Always working from the front to the
back of the head, gradually cut the hair
shorter by reducing the space between
the comb or fingers and the head. Comb
often to check for uneven strands, and to
get rid of trimmed hair. For thicker hair
and more cutting power, press the turbo
button on the side.
OUTLINING
Outlining requires no attachments. Comb
the hair into the desired style, position
the clipper between the sideburns and
the ear (see sketch) and make sure the
corner edge of the blade is against the
hairline. With the outline of the hair as
your guide, slowly move the clipper over,
around and behind the ears. For the back
of the neck and the sideburns, hold the
clipper upside down (see sketch) and,
For longer hair on
top, use the barber
comb and lift hair on
the top of the head,
cutting
over
comb, or hold hair
between fingers and
cut to desired length.
holding it against the skin at the length
desired, move the clipper downward.
For best results, do as the profession-
the
als do: comb the hair often and check
results as you comb. This way you can
avoid uneven sides, bangs, neckline, etc.
SHORTCUTS TO PERFECT FLAT
TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.
Always cut the hair from the back of the
neck toward the crown, using the longest
comb setting. Hold the comb attachment
flat against the head and slowly move the
clipper up through the hair. Use the same
technique for the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side of the head.
For the front of the crown, cut the hair
against its natural direction. Then even it
up with the sides.
For a flat top use a flat comb, not the
attachment comb. Just cut top hair by
running the clipper over the comb.
To taper hair down to the neckline, use
the lower settings attachment comb.
Comb the hair and check for uneven
spots. Outline the sideburns and neckline
areas (see Outlining).
STOP. COMB. CHECK.
