2 Attach the comb attachment to the swivel
head (‘click’) (Fig. 8).
Make sure that the comb attachment locks into
position properly.
3 Turn the length setting adjustment ring
to set the comb attachment to the
desired setting (Fig. 9).
, The arrowhead on the appliance indicates
which setting you have selected.
Tip: Use different settings to create a natural and
smooth transition between the various hair lengths
from your neckline to the top of your head (Fig. 10).
Do not turn the length setting adjustment ring
beyond the highest setting.
4 Turn the swivel head to the position that is
most comfortable for your arm when you
clip the different parts of your head.
Using the swivel head
- From its starting position of 0° (pointing
forwards), you can turn the swivel head 45°
or 90° to the left or right. This enables you to
adjust the position of the cutting element to
the part of your head that you are clipping.
This makes it much easier to clip your own
hair (Fig. 11).
- To set the cutting element to the desired
position, turn the swivel head (‘click’) (Fig. 12).
Note: Always adjust the position of the cutting
element by turning the swivel head. Do not turn the
swivel head by holding the cutting element or the
comb attachment.
Note: Do not turn the swivel head more than 90° to
the left or right.
- The swivel head allows you to hold and
use the appliance like a styling comb (Fig. 13).
5 Press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance.
6 Move the clipper through the hair slowly.
7 Regularly remove cut hair from the comb
attachment.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb
attachment, remove the comb attachment from
the appliance and blow and/or shake the hair out
of it. When you remove the comb attachment, the
selected setting does not change.
Tips
- We advise you to start clipping at the highest
setting of the large comb attachment and to
reduce the setting gradually.
- To clip most effectively, move the appliance
against the hair growth direction.
- Since all hair does not grow in the same
direction, you need to move the appliance in
different directions (upwards, downwards and
across) (Fig. 14).
- Make sure that the at part of the comb
attachment is always fully in contact with the
scalp to obtain an even result.
- Write down the settings you use to create
a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future
clipping sessions.
Contouring without comb attachment
You can use the appliance without comb
attachment to clip your hair very close to the skin
(1mm) or to contour the neckline and the area
around the ears.
Be careful when you clip without comb
attachment because the cutting element removes
every hair it touches.
1 Pull the comb attachment off the swivel
head (Fig. 15).
Never pull at the exible top of the comb
attachment. Always pull at the bottom part.
2 Comb the hair ends over the ears before you
start to contour the hairline.
3 Press the on/off button to switch on the
appliance.
4 When you shape the contours around the
ears, tilt the appliance in such a way that only
one edge of the cutting element touches the
hair ends (Fig. 16).
5 To contour the neckline and the sideburns,
turn the appliance and make downward
strokes (Fig. 17).
Note: Move the appliance slowly and smoothly. Just
follow the natural hairline.
6 Adjust the position of the swivel head to
make contouring easier.
