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.

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

D
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).
Never pull at the flexible too of the comb. Always
pull at the bottom part.
B To contour the hairline around the ears,
comb the hair ends over the ears.
PHILIPS
B Push the ON/OFF switch up to turn on the
appliance.
□ Tilt the Clipper in such a way that only one
edge of the cutting element touches the hair ends. Be careful not to trim too much.The
hairline should be close to the ear (Fig. 11).
B To contour the neckline and the sideburns,
turn the Clipper and make downward
strokes (Fig. 12). NOTE: Move the Clipper slowly and smoothly. Simply follow the natural hairline.
Q Adjust the position of the rotating head to
make contouring easier.
