Natural cutting attachment and Point cutting attachment

These attachments allow thinning of hair by cutting from the inner side. Hair volume is reduced, and hair tips are trimmed at various lengths to leave a natural look.

Natural cutting attachment:

Desirable hair lengths are 30mm - 70mm (hair lengths shorter than 30mm may be too short to cut in some situations.)

Point cutting attachment:

Desirable hair lengths are less than 30mm (for cutting sideburns and around the ears.)

36mm comb attachments

1. Insert the attachment over the trimming blades until it clicks as illustrated.

2. To remove the attachment, push both sides while pulling the attachment.

Cut

Cutting your hair

1 Cut hair to the correct height by moving the clipper back against the flow of the hair.

• Do not use the clipper in an inverted position. This can cut hair too deeply.

Trimming with no attachments

Cutting without an attachment will trim hair length to 1 mm or less.

1. Cut hair by placing the clipper head directly on the scalp.

AC operation

If you connect the AC adaptor to the clipper in the same way as for charging, and set the switch to "1", you can use it even if the battery capacity is low.

• If the clipper does not operate, set the switch to "0·CHARGE", wait about 1 minute and then set it back to "1".
• Be careful not to discharge the battery completely with the switch left in "1". It results in shortening the battery life.
