Introduction
.
Dear customer, you have made the right choice! Your new Philips hair
clipper adapts to the contours of the head and enables comfortable use.
To enjoy using the hair clipper for a long time, we advise you to read the
following information.
Important
.
Read these instructions for use carefully before using the appliance and save
them for future reference.
◗ Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter corresponds to the
mains voltage in your home before you connect the appliance.
◗ This appliance is suitable for mains voltages from 220 to 240 volts.
◗ Only use the adapter supplied.
◗ The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut off the adapter to
replace it with another plug, as this will cause a hazardous situation.
◗ Do not use a damaged adapter.
◗ If the adapter is damaged, always have it replaced by one of the
original type in order to avoid a hazard.
◗ Do not use the appliance when one of the attachments is damaged or
broken as this may cause injury.
◗ Keep the appliance and the adapter dry (fig. 1).
◗ Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.
◗ Use, charge and store the appliance at a temperature between 15c
and 35c (fig. 2).
◗ Do not recharge the appliance in a closed pouch.
◗ This appliance is only intended for clipping human hair. Do not use it
for any other purpose.
Charging (HQC333 only)
.
Charge the appliance for at least 12 hours.
A fully charged appliance has a cordless operating time of up to 35 minutes.
Do not charge the appliance for more than 24 hours.
1 Make sure the appliance is switched off while charging.
2 Insert the appliance plug into the appliance (fig. 3).
3 Insert the adapter plug into the wall socket.
◗ The pilot light will go on to indicate that the appliance is charging
(fig. 4).
Optimising the lifetime of the battery
- Discharge the battery completely twice a year by letting the motor run
until it stops.
- Remove the adapter plug from the wall socket when the battery is fully
charged.
Corded clipping
.
◗ To use the hair clipper connected to the mains: Switch the hair
clipper off, connect it to the mains and wait a few seconds before
switching it on.
HQC333 only: Do not run the appliance from the mains when the battery
is fully charged.
Using the appliance
.
◗ Before you start clipping, make sure the head of the person whose
hair you are cutting is at the same level as your chest (fig. 5).
◗ To get the best results, use the hair clipper only on dry hair. Do not
use it on freshly washed hair.
◗ First comb the hair into the direction of hair growth.
◗ Always move the clipper against the direction of hair growth,
otherwise it will not cut the hair properly (fig. 6).
◗ Move the clipper through the hair slowly.
Clipping with comb attachment
1 Slide the comb attachment onto the rails on the appliance until you
hear a click (fig. 7).
Select the small or large (HQC333 only) comb attachment, depending on
the desired hair length (see table).
2 Make sure that the arms of the comb attachment have been properly
slid onto the rails on both sides.

◗ Hair length settings
The hair length settings are indicated in millimetres on the arms of the
comb attachment. The settings correspond to the remaining hair length
after cutting.
3 Start at the setting for maximum hair length (41 mm for HQC333 /
21 mm for HQC222).
4 Make sure that the flat part of the comb attachment is always fully in
contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result (fig. 6).
5 Pass the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to
achieve an even cutting result.
6 Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper
catches all the hairs that need to be cut.
7 Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time so
that the clipper can catch the hair more easily.
8 To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long hair, you can use
a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper.
B
We advise you to regularly remove clipped hair from the comb while clipping.
Graduation
The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut the hair evenly at the
same length all over the head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth
transition from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair on the back
and sides of the head.
1 Start clipping at the setting for maximum hair length (i.e. position
41 mm for HQC333 / 21 mm for HQC222).
2 Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of the
head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer.
3 You can repeat this procedure until the hair on every part of the
head has the desired length.
Precise contouring without comb attachment
You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the neckline
and the area around the ears.
Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment, for the clipper
will remove every hair it touches.
1 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the clipper.
2 Before contouring the hairline round the ears, comb the hair ends
over the ear.
3 Bend the person's ear to get it out of the way.
4 Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the cutting
element touches the hair ends (fig. 8).
5 Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear (fig. 9).
6 To contour the nape hairline and the sideburns, turn the clipper and
make downward strokes (fig. 10).
7 Move slowly and smoothly.
8 Just follow the natural hairline (fig. 11).
Cutting over styling comb or fingers
This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths over 41 mm ( HQC333)
and 21 mm (HQC222). Bear in mind that this technique is difficult to
master and should only be applied by experienced users.
1 Make sure the comb attachment is not attached to the appliance.
2 Comb a small section of hair upwards. Lift the hair with a styling
