BEFORE CUTTING HAIR

The blades of this clipper are designed to remain permanently lubricated. They
do not need oiling unless the blades are rinsed under water. We have aligned
the blades on your hair clipper prior to shipment. It is possible the blades
may be bumped out of alignment whilst in transit. Correct blade alignment is
essential for effective cutting. If the blades are out of alignment they can be
easily adjusted.

1. The end of the top blade should be closer to the body of the hair clipper
than the bottom blade. This is important so that the clipper doesn’t cut too
close or allow the moving (top) blade to touch the skin.

2. The bottom blade should be as closely aligned as possible to the center of
the top blade.

3. If the blades are not correctly aligned, turn the clipper on for a few
moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen the two screws slightly and manually
adjust the bottom blade until it is aligned. Re-tighten the screws.

4. Ensure the hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight vibration, before
attempting to cut any hair.

GETTING STARTED

1. Make sure your clipper is operating correctly.

2. Place a towel around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed
or cut. This person should be seated so that the top of their head is at your
eye level.

3. Comb the hair as it is normally styled, be sure to comb out all knots and
tangles.

4. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your thumb resting
firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip proves comfortable cutting
control. Although the hair clipper may be used left or right handed, using it
right handed allows you to access the taper lever more easily.

5. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it
easier to see how much hair is being cut.

5

TO ATTACH & REMOVE THE TRIMMING GUIDES

Select an appropriate length trimming guide to match the desired length of
hair to remain after the cut. The trimming guides are numbered and marked
with 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 18mm, 22mm, 25mm, Left Ear and
Right Ear. Hold comb with teeth up, slide the attachment firmly onto the bottom
clipper blade.

To remove the attachment, use the latch at the back of the comb to lever it
away from the back of the hair clipper. DO NOT grasp the comb from the front
as this may cause the guides to bend or break.

TIPS FOR CUTTING HAIR

• Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without forcing it at a faster rate, as
this may create a pulling sensation.

• Use short strokes when cutting and initially use a long trimming guide. You
can always use a closer trimming guide later if you want a closer cut.

• Start at the back and around the ears to define the length of the head and
work your way up to the crown of the head in layers.

• To cut the top of the head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a
small amount at a time with scissors, or with a long trimming guide on the
hair clipper. Cut from the front to the back.

• Remove trimming guides from the clipper and use the clipper to carefully
trim around the ears and short hairs at the nape of the neck. Angle the
clipper around each ear and be careful not to touch the ears of press too
hard.

• Use the taper lever to adjust the closeness of the cut without the trimming
guides, or to blend between hair layers with the trimming guides attached.

STORAGE

When not in use, unplug the appliance and store out of reach of children in a
safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance as this will cause
the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle the cord carefully for long life,
and avoid jerking, twisting or straining especially at plug connections.

The Hair Clipper conforms to radio frequency interference requirements.
