Important

Read these instructions for use carefully before you use the appliance and save them for future reference.

Check if the voltage indicated on the adapter

corresponds to the local mains voltage before you connect the appliance. Only use the adapter supplied to charge the

appliance. The adapter contains a transformer. Do not cut

off the adapter to replace it with another plug, as this causes 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 hazard. Do not use the appliance when one of the

attachments is damaged or broken, as this may cause injury. Use, charge and store the appliance at a

temperature between 15°C and 35°C. Keep the appliance and the adapter dry.

Keep the appliance out of the reach of children.

This appliance is only intended for clipping human

scalp hair. Do not use it for another purpose. If the appliance is subjected to a major change in

temperature, pressure or humidity, let the appliance acclimatise for 30 minutes before you use it.

Using the appliance

1 Comb your hair with a styling comb in the

direction of hair growth. (Fig. 3)

Clipping with comb attachment

Use the small or large comb attachment, depending

on the desired hair length. The remaining hair length after cutting is indicated in mm on the comb attachments. The selected hair length setting (1-5) is shown in the two length setting indication windows on both sides of the length selector. (Fig. 4)

Tips

We advise you to start clipping at the highest setting

of the large comb and to reduce the hair length setting gradually.

If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb

attachment, remove it from the clipper and blow

and/or shake the hair out of it. When you remove

the comb attachment, the hair length setting does not change. Write down the hair length settings you use to

create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping sessions.

1 Move the clipper through the hair slowly.

The hair on different parts of your head grows in

different directions. You may want to try different clipping directions (upwards, downwards and across). (Fig. 10) To clip in the most effective way, move the

appliance against the direction of hair growth.

2 Turn the swivel head to the position that is most

comfortable for your arm when clipping the different parts of your head.

3 Make sure that the at part of the comb

attachment is fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.

Clipping without comb attachment

You can use the clipper without comb attachment to clip

your hair very close to the skin (0.8mm) or to contour the neckline and the area around the ears.

Note:When you use the hair clipper without a comb attachment, the clipper cuts the hair very close to the skin.

1 Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the

appliance. (Fig. 11)

Never pull at the exible top of the comb attachment.

Always pull at the bottom part.

2 When you contour the hair around the ears, only

cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear. (Fig. 12)

3 To contour the neckline and the sideburns, turn the

clipper and make downward strokes. (Fig. 13)

4 Move slowly and smoothly. Just follow the natural

hairline.

5 Adjust the position of the swivel head to make

contouring easier.

Using the precision trimmer

You can use the appliance with the precision trimmer to

contour the neckline and the area around the ears more

easily and more precisely.

1 Make sure the appliance is switched off.

2 Remove the comb attachment. (Fig. 11)

3 Apply pressure to the centre of the cutting element

to open it. (Fig. 14)

4 Place the lug of the precision trimmer into the

slot and push the cutting element back onto the appliance (‘click’). (Fig. 15)
