CONSEILS POUR DES COUPES À

RAS PARFAITES.

Attach combs by
holding the teeth
up, then snapping
onto the bottom of
the clipper blade.

To remove comb
attachments, place
index finger and
thumb as illus­trated; then pull out
and up.

NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper
through the hair to make it move more
quickly. Professional experience shows that
the clipper works most efficiently when it
cuts through the hair at its own speed.

To begin cutting hair:

1. The hair should be
combed in its natural
direction.

2. Using the largest
attachment comb, trim
sides from the bottom up­wards. Hold clipper lightly

against the hair with teeth
of the attachment comb pointing upward, yet
flat against the head. Gradually lift the clipper
upward and outward through the hair, trim­ming just a little at a time.

Remember, it’s better to leave too much hair
than too little. For longer hair on top, use
the barber comb and lift hair on the top of
the head, cutting over the comb. Or hold the
hair between the fingers and cut to desired

THE CONAIR GUIDE TO CUTTING
HAIR AT HOME

Before you start:

1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it’s free
of hair and dirt, properly oiled, and
running smoothly.

2. Place a towel or cape around the neck of
the person getting the haircut.

3. Seat the person so that his or her head is
at your eye level. This gives you greater
visibility and control.

4. First, comb hair until it’s tangle-free. Then
hold clipper in a comfortable grip. Now
you’re ready to cut.

MEDIUM TO LONG CUT

To begin with, cut only a small amount of
hair until you become used to the length each
attachment leaves the hair. Try the longest
attachment on the clipper first. If you want a
shorter cut, you can then use shorter combs.

/8”.

• Medium-Short attachment comb

(number 2) cuts hair to ¼”.

• Medium-Long attachment comb

(number 3) cuts hair to 3/8”.

• Long attachment comb (number 4) cuts

hair to ½”.

STOP. COMB. CHECK.

For best results, do as the professionals do:
comb hair often, and check clipping results as
you comb. This way you avoid uneven sides,
bangs, neckline, etc.

OUTLINING:

Outlining requires no attachments. Comb hair
into the desired style. Position the clipper
between the sideburns and the ear (Fig. 1),
making sure the corner edge of the blade is
against the hairline. With the outline of the
hair as your guide, slowly move the clipper
over, around and behind the ears. For the
back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the
clipper upside down (Fig. 1) and, holding it
against the skin at the length desired, move
the clipper downward.

length. Always working
from the front to the back
of the head, gradually cut
the hair shorter by reduc­ing the space between the
comb or fingers and the
head. Comb often to check
for uneven strands, and to

get rid of trimmed hair.
Repeat around sides and back of head.
If you want hair to be even shorter:

A) Apply more pressure

to the head with the
attachment comb that is
in place. This takes a little
practice, of course.

OR

B) Just switch to a shorter
attachment comb.

SHORT CUTS TO PERFECT FLAT
TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.

Always cut from the back of the neck to the
crown, using the longest comb setting. Hold
the comb attachment flat against the head
and slowly move the clipper up through the
hair. Use the same technique for the sides,
cutting from the bottom to the upper side of
the head.

USER-MAINTENANCE

INSTRUCTIONS

CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS

IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE

ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT:

Conair® hair clippers are carefully inspected
to insure that the blades are in perfect
alignment. You will need to realign the blades
after removing them for cleaning or replace­ment, or if they should be knocked out of
alignment. How can you tell if the blades need
realigning? Simply match them up, point for
point, to conform with the below drawing.

1. 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.

2. Position the extreme left-hand tooth of
the top blade so that it either covers, or
appears on the left of the first small tooth
on the bottom blade.

3. Make sure that the big tooth on the
bottom blade touches the extreme right­hand tooth on the top blade.

SPECIAL OIL

To maintain the blades of your Conair®
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 Conair®
oil included with your set. Turn the clipper on
for a minute, then turn off. This light, natural
oil was formulated specifically for the Conair

®

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 Conair oil. Keep oil out of the reach of
children.
