How to Use

Be sure to read all safety instructions and warnings at the front of this manual before using this product.

Charging/Recharging

To recharge, use only the charging adapter provided.

■ Turn the clipper off. Insert the adapter plug into the bottom of the clipper, then plug the adapter into an electric outlet. The charging indicator will glow blue, indicating the unit is charging. A full charge will take approx. 14-16 hours. The low-battery indicator will glow red when the clipper needs to be recharged.

■ Your clipper cannot be overcharged. You may leave it plugged in between uses. However, if the clipper is not going to be used for an extended period (2 weeks), unplug the unit and recharge when resuming use.

■ Charge the clipper at temperatures between 40-90˚F to avoid adversely affecting battery life.

Before Cutting Hair

1. Make sure the hair clipper is

running smoothly and is charged.

2. Ensure the

hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.

3. Hold the hair clipper in the palm

of your hand similar to how you would hold a hairbrush.

Ultra Short Hair Length

The Shortcut Clipper comes with a balding comb attached. An adjustable guide comb for longer hair lengths is included. To use the balding comb, simply begin trimming your hair with a fully-charged clipper.

Selecting Hair Length Setting

The Shortcut Clipper has an adjustable guide comb that lets you change trim lengths simply by rolling the clipper’s zoom wheel.

■ Replace the balding comb attachment with the adjustable guide comb.

■ Roll the zoom wheel toward the top of the clipper to adjust for longer length, and toward the bottom of the clipper for shorter length. The wheel will click into one of five positions.

■ Begin trimming at one of the longest settings (#3 or #4) to avoid accidentally trimming hair too

short. As you become familiar with the settings, you can then select your desired length setting.

NOTE: The adjustable guide comb must be attached to the clipper in order to use the hair length selector.

To remove a comb:

■ Be sure the clipper is in the OFF position.

■ While holding clipper in one hand

and holding the zoom wheel to prevent it from turning, gently pull the comb away from the clipper. The combs can be removed and replaced on any setting.

To replace a comb:

■ Be certain clipper is in OFF

position.

■ While holding the clipper in one

hand, and holding the zoom wheel to prevent it from turning, slide the comb over the top of the clipper until it clicks into position.

NOTE: The combs can only be placed on the clipper one way; if the comb does not fit properly, remove and reverse it.

4. To trim around the ears and short

hairs at the nape of the neck simply press the release button and slide the pop-up detail trimmer outward. Be careful not to touch the ears or to press too hard.

5. Make sure to check over the entire

head for any uneven areas.

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 setting. You can always use a closer setting 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. When completed, move clipper over and cut down the head to the nape of the neck. The SCC-100R is a bidirectional hair cutter so you can cut in either direction.

2. Repeat the same procedure across

the back 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, cut from the front to the back in both directions until the hair is cut to the desired length.

Cleaning

Before You Begin

1. The hair clipper shall be detached

from the power supply cord before cleaning.

2. The hair clipper shall not be used

until it has dried.

How To Clean

1. First remove the attached comb

from the clipper by pulling it firmly away from the blades.

2. For best

3. Then use

4. This device can also be rinsed
