Philips QC5055 - Manual (Page 6)

Hair Clipping
I Use this Clipper for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
I Make sure that the appliance is fully charged
before you start clipping hair.
I Before you start clipping, make sure that the
head of the person whose hair you are cutting
is at the same level as your chest so that all
parts of his/her head are clearly visible and
within easy reach.
I Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair.
I Do not use on freshly washed hair.
I Before you begin, comb the hair in the direction
of growth (fig. 3).
I To achieve optimal clipping results, always move
the appliance slowly through the hair against
the direction of hair growth.
Clipping with small or large comb
D
Be certain the Clipper is in the OFF position.
B Select the comb attachment.The table shows
the remaining hair length after clipping at the
different settings of the small or large comb.
B
Slide the selected comb into the guiding
grooves on both sides of Clipper and push
until you hear it 'click’ into place (fig. 4).
□ Press the Hair Length Selector (1) and slide
it to the desired setting (2) (fig. 5). See Table
1 for settings.
B The setting indications on the comb show
the selected setting.
When you are clipping for the first time, start
at the maximum clipping length setting (#7) to
familiarize yourself with the appliance and prevent
accidentally trimming hairs too short. As you
become familiar with the settings, adjust the Hair
Length Selector to desired trimming length.
Q Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always in full contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result.
B
Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, move the appliance slowly over the
crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,
downwards and across) to achieve an even
result (fig. 6).
B Always move the appliance against the
direction of hair growth.
□ Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that all hair that should be cut has
been cut.
EQ
For best results with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair
towards the Clipper.
ED
Turn the Clipper off regularly during clipping
and remove the hair comb to blow and/or
shake out hair that has accumulated.
► REMEMBER:You must reset the hair length
selector back to your desired setting every
time you replace the hair clipping comb on the
appliance.
TlP-.Write down the settings you have used to create
a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping
sessions.
