1st Time Cutting Hair
The first time you cut hair, cut only a small
amount of hair until you become accustomed
to the length of hair each guide comb provides.
(See guide comb listing on page 4.)
• Start by attaching the largest guide comb
on the clipper.
• Then use shorter guide combs if a shorter
length is desired.
• For uniform cutting, cut at a slow, even speed.

2 Tapering 3
Get ready for cutting by
combing hair. Then attach
the largest guide comb
and make sure the taper
level is in the up position.
Begin cutting at the
hairline. Using upward
strokes, cut towards the
middle of the head.
NOTE: If hair is longer than
wanted, repeat this step
with one size smaller guide
comb.
Continue around the
head using upward
strokes.
Now you’re ready to cut
the middle section of hair.
Pick a guide comb one
number higher than what
you used for cutting the
hairline.
Using upward strokes, cut
the middle section around
the head.
Pick a guide comb one
number higher than what
you used for cutting the
middle portion of the hair.
Begin cutting from the
front.
Smoothing lines formed
from cutting is easy. Use
the same guide comb from
cutting the hairline with
taper level in down position.
Use a rocking motion to
blend out middle cutline. Using long strokes, cut
across top of head.
Comb out hair to see if you
need to do any extra
cutting.
Use the same guide comb
from cutting top of head
and blend top cutline.
Ear guide combs have a
taper built right in. Length
ranges from 1/8" to 1/2".
Attach left ear guide
comb to your clipper. Put
taper level in down
position.
Hold top of the ear down.
Hold clipper at a slight
angle. You will begin
cutting just behind ear
at the hairline.
