Preparing for use

Clipping with comb attachment

Before you start clipping, make sure the head of the person whose hair you are cutting is at the same level as your chest.
2 To get the best results, use the hair clipper only on dry hair. Do not use it on freshly washed hair.

3 First comb the hair into the direction of hair growth.
4 Always move the clipper against the direction of hair growth, otherwise it will not cut the hair properly.
Move the clipper through the hair slowly.

Using the appliance

Clipping with comb attachment

I Slide the comb attachment onto the rails on the appliance until you hear a click.
2 Make sure that the arms of the comb attachment have been properly slid onto the rails on both sides.
3 Choose the appropriate hair length setting.

Press the adjustment button on the back of the appliance and slide the comb attachment to the desired position.

The clipper has 7 different hair length settings:

• 3 m m
• 6 m m
  -9 m m
  -12mm
  -15mm
  -18mm
• 21 mm

Start at the setting for maximum hair length (21 mm) to familiarise yourself with the clipper.

4 Make sure that the flat part of the comb attachment is always fully in contact with the scalp to obtain an even cutting result.
Pass the clipper slowly over the crown from different directions to achieve an even cutting result.
6 Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that the clipper catches all the hairs that need to be cut.
Comb the hair in the direction of hair growth from time to time so that the clipper can catch the hair more easily.
8 To achieve a good result with curly, sparse or long hair, you can use a comb to guide the hair towards the clipper.
9 We advise you to regularly remove clipped hair from the comb while clipping.

Graduation

The Philishave hair clipper not only allows you to cut the hair evenly at the same length all over the head, it also enables you to achieve a smooth transition from longer hair on top of the head to shorter hair on the back and sides of the head.

I Start clipping at the setting for maximum hair length (i.e. position 21 mm).
2 Then choose a shorter setting and cut the hair on all parts of the head except the top, where you want the hair to be longer.
3 You can repeat this procedure until the hair on every part of the head has the desired length.

Precise contouring without comb attachment

You can use the clipper without comb attachment to contour the neckline and the area around the ears.

Be careful when you are clipping without comb attachment, for the clipper will remove every hair it touches.

Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off the clipper.
2 Before contouring the hairline round the ears, comb the hair ends over the ear.
3 Bend the person's ear to get it out of the way.
4 Tilt the clipper in such a way that only one edge of the cutting element touches the hair ends.

5 Only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be close to the ear.

6 To contour the nape hairline and the sideburns, turn the clipper and make downward strokes.

7 Move slowly and smoothly.

8ust follow the natural hairline.

Cutting over styling comb or fingers

This technique can be used to obtain hair lengths over 21 mm. Bear in mind that this technique is difficult to master and should only be applied by experienced users.
Remove the comb attachment.
2 Comb a small section of hair upwards. Lift the hair with a styling comb or hold it between your fingers until only the length that needs to be cut sticks out.
3 Cut the hair protruding from the comb or fingers.

4 Continue this procedure and comb frequently to remove cut hair and to check for unevenly cut sections.
