Safety Protection
If the appliance overheats, the thermal switch will be activated, leading to the motor being shut off. Press the ON/OFF Switch OFF. Allow the appliance to cool for at least 15 minutes before using the appliance.
The Blade Lever
The Blade Lever allows you to gradually change the closeness of the cut
without changing the Guide Comb. When the Blade Lever is at its highest
position, your hair will be very short. When the Blade Lever is at its lowest
position, your hair will be longer, just like using Guide Comb 3 mm (⅛ in).
The Blade Lever extends the life of the Blades since a different cutting edge
is used for each setting.
With the Clipper in operation, rapidly move the Blade Leaver from “Close cut”
to “Longer cut” a few times. This action removes hair that had become wedged
between the Top & Bottom Blades, without the need to loosen the screws and
remove the Blades. With all the wedged hair removed, if the Clipper stops
cutting and the Blades are jammed even with this action being repeatedly
carried out, the Blades have become dull, and should be replaced.
HOW TO CUT
Begin with the Guide Comb of the longest length – ④ which leaves 12mm (½ inch)
of hair until you get used to the length to which each Guide Comb cuts the
hair. To attach a Guide Comb, hold it with the teeth pointing upwards and
slide it along the Blades until the front of the Guide Comb firmly seats
against the Blades. To remove the Guide Comb, pull it upward and away from the
Blades.
Comb the DRY hair frequently during cutting to check for uneven strands and to
remove cut hair.
Guide Combs
To cut hair in the region
Nape of the Neck
- Attach Guide Combs ① or ②.
- Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
- Begin at the centre of the head at the base of the neck, and stop at the level near the middle of the ears.
- Slowly work the Guide Comb through the hair without forcing it through as you work upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming a little at a time.
- Continue on each side of where you started until the entire nape of the neck is shaved.
Back of the Head
- Attach Guide Combs ③ or ④.
- Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
- Begin at the centre of the head where you left off earlier, and stop at the level near the top of the head.
- Slowly work the Guide Comb through the hair without forcing it through as you work upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming a little at a time.
- Continue on each side of where you started until the entire back of the head is shaved.
Side of the Head
Attach Guide Combs ① or ② and trim both sideburns.
Then attach Guide Combs ③ or ④.
Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
Begin at the top of the sideburns, and end at the level near the top of the
head.
Top of the Head
-
For hair of normal length, use Guide Combs ③ or ④.
-
If you desire a crew-cut, use Guide Combs ① or ②.
-
It is advisable to use a longer Guide Comb first, and then use a shorter one.
-
For long hair which you desire to keep a certain length, use the Comb provided to lift the hair to the desired length and cut ABOVE the Comb.
-
In this case, you need not attach the Guide Comb.
-
Alternatively, you can also use your fingers to lift the hair to the desired length, and cut the hair ABOVE the fingers.
-
In this case, you need not attach the Guide Comb.
In all cases: -
• Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
Begin where you left of at the back of the head, and end at the front of the head, against the direction of hair growth. In some cases, that would mean cutting from the front to the back.
The Finishing Touches
- Remove the Guide Comb from the Clipper. Carefully trim the hair all around the head evenly.
- To achieve clean straight lines at the sideburns, turn the Clipper over.
Then, press the Clipper at right angles to the head, with the tips of the Blades lightly touching the skin and work downward. This achieves as clean a cut as you would from a razor.
Short Tapered Styles – ‘Flat Tops’
- Attach Guide Comb ④.
- Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
- With the Guide Comb flat against the head, begin at the centre of the head at the base of the neck, and stop at the crown.
- Continue on each side of where you started until the entire back and sides are shaved.
- Then, cut the hair from the front of the head to the crown, against the direction of hair growth. (refer to diagram)
- Remove the Guide Comb from the Clipper. To achieve a ‘Flat Top’, use the Comb provided and cut the hair ABOVE the Comb.
- Attach Guide Comb ①.
- Hold the Clipper with the Blade teeth pointing upwards.
- Taper the hair down to the neckline as desired.
- Comb hair and check for uneven areas. Use the Clipper to smoothen out such areas.
