You will only be able to fit the comb attachment when the switch is in this position. The hair clipper will have been checked carefully before despatch to make sure that the blades have been oiled. Charging the battery Check that the hair clipper has been switched off, i.e. the On/Off switch (2) must be in the "Off" position. Place the hair clipper in the charging stand (4). Plug the plug-in charger (7) into a socket and connect it to the charger stand. The battery will then start to charge and the charge indication lamp (3) will glow red. After it has been charged for about 4 hours, the hair clipper will be able to operate in cordless mode far about 30-40 minutes. Take the hair clipper out of the charging stand and switch the On/Off switch to the "ON" position. Switch the appliance off again after you finish using it. You can also charge the appliance without using the charging stand. Check that the appliance is switched off. Plug the plug-in charger (8) into a socket and connect it directly to the hair clipper. The battery will then start to charge, and the charge indication lamp (3) will glow red. After it has been charged for about 4 hours, the hair clipper will once again be ready for about 30-40 minutes of cordless operation. Disconnect the hair clipper from the socket and simply switch the On/Off switch to the "ON" position. Switch the appliance off again after you finish using it.23 Mains operation Check that the appliance has been switched off, i.e. the On/Off switch must be in the "Off" position. Plug the plug-in charger (7) into a socket and connect it directly to the hair clipper. Switch the appliance on, and you can then start cutting right away. Switch the appliance off again after you finish using it. This option enables you to switch immediately to mains operation if the battery discharges unexpectedly, allowing you to finish a haircut. Using the comb attachment Hold the hair clipper back to front in your hand. Check that the cutting length locking switch (5) on the base of the hair clipper is in the "Unlock" position. Now slide the two guide rails on the comb attachment into the depressions in the casing of the clipper. The comb attachment can be set to any of 7 lengths far cutting. You can read off the set length in mm on the attachment (4 to 20mm). 1 . To set the required length, first move the cutting length locking switch to "Unlock". Place your thumbs on the ribbed surface of the comb attachment and slide it backwards or forwards until you reach the cutting length you require. Example: If the small arrow an the hair clipper paints to the arrow indicating 20mm, the set hair cutting length is 20mm, etc.

2. Once you have set the required hair cutting length, you will have to slide the

cuffing length locking switch to the "Lock" position to fix the comb attachment in this setting. Use the some procedure each time you change the setting. Tips for beginners Practice makes perfect when it comes the haircuts. Never move the hair clipper quickly through the hair for a standard cut. The appliance only works at its best if it is pushed gently. Don't forget to comb through the hair at regular intervals, in order to remove the small hairs that have already been cut. While you do this, check that you have been cutting the hair evenly.24 It is better not to cut the hair too short at first, so that you can get used to the length of cut at each setting. We recommend that you begin with the longest length of cut (20 mm), and then select a shorter setting if required. OPERATION Preparation We recommend that you wash the hair first and then cut it after it has been towel-dried. Sit the person having the haircut in a chair, so that his or her head is at your eye level. First of all, comb the hair so that it fells naturally. Hold the hair clipper loosely in your hand, so that you always have the correct degree of control as you cut. Cutting Unlock the comb attachment by sliding the cutting length locking switch (6) to "Unlock". At first, set the length of cut to 20 mm. Fix the cut length at this setting by moving the cutting length locking switch back to "Lock". This procedure must be repeated each time the length of cut is re-set. Start by trimming the sides from the bottom upwards. Hold the clipper lightly against the hair with teeth of the attachment comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly lift the clipper up and outward through the hair (use a shorter length setting if necessary), cutting only a small amount at a time (Fig. 1 ). Repeat around sides and back of head (Fig. 2) If you want to cut the hair shorter, you have to set a shorter length of cut. Alternatively, you could use the same setting and press more firmly, then lift the appliance out more slowly. This entire procedure requires practice, and it is always better to leave too much hair the first few haircuts (Fig. 3). You can use the 10 or 1 2mm hair length setting to cut the top hair on the head quite short. Use the 4 or 7mm setting to cut crew cuts.25 With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start trimming from the front to the back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the first few haircuts (Fig. 4). Outlining You do not need the comb attachment to finish off the cut. Remove the comb attachment from the appliance for this step. Comb hair into the style. Position clipper between the side burns and the ear. Make sure the corner edge of the blade is against the hairline. With the outline of the hair as your guide. slowly move the clipper over. around, and behind the ears (Fig. 5). For the back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the clipper upside down, (see sketch), and holding it against the skin at the length desired, move downwards. Cleaning the blades Hold the hair clipper slightly vertically in front of you, i.e. with the clipper blade at the front slightly upwards towards you Press the blades backwards with your thumbs in order to remove the clipper blade from the casing (Fig. A). The cutting head and the holder will come off the hair clipper. Press the white block with the holder to open the clipper blades (Fig. B). Use the cleaning brush (10) to remove any hair remaining between the blades. Then place 2 or 3 drops of oil between the blades for lubrication. Push the cutting head back on until it clicks properly into place. Switch the appliance on for a couple of seconds so that the oil can be distributed evenly. Use the oil supplied for lubrication. The clipper blades should be oiled regularly (or after each time they are used) to keep the appliance in good order. Do not use hair oil, grease or any oil mixed with kerosene or other solvent. The solvent will evaporate, and will leave thick oil, which might then cause the blades to move more slowly. Remains of greasiness from the hair itself may also lead to a less satisfactory cutting process. If this happens, open the clipper blades by pressing an the white block with the holder, then dip the blades briefly into pure petroleum. Dry the blades afterwards with a cloth.26 Disposal Disable unserviceable appliances immediately. Remove the mains plug and cut off the mains connection cable.
