• Use on Alternating Current 120V AC, 60 hertz only.
• This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider than the other). As a safety feature,this plug will fit in the outlet only one way.

• Your new Conair® haircut kit has everything you need to achieve professional haircuts at home. It features a powerful clipper, with adjustable taper control and steel blades with Advanced Blade Technology for cutting 2x more hair per pass as well as cutting precision.
• Also included are 10 comb attachments for different hair lengths. It also comes with a barber comb, barber scissors, cleaning brush, barber cape, a carry case for easy storage and travel, 2 styling clips, lubricating oil and a blade guard for easy maintenance of the clipper blades.

OILING INSTRUCTIONS

• IMPORTANT! It is highly recommended before each use to oil the blades with the oil provided.
• This ensures optimum cutting performance.  For the fi rst use you will need to use the oil supplied with the product. Unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil.
• To oil the blades ensure that the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil to the blades (see FIG. 1, 2, and 3). Leave the unit on for a few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread the length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.
• Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil your clipper more than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.)
  KEEP OIL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

THE CONAIR GUIDE TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME

Before you start:

1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it’s free of hair and dirt, properly oiled and running smoothly.
2. Place a towel around the neck of the person whose hair is to be cut.
3. Seat the person so that his or her head is at your eye level. This gives you greater visibility and control.
4. First, comb hair until it’s tangle-free. Then hold clipper in a comfortable grip. Now you’re ready to cut.

MEDIUM TO LONG CUT

To begin, cut only a small amount of hair until you become used to the length each attachment leaves the hair. Try the longest attachment on the clipper fi rst. If you want a shorter cut, you can then use shorter combs.

• Short comb attachment (number 1) cuts hair to 1/8″ (3mm).
• Medium-Short comb attachment (number 2) cuts hair to 1/4″ (6mm).
• Medium-Long comb attachment (number 3) cuts hair to 3/8″ (9.5mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 4) cuts hair to 1/2″ (12.5mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 5) cuts hair to 5/8″ (16mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 6) cuts hair to 3/4″ (19mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 7) cuts hair to 7/8″ (22mm).
• Long comb attachment (number 8) cuts hair to 1″ (25mm).
• Left ear comb attachment lightly tapers over left ear.
• Right ear comb attachment lightly tapers over right ear.

Attach combs by holding them teeth up, then snapping onto the bottom of the clipper blade.
To remove comb attachments, place index finger and thumb as illustrated; then pull out and up.

NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper through the hair to make it move more quickly. Professional experience shows that the clipper works most efficiently when it cuts through the hair at its own speed.

To begin cutting hair:

1. The hair should be combed in its natural direction.
2. Using the largest comb attachment, trim sides from the bottom upward. Hold clipper lightly against the hair with teeth of the comb attachment pointing up ward, yet flat against the head. Gradually lift the clipper upward and outward through the hair, trimming just a little at a time. Repeat around sides and back of head.
   If you want hair to be even shorter:
   A) Apply more pressure to the head with the comb attachment that is in place. This takes a little practice, of course. OR
   B) Just switch to a shorter comb attachment.

Remember, it’s better to leave too much hair than too little. For longer hair on top, use the barber comb and lift hair on the top of the head, cutting over the comb. Or hold the hair between the fingers and cut to desired length. Always working from the front to the back of the head, gradually cut the hair shorter by reducing the space between the comb or fingers and the head. Comb often to check for uneven strands, and to get rid of trimmed hair.

OUTLINING

Outlining requires no attachments. Comb hair into the desired style. Position the clipper between the sideburns and the ear (see above), making sure the corner 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. For the back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the clipper upside down (see above) and, holding it against the skin at the length desired, move the clipper downward.

STOP. COMB. CHECK.
For best results, do as the professionals do: comb hair often, and check clipping results as you comb. This way you avoid uneven sides, bangs, neckline, etc.

SHORT CUTS TO PERFECT FLAT TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.

Always cut from the back of the neck to the crown, using the longest comb setting.
Hold the comb attachment flat against the head and 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. For the front to the crown, cut the hair against the direction in which it grows. Then even it up with the sides.
For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the comb attachment. Just cut hair on top of the head over flat comb. (see below).

USER MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

CARE OF YOUR CLIPPER

IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT:
Conair ® hair clippers are carefully inspected to ensure that the blades are in perfect alignment. Of course you will need to realign the blades after removal for cleaning or replacement, or if they should be knocked out of alignment. How can you tell if blades need realigning? Simply match them up, point for point, to conform with FIG. 1 below:

To prevent the clipper from contacting the skin or cutting too closely, make certain that the end top blade teeth are 1/32″ to 1/16″ back from bottom blade.

To Align Blades:

1. Add two or three drops of Conair Lubricating Oil (included).
2. Turn clipper on for a minute to disperse oil evenly over blades, then turn off.
3. Unplug clipper and slightly loosen screws. (See FIG. 2)
4. Position the extreme lefthand tooth of the top blade so that it either covers or appears on the left of the first small tooth on the bottom blade.
5. Make sure that the big tooth on the bottom blade touches the extreme right-hand tooth of the top blade.

ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER

• Just like professional clippers, the Conair taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust the lever at the same time… while you’re clipping.
• This taper lever eliminates the need in some situations for a comb attachment because it lets you gradually adjust the closeness of the cut. For the closest cut and the shortest hair, push taper lever up as far as it will go, to level #1. To increase cutting length, slowly push lever down. If you push to the lowest position, level #5, it will leave hair about the same length as the short comb attachment.
• Because a different cutting edge is used in each setting, the taper lever lengthens the life of your blades.
• Packed-in hair can slow down any clipper.
• To remove hair without removing the blades, do what the professionals do: keeping the clipper on, quickly push the taper lever back and forth from “close” to “longer” cut a few times.

If you do this after every clipping, especially with heavy hair cutting, the blades should remain free of cut hair.
If clipper stops cutting and this action doesn’t help, check the blades. If they’ve become dull, replace them. For new blades, send check or money order for $6.50, which includes postage and handling (if $10 minimum is met), to:

Conair Corporation 150 Milford Rd. East Windsor, NJ 08520

NOTE: Never pull on the clipper cord. Never twist or wrap the cord around the clipper. Lay it flat with the cord coiled up when not in use. STORAGE: When not in use, your clipper should be disconnected, allowed to cool and stored in a safe, dry location, out of reach of children.
Any other servicing should be performed by authorized service representative.
This appliance has no user-serviceable parts.
This appliance is for household use.
