Hair Clipping
k Use this Clipper for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
I Use and store the Clipper at a temperature
between 40°F and 95°F.
k If the appliance is subjected to a major change
in temperature, pressure or humidity, let the
Clipper acclimatize for 30 minutes before using,
k 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,
k Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair,
k Do not use on freshly washed hair,
k Before you begin, comb the hair in the direction
of growth (Fig. 1 ).
k 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.
B Insert the appliance plug directly into the
Clipper and plug the adapter into any 120V
AC outlet. Use only the cord provided.
B
Slide the comb into the guiding grooves on
both sides of the Clipper swivel head and
push until you hear it ‘click’ into place (Fig. 2).
Make sure the comb locks properly into position.
Q Turn the Hair Length Setting Adjustment Ring
to set the comb to the desired setting (Fig. 3)
as indicated on the comb (Fig. 4). 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
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.

TIP: Use different settings to create a natural and
smooth transition between various hair lengths from
your neckline to the top of your head (Fig. 5).
Using the rotating head
k At the starting clipping position of 0” (pointing
forward), turn the rotating head 45° or 90° to
the left or right to adjust the position of the
cutting element to the part of your head you
are clipping (Fig. 6).
a
Turn the rotating 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 cutting element
by turning the rotating head. Do not turn the
rotating head by holding the cutting element or
the comb attachment.
B
The rotating head allows you to hold and use
the Clipper like a styling comb (Fig. 8).
Do not turn the rotating head more than 90° to
the left or right.
B
Push the ON/OFF switch up to turn on the
appliance.
□ 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 Clipper slowly over the
crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,
downwards and across) to achieve an even
result (Fig. 9).
Q Always move the Clipper slowly against the
direction of hair growth.
B
Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that all hairs that should be cut are
cut.
□ As you clip different areas of your head,
adjust the position of the rotating head
so that the rotating head position is most
comfortable for you.
□ For best results with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair
towards the Clipper.
[E
Turn the Clipper off regularly during clipping
and remove the hair comb to blow and/or
shake out hair that has accumulated.
When you remove the comb, the selected setting
does not change.
TIP: Write down the settings you have used to create
a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping
sessions.
Contouring without a comb
attachment
k Use the Clipper without a comb to clip very
close to the skin (1/32 in/O.Smm).
k Be careful when you are clipping without a
comb as when the Clipper is turned on it will
remove every hair it touches.
□ Remove the comb by pulling it off the
rotating head (Fig. 10).
Never pull at the flexible too of the comb. Always
pull at the bottom part.
