Preparing for hair clipping
Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair. Do not use it
on freshly washed hair.
1
Make sure that the head of the person whose hair
you intend to cut is at the same level as your chest.
This ensures that all parts of the head are clearly
visible and within easy reach.

Comb the hair in the growth direction (Fig. 5).
Clipping with comb
The appliance comes with three combs for 15 different
hair lengths.
The minimum remaining hair length is 1.6mm and the
maximum remaining hair length is 41mm.

set to setting 1 (3mm) first.
-
Then clip the hair with the stubble comb for a hair
length of 1.6mm.

Slide the selected comb into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the handle ('click') (Fig. 6).

,
selected setting.
4
Switch on the appliance.
5
Move the appliance through the hair slowly.
-
To clip in the most effective way, move the appliance
against the direction of hair growth.
-
Since all hair does not grow in the same direction,
you need to move the appliance in different
directions (upward, downward or across) (Fig. 8).
-
Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always
fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even
result.
-
Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure
that you cut all the hair that needs to be cut.
-
To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a hand comb to guide the hair towards the
appliance.
6
Regularly remove cut hair from the comb.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove
the comb from the appliance and blow and/or shake the
hair out of it.
Contouring without comb
You can use the appliance without comb to clip hair very
close to the skin (0.6mm) or to contour the neckline and
the area around the ears.
Be careful when you clip without comb because the
cutting element removes every hair it touches.
1
Pull the comb off the appliance (Fig. 9).
2
Before you start to contour the hairline around the
ears, comb the hair ends over the ears.
3
Tilt the appliance in such a way that only one edge
of the cutting element touches the hair ends when
you shape the contours around the ears (Fig. 10).
Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to
the ear.
4
To contour the neckline and sideburns, turn the
appliance and make downward strokes (Fig. 11).
Move the appliance slowly and smoothly. Follow the
natural hairline.
Cleaning
Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive
cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such as petrol or
acetone or ethereal oils to clean the appliance.
Note: The appliance does not need any lubrication.
Clean the appliance every time you have used it.
