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.

Your Hair Clipper features a 180° pivoting head to comfortably clip even hard-to-reach areas of your head.

► Charging, recharging, or using Clipper at

temperatures below 40°F or higher than 95‘'F adversely affects lifespan of the battery.

I If the appliance is subjected to a major change

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

I Do not charge/recharge or use Clipper corded

until fully dried.

Be certain Clipper is OFF.

B Insert the appliance plug directly into

the Clipper and plug the adapter into any 120V AC outlet (Fig. 1). Use only the cord provided.

B The Battery Light on the appliance will blink

white to indicate the Clipper is charging (Fig. 2).

I It will take approximately 1 hour to fully

charge the Clipper for a cordless clipping time of up to 60 minutes.

□ After the Clipper is fully charged, the

battery light will light up continuously. NOTE: After 30 minutes the battery light goes out.

H Disconnect the cord and unplug from

electrical outlet.

Corded Hair Clipping

I Only use the Clipper corded when the battery

is empty.

clipping.

Q Connect cord provided to Clipper (Fig. 1)

and plug Clipper into electrical outlet.

minutes before turning Clipper ON. B Press ON/OFF button to begin clipping. Q Turn Clipper OFF and unplug.

Cordless Hair Clipping

Q Charge according to directions. Unplug

Clipper from outlet and remove cord.

B Press ON/OFF button to begin clipping. B If the charge runs low while clipping, the

Battery Light will blink orange. Q If the charge runs out while clipping, simply

connect cord provided to Clipper and outlet

to continue clipping.

Hair Clipping

k Use this Clipper for its intended household

use as described in this manual,

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. 3).

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 Select the comb attachment depending on

the desired hair length.The table shows

the remaining hair length after clipping at the

different settings of the precision or regular

comb. The remaining hair length is also indicated on each comb (Fig. 4):

- Precision comb: 1-3mm (3/64 — 1/8 in.)

— Regular comb: 3-15mm (1/8 — 5/8 in.)

B Slide the selected comb into the guiding

grooves on both sides of the Clipper swivel

head and push until you hear it ‘click’ into

place (Fig. 5). Make sure the comb attachment locks properly into position.

B Turn the Hair Length Setting Adjustment Ring

to set the comb to the desired setting (Fig.

6). See Table 1 for settings. Do not turn the length setting adjustment ring beyond the highest hair length setting.

Throw your scissors away and put your new Hair Clipper to the test. We guarantee precise, professional results or Philips Norelco will refund you the full purchase price as long as the request is received within 45 days of purchase.

To Charge/Recharge

k Fully charge Clipper before using for the first

time or after non-use for a long period of time.

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 regular 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.

Using the rotating head

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. 8).

H Turn the rotating head left or right to the

desired clipping position. At each position you will hear a ‘click’ (Fig. 9).

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. 10).

Do not turn the rotating head more than 90° to

the left or right.

B Press the ON/OFF button 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. 11).

Q Always move the Clipper slowly against the

direction of hair growth.

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.

D For best results with curly, sparse or long

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

EE 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

► Use the Clipper without a comb attachment to

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

► Be careful when you are clipping without a

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

D Remove the comb by pulling it off the

rotating head (Fig. 12).

Never pull at the flexible top of the comb. Always

pull at the bottom part.

B To contour the hairline around the ears,

comb the hair ends over the ears.

B Press the ON/OFF Button to turn on the

appliance.

Q Tilt the Clipper in such a way that only one

edge of the cuttiing element touches the hair ends. Be careful not to trim too much. The hairline should be close to the ear (Fig. 13).

B To contour the neckline and the sideburns,

turn the Clipper and make downward strokes (Fig. 14).

NOTE: Move the Clipper slowly and smoothly. Simply follow the natural hairline.

B Adjust the position of the rotating head to

make contouring easier.

power supply cord from Clipper before cleaning.

agents, scourers or aggressive liquids such as gasoline, acetone or ethereal oils to clean the Clipper and attachments.

attachments with motor ON.
