This quality haircutting instrument has been manufactured with extreme care. It
has been thoroughly tested and inspected before reaching the user. As with all
precision instruments, there may be a period of breaking in. If the speed of the
motor varies (as indicated by a change in sound or pitch), it is an indication of a
change in position of the clipper or a fluctuation in line voltage. When the clipper is
lubricated in accordance with instructions, it will deliver ample power and speed
for haircutting requirements.

VERY IMPORTANT: The blade must be cleaned and oiled
before, during and after each use with the provided cleaning
brush and lubricating oil for proper functioning.

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The top edge of the fixed blade must be a minimum of 1/32"(1 mm) higher than the top
edge of the moving blade as centered as possible. This is important so that the moving
blade does not come in contact with the skin.
Be sure to add a few drops of BabylissPro lubricating oil to the blades before running.
Don’t forget to tighten the screws after the blades have been aligned.

USER–MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADE

Always apply oil to the blades before, during and after use. This will ensure maximum
cutting performance and proper maintenance. Hold the clipper away from your body in
a downward position, and apply a drop of BabylissPro lubricating oil on the front and
sides of the cutter blade. Wipe off excess oil with a soft dry cloth.
Do not pull, twist, or wrap the supply cord around the appliance.

HOW TO USE CUTTING GUIDES

To use the comb attachments, turn the clipper to "O-OFF" position.
Slide the comb attachment onto the top of the clipper blade, and then
pull down and over the back of the blade. To remove, pull up on the
back of the comb attachment and then pull away from the blade.

REPLACEMENT (REMOVAL) OF BLADE SET

Step 1. Unplug the unit and adjust the taper lever (see illustration A).
Step 2. Remove the screws and the fixed blade. Save the screws.
Step 3. Lift off the small moving

blade (with white blade
driver), replace it with a
new one. Align the spring
with the spring hole and
accommodate the metal
driving pin into the slot
from the white blade driver
(see illustration B).

Step 4. Replace the fixed blade using the screws and lightly tighten them. Adjust the

teeth as shown in illustration C, to a gap of 1/32" (1 mm) to 1/16" (1.5 mm)
and the small moving blade as centered and parallel as possible to the fixed
blades teeth.

BLADE SHARPENING (MODEL BAB604RC)

BabylissPro cutting blades are ground from the finest quality steel with carbon and
are hardened to extend the cutting performance. As with any cutting appliance, the
cutting edges become dull from repeated usage. Increasing blade tension to force
the blade cutting that would cause the clipper to overheat and reduce its motor life.
When the blade no longer cuts smoothly, sharpening is required or replace it with new
BabylissPro blade set (model BAB604RC).

ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER

The taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can hold
the clipper in your hand and adjust the lever at the same
time – while you are clipping.

The taper lever adjusts the closeness of the cut from
a close cut with the taper lever in the up position, to
a longer length cut with the taper lever in the down
position. To increase cutting length, slowly push the lever down. To cut closer, push
the lever up. As different cutting edges are used in each setting, using the taper lever
lengthens the life of the clipper blades.

Too much hair can slow down hair clippers. Keep the clipper on for removing hair but
not the blades. Then push the taper lever back and forth quickly for several times. If
you do this every time, especially after much hair cutting, the clipper blades should
remain free of cut hair. Oil the blades after the above procedures.

Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination.

But did you know that an electrical appliance is still electrically live

even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on.

So when you are not using the appliances, keep them unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG SMALL APPLIANCES

WHEN NOT USING.

WARNING:

IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF

WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF,

YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER
