Power screw

The power screw has been adjusted for peak efficiency before leaving the factory. However, if the voltage in your home is low, you may need to re-adjust it. To adjust power, use a screwdriver or a thin coin to turn the power screw in a clockwise direction until the arm strikes the coil, making a noise. Then, slowly turn the power screw out (counter-clockwise) just until noise stops. This is the maximum power setting.

Cutting guide

Never use the product to cut wet hair. It is designed to work on dry hair only.

Tips

Make sure that the clipper is clean, properly oiled and in perfect working condition. Place a towel around the neck of the person, to prevent hair from falling down inside the collar. Position the person whose hair is to be cut on a chair so that his/her head is at your eye level. Comb the hair to remove all tangles.

Cutting hair with attachments

(for medium to long cut)

To attach combs, hold comb with teeth up, snap comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the clipper blade.

Attachment comb 1 Leaves hair approx. 1/8 in length Attachment comb 2 Leaves hair approx. ¼ in length Attachment comb 3 Leaves hair approx. 3/8 in length Attachment comb 4 Leaves hair approx. ½ in length

At the beginning, cut only a small amount of hair until your hair becomes accustomed to the length each comb attachment leaves the hair.

Comb the hair into its natural direction.

Place the largest, attachment comb onto your clipper and start by trimming the sides from the bottom upwards.

Hold the clipper lightly against the hair with teeth of the attachment comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the clipper up and outward through the hair, cutting only a small amount at a time. Repeat around the sides and back of the head.

If you require short hair, change to a lower number attachment comb or apply more pressure and less lift away from the head with the present attachment comb.

Outlining

Outlining does not require any attachments. Take the clipper and push the lever up to the close cut-position. Comb hair into the style. Position clipper between the side burns and the ear. Make 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 side burns, hold the clipper upside down and holding it against the skin at the desired length, move downwards.

Short cuts to perfect crew cuts

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

Maintenance

Your clippers were examined to ensure that the blades were oiled and aligned before leaving our factory. Blades must be realigned if they have been removed for cleaning or replacement.

To realign the blades, simply match the upper and bottom blades teeth up, point for point. If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops of oil to the blades, turn the clipper on for a few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws after blade is aligned.

To maintain the clipper in peak condition, the blades should be oiled every few haircuts. Simply place a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades. Use only oil included in the pack. Due to the high speed of the clipper the correct oil must be used. Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with kerosene or any other solvent. Solvent will evaporate and leave the thick oil, which may slow down the blades. Clipper oil is a very thin, natural oil which will not evaporate and will not slow down the blades.

Adjustable lever

The lever is conveniently located near your thumb (if you are right handed), so that it can be easily adjusted while the clipper is in your hand.

The lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually change the closeness of your cut without an attachment comb.

When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you the closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever downwards gradually increases the cutting length.
