How to Use

Charging (HC-920 and HC-930 only)

The HC-920 and HC-930 may be operated with or without the cord attached. For cordless operation, the unit should be fully charged first.Attach the cord to the unit and plug it in for 14 hours before 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. Blades should be replaced when cutting efficiency has deteriorated. Contact a Remington Service Center for a quotation.

HC-815, HC-8017, HC-912, HC-920,

HC-921, and HC-930 blades are lubed for life and do not require additional oil.

Oiling the HC-810’s Blades

■ We ha ve pre-oiled and aligned the

blades on your Remington

hair clipper.

■ The blades on your HC-810 hair clipper

should be oiled before every haircut. Simply place a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades.

■ Not applying

enough oil to the HC-810’s 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.

Before Cutting Hair

1. Make sure your hair clipper is oiled (if

model HC-810) and runnning smoothly, with a slight vibration.

Place a cape around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed or cut. (A cape is provided with models HC-920, HC-921, and HC-930.)

This 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 per-

form 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 righthanded 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” (7mm), 3/8” (9mm), 1/2” (12mm), 5/8”(15mm), 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.

G03-038 Haircut Kit I.B. 9/1/05 9:34 AM Page 6

4. If you have the HC-920, HC-921, HC-930, or HC-8017 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 front of the head to the back.This creates a tapered

effect around

the ears and back of the neck. To trim around the ears and short hairs

at the nape of the neck with the HC-810 and HC-815, you must remove the trimming guide. Angle the clipper and lightly stroke around each ear to the back of the neck. Be careful not to touch the ears or to press too hard.

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.

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.

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.

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,then remove the trimming guide and use the barber’s comb.Trim a little a t 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 barber’s 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.
