ABOUT YOUR HAIR CLIPPER

HC1091AU SPECIFICATIONS

Power System| Corded
Voltage Type| Single (240V)

BEFORE CUTTING HAIR

The blades of this clipper are designed to remain permanently lubricated. They do not need oiling unless the blades are rinsed under water. We have aligned the blades on your hair clipper prior to shipment. It is possible the blades may be bumped out of alignment whilst in transit. Correct blade alignment is essential for effective cutting. If the blades are out of alignment they can be easily adjusted.

1. The end of the top blade should be closer to the body of the hair clipper than the bottom blade. This is important so that the clipper doesn’t cut too close or allow the moving (top) blade to touch the skin.
2. The bottom blade should be as closely aligned as possible to the center of the top blade.
3. If the blades are not correctly aligned, turn the clipper on for a few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen the two screws slightly and manually adjust the bottom blade until it is aligned. Re-tighten the screws.
4. Ensure the hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight vibration, before attempting to cut any hair.

GETTING STARTED

1. Make sure your clipper is operating correctly.
2. Place a towel around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed or cut. This person should be seated so that the top of their head is at your eye level.
3. Comb the hair as it is normally styled, be sure to comb out all knots and tangles.
4. Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your thumb  resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip proves comfortable cutting control. Although the hair clipper may be used left or right handed, using it right handed allows you to access the taper lever more easily.
5. Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.
6. Do not move clippers to fast over hair while cutting.

TO ATTACH & REMOVE THE TRIMMING GUIDES

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, 16mm, 18mm, 22mm, 25mm, Left Ear and Right Ear. Hold comb with teeth up, slide the attachment firmly onto the bottom clipper blade.

To remove the attachment, use the latch at the back of the comb to lever it away from the back of the hair clipper. DO NOT grasp the comb from the front as this may cause the guides to bend or break.

TIPS FOR CUTTING HAIR

• 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 a long trimming guide.
  You can always use a closer trimming guide later if you want a closer cut.

• Start at the back and around the ears to define the length of the head and work your way up to the crown of the head in layers.

• To cut the top of the head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a small amount at a time with scissors, or with a long trimming guide on the hair clipper. Cut from the front to the back.

• Remove trimming guides from the clipper and use the clipper to carefully trim around the ears and short hairs at the nape of the neck.
  Angle the clipper around each ear and be careful not to touch the ears of press too hard.

• Use the taper lever to adjust the closeness of the cut without the trimming guides, or to blend between hair layers with the trimming guides attached.

STORAGE

When not in use, unplug the appliance and store out of reach of children in a safe, dry location. Never wrap the cord around the appliance as this will cause the cord to wear prematurely and break. Handle the cord carefully for long life, and avoid jerking, twisting or straining especially at plug connections.

DISPOSAL/RECYCLING

Legislation in some localities mandates that e-waste (anything with a plug, battery or cord) is disposed of through controlled recycling facilities and must not be disposed of in general household waste. For more information about recycling of electrical and battery operated appliances, please contact your local council or your local household waste disposal service.
