Blade Care

The life of your clippers will depend
on frequency of use, care, hair type
and condition. The HC-1000
and HC-2000 have blades which
do not require additional oiling. The
HC-1050 has blades that require
additional oiling. To maintain the
blades in peak condition apply oil
after every three or four haircuts.
Place a few drops of the included oil
on the teeth of the blades. Turn the
clipper on for fifteen seconds then
turn off.

How to Use

Usage Tips

Before Cutting Hair

1. Make sure your hair clipper is

running smoothly, with a slight
vibration.

2. Place a cape around the neck of
the person whose hair is being
trimmed or cut. (A cape is provided
with model HC-2000).

3. This person should be seated so
that the top of their head is at your
eye level.

4. Comb the hair as it is normally
styled.

5. Comb out all knots and tangles.

6. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers

perform best with dry hair, making
it easier to see how much hair is
being cut.

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

To Attach Trimming Guides

1. Select the trimming guide that

matches the length you want
the hair to be after the cut. The
trimming guides are numbered
and marked with 1/8” (3mm), 1/4”
(6mm), 3/8” (9mm), 1/2” (12mm),
5/8”(16mm), 3/4”(18mm), and
1”(25mm). See preceding chart
to determine which combs your
model contains.

2. While the clipper is off, hold the
trimming guide with the teeth up.
Slide the trimming guide onto the
blades until it locks into place.

2. Repeat the same procedure for
each side of the head. Make sure
the length of the hair is trimmed to
the same length on both sides of
the head.

3. To cut the hair
at the top
of the head,
hold the hair
between your
fingers and
cut a small
amount at a
time. Cut from
the front to
the back.

4.

Remove the
trimming guide
and replace
with either the
left or right
ear guide.
The shorter
guide teeth are
designed to be
toward the ear.
Move the clipper from the back of
the head to the front. This creates a
tapered effect around the ears and
back of the neck.

Giving a Comfortable,
Even Cut

Allow the clipper to cut through the
hair without moving it too quickly.
Moving the clipper too quickly may
create a pulling sensation.
Use short strokes when cutting, and
initially use the longest trimming
guide. You can always use a closer
trimming guide later if you want a
closer cut.

How to Give a Haircut

1. Start at the back of the head.

Holding the clipper as shown,
lightly stroke upward making sure
you are taking off the desired
amount of hair. Work your way
up to the crown of the head in
layers. When
completed,
comb the area
to remove any
loose hair and
to determine
whether you
need any
further cutting.

5. The final trim can be made with
the hair clipper or the included
scissors. Make sure to check over
the entire head for any uneven
areas. For styled hair or giving
quick trims, you may prefer using
your hair clipper without the
trimming guide.

6. The adjustable taper control lever
allows you to gradually change
the closeness of your cut, either
with or without a trimming guide.
When the lever is fully forward the
blades will give you the closest
cut. Moving the lever gradually
backward increases the cut length.
(A taper lever is provided on
models HC-1050 and HC-2000)

Very short styles

1. Using the

1/2” (12mm)
trimming
guide, hold
the comb
flat against
the head and
move the hair
clipper from
the back of
the neck to
the crown of the head.

2. Cut in a similar manner from the
side to the top of the head. Then
cut from the front to the crown of
the head.

3. If a “Flat Top” style is desired,
remove the trimming guide and
use the barber’s comb. Trim a
little at a time until a flat look is
achieved.

Trimming Beards &
Mustaches

1. Comb your beard in the direction

it grows.

2. Determine
the length
you want
the beard
to remain,
and fit the
appropriate
trimming
guide.
Remember
the 1/8” (3mm) guide will give you
the shortest beard while the 1/2”
(12mm) or 1” (25mm) will give you

the longest. If you want a longer
beard you can use the comb as a
trimming guide.

3. Start trimming under your chin and
work toward your ear and beard
line. Cut in different directions for a
uniform trim.

4. Lightly stroke the edge of your
mustache in a downward
movement.
