How to Use

Charging Your Hair Clipper

Note: Before using your clipper for the first time, charge the unit for 4 hours.

■ Clipper must be turned off.

■ Insert the adapter plug into the clipper and plug the adapter unit into a power

outlet. The indicator light will blink to indicate that it is charging. The indicator light will stop blinking and stay lit when the clipper is fully charged.

■ The clipper will be fully charged in 3–5 hours. A full charge provides 40

minutes of cordless use.

■ Do not allow to charge for an extended period of time.

■ If the clipper has not been used for a month or longer, it is advisable to

recharge it for 3–5 hours.

■ To preserve the life of the batteries, discharge them by running the clipper

until the blades stop. Switch off and fully recharge. Do this every six months.

■ Charge the clipper at temperatures between 40º–90ºF.

■ Lithium Ion batteries included. See battery removal section for

proper disposal of batteries.

Instructions For Cutting Hair

■ The clipper’s ergonomic design provides many different ways of holding the

clipper in use. Recommended ways of holding the clipper can be seen below.

Fig. 1 Fig. 4Fig. 3Fig. 2

■ For clipping the top of the head (see fig. 1).

■ For clipping the back of the head (see fig. 2).

■ For clipping the sides of the head (see fig. 3).

■ For detailing (see fig. 4).

■ For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the

hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb attachment.

■ For one all over cut length, attach the desired guide comb and slowly guide

the clipper through the hair against the direction the hair normally grows.

■ Remove the guide comb. To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns and

the base of the neck, reverse the hair clipper. Place the reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin and then work downwards.

The following instructions are for those users who want different trimming lengths on the sides, back and top of the head

STEP 1 – Nape of the neck

■ Use the 3mm or 6mm comb.

■ Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the

center of the head at the base of the neck.

■ Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trim-

ming just a little at a time.

STEP 2 – Back of the head

■ With the 9mm or 12mm comb, cut the hair at the back of the head.

STEP 3 – Side of the head

■ With the 3mm or 6mm comb, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9mm

guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.

STEP 4 – Top of the head

■ Use the longer length 12mm or 15mm comb to cut hair on top of the head

against the direction in which the hair normally grows.

STEP 5 – The finishing touches

■ Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the

base and sides of the neck and around the ears.

■ To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper.

■ Place the reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly

touching the skin and then work downwards.
