STEP 1 – NAPE OF THE NECK
•
Attach the 3mm or 6mm fixed comb
•
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 12mm or 16mm guide comb attached, cut the hair at the back of the head.
STEP 3 – SIDE OF THE HEAD
•
With the 3mm or 6mm guide comb attached, trim sideburns. Then change to the
longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut the top of the head.
STEP 4 – TOP OF THE HEAD
•
Use the longer length fixed combs of 22mm or 25mm to cut hair on top of the head
against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
•
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 fixed comb (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.
CARE FOR YOUR HAIRCLIPPER
AFTER EACH USE
•
To ensure long lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and unit
regularly.
•
Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplugged from the mains before
cleaning.
