Philips QC5170/60 - Manual (Page 7)

Using the swivel head
I At the starting clipping position of 0° (pointing
forward), turn the swivel head 45° or 90° to
the left or right to adjust the position of the
cutter blades to the part of your head you are
clipping (fig. 6).
U Turn the swivel head left or right to the
desired clipping position. At each position you
will hear a ‘click’ (fig. 7).
Always adjust the position of the cutter blades
with the swivel head. Do not turn the cutter
blades or the comb attachment.
Q The swivel head allows you to hold and use
the Clipper like a brush (fig. 8).
Do not turn the swivel head more than 90° to the
left or right.
D
Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always in full contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result.
Q Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, move the Clipper slowly over the
crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,
downwards and across) to achieve an even
result (fig. 9).
H Always move the Clipper against the
direction of hair growth.
Q Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that all hair that should be cut has
been cut.
Q As you clip different areas of your head,
adjust the position of the swivel head so that
the swivel head position is most comfortable
for you.
fil For best results with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair
towards the Clipper.
□ Turn the Clipper off regularly during clipping
and remove the hair comb to blow and/or
shake out hair that has accumulated.
TIP: Write down the settings you have used to create
a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping
sessions.
