Hair Clipping
I
Use this Clipper for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
► If you are clipping someone else's hair, make
sure that the head of the person 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 comb attachment
D Be certain the Clipper is in the OFF position.
a
Select the comb attachment depending on
the desired hair length.The table shows
the remaining hair length after clipping at the
different settings of the precision or regular
comb.
The remaining hair length is also indicated on each
comb (fig. 4):
- Precision comb: 1-3mm (3/64 - 1/8 in.)
- Regular comb: 3-15mm (1/8 - 5/8 in.)
Q Slide the selected comb into the guiding
grooves on both sides of the Clipper swivel
head and push until you hear it ‘click’ into
place (fig. 5).
Make sure the comb attachment locks properly
into position.
□ Turn the Hair Length Setting Adjustment Ring
to set the comb to the desired setting (fig. 6).
See Table 1 for settings.
Do not turn the length setting adjustment ring
beyond the highest hair length setting.
B The arrowhead on the Clipper indicates
which setting has been selected.
When you are clipping for the first time, start
at the maximum clipping length setting (#5) of
the regular comb 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.
