F HOW TO USE

, BEFORE STARTING THE CUT

• Inspect the clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
• Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
• Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle free and dry.

, TO ATTACH A COMB

• Hold the comb with its teeth upward
• Slide it onto and along the clipper blade until the front of the comb firmly sits against the clipper blade.

, TO REMOVE THE COMB

• Holding the clipper with the blades facing away from you, firmly push the comb upward and away from the blades.

F INSTRUCTIONS FOR HAIR CUTTING

Note: For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum comb attachment STEP 1 – Nape of the neck

• Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm.
• Hold the clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the centre of the head at the base of the neck.
• Slowly lift the clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time STEP 2 – Back of the head
• With the comb set at 12mm or 18mm, cut the hair at the back of the head. STEP 3 – Side of the head
• Set the comb to 3mm or 6mm, trim sideburns. Then change the setting to 9mm and continue to cut the top of the head. STEP 4 – Top of the head
• Use the longer length comb attachment and set it to 24mm or 27mm then cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
• For longer hair on top, use the longer length comb attachment (24 – 42mm) to achieve the desired style.
• Always work from the back of the head. STEP 5 – The finishing touches
• Use the clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.
• To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the hair clipper. Place the reversed clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin and then work downwards. , SHORT TAPERED STYLES – “FLAT TOPS” & SHORT CUTS
• Starting with the longest guide comb attached (24 - 42mm), cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the guide comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair.
• Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head. Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.
• To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top of a flat comb.
• Use a closer guide comb to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.

F HAIR TEXTURE MECHANISM

• Simply adjust the hair texture mechanism by sliding the button at the top of the hair clipper.
• Blending different length areas - Select the proper length guard to blend. Slide out the hair texture mechanism (guard) which allows you to blend / thin out the area.
• Textured cut – Slide out the hair texture mechanism (guard) to give an all over textured cut.

F DUAL BOOST SYSTEM

• There are 3 settings for the Dual Boost system: Off, On, Boost.
• If the clipper is set to on, it will run at regular power.
• If the clipper is set to boost, it will provide maximum power.

C CARE FOR YOUR APPLIANCE

Your clipper is fitted with high quality blades. To ensure long lasting performance of your clipper, clean the blades and unit regularly. Always keep the attachment guide comb on the trimmer blade.

• Ensure the clipper is switched off and disconnected from the mains.

• To clean unit, wipe with damp cloth and dry immediately.

C WASHABLE CLEANING

The QUICK WASH SYSTEM is designed to maximise the efficiency of washable cleaning.

• Once the blades are cleaned the blades are locked into place by pushing the blade set towards the hair clipper head and will snap into place.
• Do not run the entire unit under the tap, only the blade set is meant to be submerged in water. Note: Ensure the clipper is turned off when cleaning.

, EVERY SIX MONTHS

• At regular intervals the blade set should be removed and cleaned.
• Remove the 2 screws retaining the fixed blade with a screwdriver. Do not remove blade set.
• Brush out hairs from between the blades with soft cleaning brush. Do not remove the lubricating grease from the blades. It is not necessary to remove the small moving blade from the unit.
• If the moving blade has been removed this can be re-fitted by slotting the coated blade holder over the pin in the centre of the interior product head. The groove on the coated blade, just below the teeth, rests on a metal plate at the opposite side to the screw holes. The fixed blade is fitted with the raised profile pointing outwards and fixed with the 2 screws. , Note that if the blades are not correctly aligned then cutting efficiency will be impaired.
