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.

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.
