Put It To The Test

Like many new products, your Philips Norelco Hair Clipper may take a little getting used to. If you are using an electric Clipper for the first time, or if you've been using a different brand, take the time to acquaint yourself with your new Hair Clipper

B The arrowhead on the Clipper indicates

which setting has been selected. When you are clipping for the first time, start at the maximum clipping length setting (#5) of the comb to familiarize yourself with the appliance and prevent accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair Length Selector to desired trimming length.

k At the starting clipping position of 0” (pointing

forward), turn the rotating head 45° or 90° to the left or right to adjust the position of the cutting element to the part of your head you are clipping (Fig. 6).

a Turn the rotating head left or right to the

desired clipping position. At each position

you will hear a ‘click’ (Fig. 7). Always adjust the position of the cutting element by turning the rotating head. Do not turn the rotating head by holding the cutting element or the comb attachment.

B The rotating head allows you to hold and use

the Clipper like a styling comb (Fig. 8).

Do not turn the rotating head more than 90° to

the left or right.

B Push the ON/OFF switch up to turn on the

appliance. □ Make sure that the flat part of the comb is

always in full contact with the scalp to obtain

an even result.

B Since all hairs do not grow in the same

direction, move the Clipper slowly over the

crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,

downwards and across) to achieve an even

result (Fig. 9). Q Always move the Clipper slowly against the

direction of hair growth.

IMPORTANT: The power plug contains a transformer. Do not cut off the power plug to replace it with another plug as this will cause a hazardous condition.

Hair Clipping

k Use this Clipper for its intended household

use as described in this manual.

I Use and store the Clipper at a temperature

between 40°F and 95°F.

k If the appliance is subjected to a major change

in temperature, pressure or humidity, let the Clipper acclimatize for 30 minutes before using,

k If you are clipping someone else's hair, make

sure that the head of the person is at the same level as your chest so that all parts of his/her head are clearly visible and within easy reach,

k Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair, k Do not use on freshly washed hair, k Before you begin, comb the hair in the direction

of growth (Fig. 1 ).

k To achieve optimal clipping results, always move

the appliance slowly through the hair against the direction of hair growth.

Clipping with comb attachment

Be certain the Clipper is in the OFF position.

B Insert the appliance plug directly into the

Clipper and plug the adapter into any 120V

AC outlet. Use only the cord provided.

B Make overlapping passes over the head to

ensure that all hairs that should be cut are cut.

□ As you clip different areas of your head,

adjust the position of the rotating head so that the rotating head position is most comfortable for you.

□ For best results with curly, sparse or long

hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair towards the Clipper.

[E Turn the Clipper off regularly during clipping

and remove the hair comb to blow and/or

shake out hair that has accumulated. When you remove the comb, the selected setting does not change.

TIP: Write down the settings you have used to create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping sessions.

Contouring without a comb

attachment

k Use the Clipper without a comb to clip very

close to the skin (1/32 in/O.Smm).

k Be careful when you are clipping without a

comb as when the Clipper is turned on it will remove every hair it touches.

□ Remove the comb by pulling it off the

rotating head (Fig. 10).

pull at the bottom part.

strokes (Fig. 12). NOTE: Move the Clipper slowly and smoothly. Simply follow the natural hairline.
