How to Use
Line Cord Safety Tips
NOTE: This appliance has a polarized
plug (one blade is wider than the
other). As a safety feature, this plug
will fit in a polarized outlet only one
way. If the plug does not fit fully in
the outlet, reverse the plug.
If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to
defeat this safety feature.
1. To insert plug, grasp it firmly and
guide it into outlet.
2. To disconnect the appliance, grasp
the plug and remove it from outlet.
Do not pull or yank on the cord or
appliance. Do not wrap the cord
around the appliance.
Blade Care
The life of your clippers will depend
on frequency of use, care, application
of oil, and hair type and condition.
The HC-8017B has blades which do
not require additional oiling.
Oiling the Blades (HC-70)
■ We have pre-oiled and aligned the
blades on your Remington
®
hair
clipper.
■ The blades on your hair clipper
should be oiled
before every
haircut. Simply
place a few
drops of oil on
the teeth of
the blades.
■ Turn unit "on" to distribute oil
evenly.
■ Not applying enough oil to the
blades generally causes cutting
problems. Blades will wear
prematurely and not cut properly if
they are not sufficiently lubricated.
There may also be a pulling
sensation on the hair.
Oil Cautions
■ Use only the light-grade oil
supplied or a suitable alternative
like sewing machine oil.
■ Do not use hair oil, grease, or any
oil mixed with kerosene or solvent,
as the solvent will evaporate and
leave the thick oil, slowing the
blades.

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),
7/8”(22mm), 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.

Before Cutting Hair
1. Make sure your hair clipper is oiled
(if required) and runnning 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-8017B).
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.
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.
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.
Usage Tips
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.
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.
