How to Use the Device

Line Cord Safety Tips

NOTE: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized outlet only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the outlet, reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician. Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.

To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from outlet. Do not pull or yank on the cord or appliance. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.

Taper Lever

How to Use the Device - Taper level operation
Use the Taper Lever to add versatility to your hair cuts by changing the closeness of the blades gradually. The Taper Lever has 6 length options with the fully forward position providing the closest cut. Moving the lever gradually backward increases the length.

Blade Care

The life of your clippers will depend on frequency of use, care, hair type, and condition. Use the cleaning brush to clean collected hair out of the blades as needed. To maintain the blades in peak condition, apply oil after every three to four haircuts. Place a drop of oil on each end and in the middle of the blade. Then, switch on to evenly distribute. Switch off. Then, wipe away excess oil.

To Attach Guide Combs

Select the trimming guide that matches the length you want the hair to be after the cut. The trimming guides are numbered and marked with specific lengths. See preceding chart to determine which combs are included.
While the clipper is off, hold the guide comb with the teeth up. Hook the front edge of the comb to the teeth of the clipper blade. Then, push the back of the comb down until it snaps in place.

To Remove Guide Combs

Pull small tab on rear of comb up and away from clipper.

Styling Guide

Before Cutting Hair

Make sure your hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight vibration.
Place a cape around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed or cut.
This person should be seated so that the top of his head is at your eye level.
Comb the hair as it is normally styled, removing all knots and tangles.
Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.
Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand with your thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip provides comfortable cutting control. Although the hair clipper may be used with the left or right hand, using it right-handed allows you to access the taper lever more easily.

Giving a Comfortable, Even Cut

Allow the clipper to cut through the hair at a moderate pace. Moving the clipper too quickly may result in discomfort or an inadequate cut. Use short strokes when cutting, starting with longer guide combs until you are comfortable with the length of the cut.

How to Give a Haircut

Start at the back of the head. Holding the clipper as shown, lightly stroke upward making sure you are taking off the desired amount of hair. Work your way up to the crown of the head in layers. When completed, comb the area to remove any loose hair and to determine whether you need any further cutting.
Repeat the same procedure for each side of the head. Make sure the length of the hair is trimmed to the same length on both sides of the head.
To cut the hair at the top of the head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a small amount at a time. Cut from the front to the back.
Remove the trimming guide and replace with either the left or right ear guide. The shorter guide teeth are designed to be toward the ear. Move the clipper from the front of the head to the back. This creates a tapered effect around the ears and back of the neck.
The final trim can be made with the hair clipper or the included scissors. Make sure to check over the entire head for any uneven areas. For styled hair or giving quick trims, you may prefer using your hair clipper without the trimming guide.
The adjustable taper control lever allows you to gradually change the closeness of your cut, either with or without a trimming guide. When the lever is fully forward the blades will give you the closest cut. Moving the lever gradually backward increases the cut length.

Very short styles

Using the 12mm trimming guide, hold the comb flat against the head and move the hair clipper from the back of the neck to the crown of the head.
Cut in a similar manner from the side to the top of the head. Then cut from the front to the crown of the head.
If a "Flat Top" style is desired, then remove the trimming guide and use the barber's comb. Trim a little at a time until a flat look is achieved.

Fade haircut

To use the fade combs to achieve a fade/blend hairstyle.
Select the fade comb that blends between two length settings chosen for your haircut and attach it to the clipper.
Move in a horizontal direction, either from the front to the back of the head or back to front of the head, blending the transition between the two different comb lengths. For example: if you choose a 9 mm length for the upper portion of the haircut and a 6 mm length comb for the middle portion of your haircut, then you would use the 6-9 mm fader/ blend comb. Position the comb with larger length side of the comb facing towards the top of the head or longer length of the hair cut and the shorter length of the comb facing downwards or the shorter length of the haircut.
