F HOW TO USE
, BEFORE STARTING THE CUT
• Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
• Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
• Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle free and dry.
, TO ATTACH A COMB
• Hold the comb with its teeth upward
• Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly sits against
the clipper blade.
, TO REMOVE THE COMB
• Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, firmly push the comb upward
and away from the blades.
F INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING
Note: For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do
not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb
attachment
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.

ENGLISH
STEP 3 – Side of the head
• Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns. Then change the setting to 9mm and
continue to cut the top of the head.
STEP 4 – Top of the head
• Use the longer length comb attachment and set it to 24mm or 27mm then cut hair on top
of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• For longer hair on top, use the longer length comb attachment (24 – 42mm) to achieve
the desired style.
• Always work from the back of the head.
STEP 5 – The finishing touches
• Use the clipper without an attachment 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.
, SHORT TAPERED STYLES – "FLAT TOPS" & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (24 - 42mm), 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.
F HAIR TEXTURE MECHANISM
• Simply adjust the hair texture mechanism by sliding the button at the top of the hair
clipper.
• Blending different length areas - Select the proper length guard to blend. Slide out the
hair texture mechanism (guard) which allows you to blend / thin out the area.
• Textured cut – Slide out the hair texture mechanism (guard) to give an all over textured
cut.
