TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME

THE GE GUIDE

Before you start:

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

2. Place 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 tangle­free. 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
comb and put the taper control at the
highest setting. If you want a shorter
cut, you can then use shorter combs.

• Short attachment comb (number 1)
cuts hair to 1/8".

• Medium-Short attachment comb
(number 2) cuts hair to 1/4".

• Medium-Long attachment comb
(number 3) cuts hair to 3/8".

• Long attachment comb (number 4)
cuts hair to 1/2".

• Left ear attachment comb lightly
tapers over left ear.

• Right ear attachment comb lightly
tapers over right ear. These combs
make this part of the haircut easier.

Attach combs by
holding them 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 upward.

Hold clipper lightly
against the hair with
teeth of the attach­ment comb point­ing upward, yet flat
against the head.
Gradually lift the clip
per upward and out-

ward through the
hair , trimming justa
little at a time.

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.

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
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 .

­OUTLINING

Outlining requires no attachments.
Comb hair into the desired style.
Position the clipper between the side­burns and the ear (see below), 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 (see above) and,
holding it against the skin at the
length desired, move the clipper
downward.

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.

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.

For the front to the crown, cut the
hair against the direction in which it
grows, then even it up with the sides.

For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the
attachment comb. Just cut hair on top
of the head over flat comb (see above).

To taper hair down to the neckline,
use attachment comb #1. Comb hair
and check for uneven spots. Outline
sideburns and neck areas (see “Out­lining”).

CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS
IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE

ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT:
GE hair clippers are carefully exam-

ined to insure that the blades are in
perfect alignment. You will need to
realign the blades, of course, 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

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 Lubri­cating Oil (included).

2. Turn clipper on for a minute to
disperse oil evenly over blades, then
turn off.
