BEFORE CUTTING HAIR
The blades of this clipper are designed to remain permanently lubricated. They
do not need oiling unless the blades are rinsed under water. We have aligned
the blades on your hair clipper prior to shipment. It is possible the blades
may be bumped out of alignment whilst in transit. Correct blade alignment is
essential for effective cutting. If the blades are out of alignment they can be
easily adjusted.
1. The end of the top blade should be closer to the body of the hair clipper
than the bottom blade. This is important so that the clipper doesn't cut too
close or allow the moving (top) blade to touch the skin.
2. The bottom blade should be as closely aligned as possible to the center of
the top blade.
3. If the blades are not correctly aligned, turn the clipper on for a few
moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen the two screws slightly and manually
adjust the bottom blade until it is aligned. Re-tighten the screws.
4. Ensure the hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight vibration, before
attempting to cut any hair.
GETTING STARTED
1. Make sure your clipper is operating correctly.
2. Place a towel around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed
or cut. This person should be seated so that the top of their head is at your
eye level.
3. Comb the hair as it is normally styled, be sure to comb out all knots and
tangles.
4. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your thumb resting
firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip proves comfortable cutting
control. Although the hair clipper may be used left or right handed, using it
right handed allows you to access the taper lever more easily.
5. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it
easier to see how much hair is being cut.
