For the front to the crown, cut the hair against
the direction in which it grows.Then even it up
with the sides.
For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the
attachment comb. Just cut hair on top of the
head over the flat comb. (Fig. 2).
To taper hair down to the neckline, use
attachment comb #1. Comb hair and check for
uneven spots. Outline sideburns and neck areas
(see "Outlining").

USER MAINTENANCE
CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS
MAINTENANCE OF THE BLADE
Always apply oil to the blades before, during
and after use. This will ensure maximum cutting
performance. Hold clipper away from your body
in a downward position and apply oil on the front
and sides of the cutter blade.
Wipe excess oil off with a soft dry cloth. Conair
hair clippers are carefully inspected to insure
that the blades are in perfect alignment. You will
need to realign the blades after removing them
for cleaning or replacement, or if they should be
knocked out of alignment. How can you tell if the
blades need realigning? Simply match them up,
point for point, to conform with the drawing be-
low. To replace cutting comb and cutter after re-
moval for cleaning, replacement or, because they
are out of alignment, slide the cutter back on to
the black plastic oscillating head. Next, you must
make sure that the cutter (small blade) and the
cutting comb (large blade) are properly aligned.
Line up the new or existing cutting comb with
the two screw holes. Place the original screws,
one in each hole, and lightly tighten with a
Phillips head screwdriver.

Then, match the two blades up, point to point,
conforming with the illustration below in (Fig. 4).

*The top edge of the cutting comb should

be 1/32" to 1/16" (.79 mm. to 1.59 mm.)
higher than the top edge of the cutter. This is
important so that the clipper does not cut too
close, or come in contact with the skin.
