How to Use
Before Cutting Hair
- Make sure your hair clipper is operating correctly.
- The vacuum feature will not function properly if the hair chamber is removed.
- The person should be seated so that the top of his head is at your eye level.
- Comb the hair as it is normally styled.
- Comb out all knots and tangles.
- Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.
- Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand with your thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip provides comfortable cutting control.
To Attach Trimming Guides
- Select the trimming guide that matches the length you want the hair to be after the cut. The trimming guides are numbered and marked with 1/8” (3mm), 1/4” (6mm), 3/8” (9mm), 1/2” (12mm), 3/4”(18mm), and 1”(25mm).
- Hold the trimming guide with the teeth up. Slide the trimming guide onto the blades until it locks into place.
Giving A Comfortable, Even Cut
- Allow the clipper to cut through the hair without moving it too quickly. Moving the clipper too quickly may create a pulling sensation. As the clipper cuts the hair, the vacuum sucks the clippings through the inlet into the hair chamber.
- 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
- 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 to determine if you need any further cutting.
|
---|--- - Repeat the same procedure for each side of the head. Make sure the length of the hair is trimmed to the same length on both sides of the head.
- To trim around the ears, remove the trimming guide and replace with either the left or right ear guide. The shorter guide teeth are designed to be toward the ear. Move the clipper from the front of the head to the back. This creates a tapered effect around the ear and back of the neck.
- The final trim can be made with the hair clipper or the included 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.
Very Short Styles
- Using the 1/2” (12mm) trimming guide, hold the comb flat against the head and move the hair clipper from the back of the neck to the crown of the head.
- Cut in a similar manner from the side to the top of the head. Then cut from the front to the crown of the head.
- If a “Flat Top” style is desired, then remove the trimming guide and use the barber’s comb. Trim a little at a time until the “flat look” is achieved.
Emptying Hair Chamber:
- Turn off the unit.
- Hold the underside of the unit with one hand.
- Locate the grips on the side of the chamber (fig. 1). Using your thumb and forefinger, lift both sides of the chamber at the same time.
- Empty the contents into a waste container. (fig. 2)
- You may have to vigorously shake the chamber or scoop out some of the compacted hair clippings.
- Be careful not to puncture the screens on the hair chamber while emptying the unit.
- Once finished emptying, place the chamber back onto the unit and push gently until the chamber clicks into place. fig. 1 fig. 2
Line Cord Safety Tips
- To insert plug, grasp it firmly and guide it into outlet.
- To disconnect the appliance, grasp the plug and remove it from outlet. Do not pull or yank on the cord or appliance. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Cleaning and Maintaining Your Clipper
Your clipper is fitted with high-quality blades. Cleaning should only be done
with a soft brush, such as the brush supplied with the unit. Clean your
clipper regularly to ensure that the units operating life is not prematurely
shortened.
- Unplug adapter from wall outlet
- Do not apply pressure or hard objects to the cutters.
- Do not use liquid cleaners on the cutters or harsh or corrosive chemicals on the units main body.
Weekly (or as needed)
Clipper should always be shut off. Remove clipper guard attachment from

Main clipper
- Remove the blades by pushing upward on the cutter teeth. The (hairpocket) underside of the cutter assembly will be exposed.
- Blow out any loose hair that has accumulated. Brush out any remaining hair from the cutter teeth and hair pocket with the brush provided. Do not rinse the cutter assembly under water or use cleaning fluids. Apply 2-3 drops of supplied oil to blades after each cleaning.
Troubleshooting
Clipper cutters do not move:
- The cutting unit may be dirty and clogged. Clean the unit as directed in Cleaning & Maintenance section. Vacuum not functioning properly:
- Ensure that the chamber has been emptied and placed back into the unit properly.
- Check for obstructions in the inlet and air flow path. Fan chamber clogged up:
- Remove the hair chamber.
- Using the cleaning brush that has been provided, gently brush between the protective exhaust vents. If necessary, blow into the fan chamber. Hair clippings should become loose and fall out.
