ensure that the appliance catches all the hairs
that need to be cut.
- Write down which comb(s) you use to create a
certain hairstyle as a reminder for future
clipping sessions.

lot of hair has accumulated in the comb,
remove it from the appliance and blow and/or
shake out the hairs (see 'Cleaning').
