Note: This clipper is not intended for professional use.

Before Cutting Hair

1. Make sure your hair clipper is operating correctly.

2. The vacuum feature will not function properly if the hair chamber is removed.

3. The person should be seated so that the top of his 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.

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. As the clipper cuts the hair, the vacuum sucks the clippings through the inlet into the hair chamber.

■ 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

STEP 1 – Nape of the neck

• Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm.

• Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.

• Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

STEP 2 – Back of the head

• With the comb set at 12mm or 18mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

Using the fade guide: Work the fade guide, with the wider teeth

upwards, into the hair from one side. Run the clipper over the guide to clip the hairs poking through. Keep the guide at the same height as you work your way around the head.

How to Use

1. Guide combs should be installed by first hooking the blade teeth to front side of guide comb. Then press the back of the guide comb down until it snaps into place.

2. Ensure comb is attached before beginning to cut hair.

3. To remove, pull the snap tab on back side of guide comb and pull the comb off.

STEP 3 – Side of the head

• With the comb set at 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns. Then change to the longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut up to the top of the head.

• To trim around the ears, 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. Hold the ear forward to keep it out of the way. Move the clipper from the back of the head to the front. This creates a tapered effect around the ear and back of the neck.

STEP 4 – Top of the head

• With the 18mm or 22mm guide comb attached, cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.

Note: For longer desired lengths of more than 22mm, place

finger over hairs and guide into the guide comb and blade to better guide the hair trimmings into the vacuum chamber.

• Always work from the back of the head.

STEP 5 – The finishing touches

• 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.

• Use the clipper without a guide comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.

• 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.

Using the neck liner: With the handle side up, place and hold

the neck liner just above where you want to create a clean trimming line. Use the clipper without a guide comb to trim the neck hairs up to the liner.

Emptying Hair Chamber:

1. Turn off the unit.

2. Hold the unit from the back end of unit, cradling the bottom with one hand.

3. Push the chamber release button with your gripping hand thumb and with your other hand rotate and then lift the chamber off.

4. To empty contents grip the chamber securely in hand with opening facing down over desired collection container. Shake chamber up and down, but stopping rapidly on the down stroke. This may have to be repeated several times.

5. You may have to vigorously shake the chamber or scoop out some of the compacted hair clippings.

6. Be careful not to puncture the screens on the hair chamber while emptying the unit.

7. The mesh side of the vacuum chamber can be opened to aid in hair removal and cleaning of the mesh.

The mesh can be brushed or rinsed under water to be cleaned; however it needs to

be completely dry before it is reattached to the unit.

8. Once finished emptying, place the chamber back onto the unit by putting the scoop end in first and then gently rotating the mesh end back into place until it clicks.

Longer Styles

• For optimum performance do not trim hair 18mm or longer with one pass of the clipper.

• When cutting hair 18mm or longer use a finger on your free hand in between the comb and clipper to guide hair into the blade by applying slight pressure. As you move the clipper up to cut, your finger will help keep the longer hairs from slipping away before they can be cut. If the hair extends well past the hair collection chamber opening, place your finger on top of the chamber near the opening.

Short Tapered Styles – “Flat Tops” and Short Cuts

• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (25mm), cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair.

• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head.

• Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.

• To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat comb.

• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
