7. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how
much hair is being cut.
TO ATTACH TRIMMING GUIDES
1. Select an appropriate length trimming guide to match the desired length of hair to remain
after the cut. The trimming guides are numbered and marked with 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm
2. Hold comb with teeth up, slide the attachment firmly onto
the bottom clipper blade.
FOR UNIFORM CUTTING
Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without forcing it at a faster rate, as this may create
a pulling sensation.
Use short strokes when cutting and initially use the longest trimming guide. You can always
use a closer trimming guide later if you want a closer cut.
HOW TO GIVE A HAIRCUT
1. Start at the back of the head. Holding the clipper as shown, lightly stroke
upwards making sure you are taking off the desired amount of hair. Work your
way up to the crown of the head in layers. When completed, comb the area to
remove any loose hair and determine if you need any further cutting.
2. Repeat the same procedure for each side of the head. Make sure the length
of the hair is trimmed the same on both sides of the head.
3. To cut the top of the head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a small
amount at a time. Cut from the front to the back.
4. To trim around the ears and short hairs at the nape of the neck, you must
remove the trimming guide. Angle the clipper and lightly stoke around each
ear to the back of the neck. Be careful not to touch ears or to press too hard.
5. Final trim can be made with the hair clipper or the scissors. Make sure to
check over the entire head for any uneven areas. For styled hair or giving quick
trims, you may prefer using your hair clipper without the trimming guide.
6. The adjustable taper level allows you to gradually change the closeness of
the cut, either with or without a trimming guide. When the lever is fully forward
the blades will give the closest cut. Moving the lever gradually backwards
increases the cutting length.
SHORT TAPERED STYLES - "FLAT TOPS" & SHORT CUTS
1. Starting with the longest attachment comb (25mm), cut from the back of the neck to the
crown. Hold the attachment comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through
the hair, as shown.
2. Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head,
as illustrated. Then cut the hair against the direction In which it grows and level
with the sides.
3. To give a "flat top" look, the hair on top of the head must be cut over the top
of a flat comb.
4. Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
