General hair cutting information

• The hair should be clean, well combed, tangle-free and dry. • If you are not used to clipping hair, begin with a higher setting and then reduce the setting to avoid cutting more hair than desired. • Use a slow and controlled movement. Do not force the clipper through the hair faster than the clipper can cut it. • In between, shake or blow off the hair from the clipper. If too much hair is caught in the distance comb, remove it. • To control your progress during clipping, regularly comb the hair in the style desired.

Hair cutting with hair clipping comb • Place the hair clipping comb (1a/1b) on the appliance with the appliance turned off. • Press the length selector (3) and slide the hair comb up to your desired hair length. Possible length settings (mm): Long hair clipping comb (1a) = 14 / 17 / 20 / 23 / 26 / 29 / 32 / 35 Short hair clipping comb (1b) = 3 / 6 / 9 / 12 / 15 / 18 / 21 / 24 9
