There are two sets of combs: one for use with the ceramic blades and the other for use with the blades for finishing, trimming and cutting beards. Each set of combs can be used to achieve the following lengths:

The appliance comes provided with a series of blades: - ceramic blades for cutting hair (fig.1 - ref.2), - blades for finishing, trimming and cutting beards (fig.1 - ref.25), - blades for sculpting special effects and finishing (fig.1 - ref.26). CERAMIC BLADES The combination of ceramic blades guarantees a perfect hair cut for long time without oiling.

REMOVING THE GUIDE COMBS

• Turn the appliance off

• To remove the comb, unlock it as shown in (fig.2).

• To fit the comb, follow the indications given in (fig.3): first insert the front part in the housing (A), then press down on the rear part to lock it in place (B). CHANGING BLADES

• Switch the appliance off.

• To remove a blade, push to release from the seat as shown in (fig.8).

• To refit a blade, follow the instructions in (fig.9): first insert the rear section in the seat (A), then push the front to secure in place (B). STYLING TIPS SHORT STYLES

• Choose the right guide comb for the desired length. We advise you begin with a longer comb and then move on to a shorter one later if desired.

• Cut hair while dry, using short strokes and progressing slowly.

• Comb the hair as you proceed in order to remove cut hair and check the results.

• NECK: Starting from the midpoint of the bottom of the neck (fig.4) work upwards using short strokes towards the middle of the head (fig.5), gradually working outwards to the sides.

• SIDES: We advise you use a shorter guide comb for the sides, working in the same way as with the neck. To finish sideburns and the area around the ears, use the appliance without a guide comb, holding it turned downwards.

• TOP OF HEAD: Use a longer guide comb. Start from the forehead working backwards towards the middle of the head. LONGER STYLES

• Use the same method, starting from the neck and working upwards, followed by the sides and then the top of the head.

• To adjust the cutting length, use the barber’s comb (fig.6), or else your fingers to help (fig.7), using the appliance without a guide comb.

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

The cleaning and maintenance procedure must be carried out after every use.

• All maintenance or blade change operations must be carried out with the appliance switched OFF and removed from the mains adapter.

• Never immerse the appliance in water!

• After every use, remove the guide comb then use the small brush to eliminate any hair from the cutting head and its seat.

• Clean the outside of the appliance with a soft cloth (slightly damp if necessa- ry). Never use solvents or abrasive detergents!

• Remove the cutting head (fig.8) and evenly oil the non-ceramic blades and the seat of the motor pin which is located on the inside.

• If after prolonged use, and despite regular cleaning and lubrication, the cutting abi- lity of the appliance appears to be diminished, the cutting head must be replaced.

• Once the appliance has been cleaned, the guide comb can be fitted back in place since it also helps to protect the blade.

• Do not oil the ceramic blade set. DISPOSAL
