you use the #4 attachment comb. With the teeth flat
against the head, slowly start trimming from the front to
the back. Again, it is better to leave the hair longer the
first few haircuts.(Fig.4)
Outlining
● Outlining requires no attachment. Take the clipper and
push the lever up to the close-cut position.
● Comb hair into the style. Position clipper between the
side burns and the ear.(Fig. 5)
● Make sure the comer edge of the blade is against the
hairline. With the outline of the hair as your guide, slowly
move the clipper over, around, and behind the
ears.(Fig.6)
● For the back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the
clipper upside down, (see sketch), and holding it against
the skin at the length desired, move downwards.
Short cuts to perfect flat tops, crew cuts.
● Always cut from the back of the neck to the crown, using
the longest attachment comb. Holding it flat against the
head, slowly move the clipper up through the hair.
Use the same technique for the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side of the head.
(Fig.7)
● For the front to the crown, cut the hair against the
direction in which it grows. Then even it up with the
sides.(Fig.8)
● For a flat top, use a flat comb, not the
attachment comb. Just cut hair on top of the head over it.
To taper hair down to the neckline, use closer cutting
attachment combs. Comb hair and check for uneven
spots and outline sideburns and neckline.(Fig.9)
