Tips for great styling

• Make sure you use the right comb and select the right position.
  Make sure that the apparatus is clean and the battery is charged (model HC2610).
• Hold the apparatus so that the flat side of the comb points in the direction of the head and push the apparatus slowly and evenly through the hair.
• A rule of thumb is to start at the side of the neck and work your way to the middle of the head.
• Afterwards cut the hair above the forehead and work your way to the middle.
  With hair longer than 40~mm use a styling comb or hold the hair in between your fingers.
  Take a few breaks while cutting, comb the hair and check the result.
