OPERATION

For best cutting performance

• The hair to be cut must be dry and clean.

• Before the operation, the cutting head should be oiled always. For this, use the supplied blade oil.

• Put the attachment comb required on the cutting head, the adjustment attachment comb permit 6 position cutting length from 4to 30mm. (see illustrations above). Start with the largest position cutting length first. And, if necessary, use a position shorter one.

• Switch the appliance on by moving the ON/OFF switch upwards
  (“ON” position). We recommend to trim a small area first to familiarize yourself with the attachment comb.

• Hold the trimmer against the hair, the teeth of the clipper guide pointing upwards yet flat against the head.

• Move the trimmer upwards and outwards through the hair, a little at a time, against the direction of hair growth.

• The appliance will work most efficiently when cutting through the hair at its own speed. Never force the trimmer through the hair. Never switch the trimmer off whilst in the hair.

• For longer hair on top of the head, use the long comb and lift hair on top of the head, cutting over the comb, or hold the hair between the fingers and cut to the desired length. Always work from the front to the back of the head.

To outline

• Do not attach an attachment comb.
• Hold the trimmer upside down and hold it gently against the skin at the length desired, move downward.

Having defined the outline, gently hold the trimmer against the skin, the teeth of the trimmer pointing up wards and move the trimmer upwards against the direction of hair growth to the defined outline. This will trim the unwanted hair adjacent to the outline.
