To oil the blades ensure the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the

Preparation for Use
• Always inspect the appliance before use to ensure the clipper
blades are free from hair, debris etc.
• For best performance, use on clean, dry hair that has been combed
until tangle-free.
• Ensure the appliance is sufciently charged or plugged into the mains.
Clipping
For an all over even cut:
• Attach a comb guide as required – your clipper is supplied with 8
comb guides (grades 1-8). 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 8 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 at 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 nish.

USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS
IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT:
VS For Men hair clippers are carefully inspected to insure that the
blades are in perfect alignment. Of course you will need to realign
the blades after removal for cleaning or replacement, or if they
should be knocked out of alignment. How can you tell if blades
need realigning? Simply match them up, point for point, to conform
with FIG. 1 below:
FIG. 1
FIG. 2
To prevent the clipper from contacting the skin or cutting too
closely, make certain that the end top blade teeth are 1/32” to
1/16” back from bottom blade.
To Align Blades:
1. Add two or three drops of VS For Men Lubricating Oil
(included).
2. Turn clipper on for a minute to disperse oil evenly over
blades, then turn off.
3. Unplug clipper and slightly loosen screws. (See FIG. 2)
4. Position the extreme left-hand tooth of the top blade so that it
either covers or appears on the left of the rst small tooth on the
bottom blade.
5. Make sure that the big tooth on the bottom blade touches the
extreme right hand tooth of the top blade.
SPECIAL OIL
To maintain the blades of your VS For Men
clipper, oil them after every three or four haircuts. Gently place a

few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades, using the special oil
included with your set. Turn the clipper on for a minute, then turn
off. This light, natural oil was formulated specically for the VS For
Men high-speed
clipper. Because it is the right oil to use, it will not slow down the
blades. Never use any other product. There is no substitute for oil.
Keep oil away from children.
