thumb wheel) up or down to adjust required
cutting length.
MOTOR MANAGEMENT TECHNOLOGY
The motor-management system delivers more power as needed, so
if there is a thicker section of hair where there is more resistance,
there will be more power delivered to the blades to maintain a
smooth cutting performance. The 5 bar LED on the front of the
clipper displays the motor – management system power level.
To turn the clipper off press the ON/OFF button
BEST CUTTING PERFORMANCE
1. Use on clean dry hair that has been combed until tangle-free.
2. Set the cutting length as required.
3. It is always best to start cutting with a longer grade first.
4. Hold the Clipper against the hair, the teeth of the comb guide
should be pointing upwards and flat against the
head.
5. Move the clipper upwards and outwards through
the hair, a little at a time, against the direction
of hair growth. (Fig 5)
6. The Clipper will work most efficiently when
cutting through the hair at its own speed. Never force through
the hair.
7. Never switch the clipper off whilst in the hair.
8. For longer hair on top of your head, you may wish to use the
barbers comb to lift the hair and then clip over the comb, or hold
the hair between your fingers and cut to the desired length.
• For the finishing touches, that is, around the
nape and sideburns, use the clipper without a
comb guide. Turn your clipper over and move it
from top to bottom. (Fig. 6)
• If you want a length greater than 30 mm, or if
you are experienced, you can create ‘comb’ or
‘finger’ cuts:
- Work without a comb guide.
- Take up a small section of hair with a comb or in your fingers.
- Move the comb or your fingers along the section of hair to the
desired length.
- Cut your hair along the comb or your fingers.
- Remove the cut hair using a comb and check the
evenness of the cut regularly. (Fig. 7)
9. Work around your head in sections.
THINNING AND TEXTURISING FUNCTION
• The thinning and texturising function makes hair less thick, and
gives a textured and choppy finished look.
1. Slide the switch at the top of the clipper to the «THIN» position.
2. The thinning comb appears in front of the blades.
3. Choose a comb guide, and set to the desired length.
4. Work in sections around your head.
5. On the top of your head, you may wish to use a longer length
setting on the comb guide, and lift your hair with the barbers
comb or your fingers at the same time.
