USING OF HAIR CLIPPER

In case of unit transportation or storage at low temperature it is necessary to keep it for at least three hours at room temperature before switching on.

• Remove all stickers and packaging elements that can prevent unit operation.

Blades leveling
If the blades were removed for cleaning or replacement, they need to be leveled.

• Level the blades and tighten the fas-tening screws. The lower blade (3) should be 1-2 mm protruded relative to the upper blade (4).
• If you could not level the blades, add some oil (13) drops on the blades, switch the unit on for a while (30-40 sec.), then switch it off and take the plug out of the socket. Slightly loosen the fastening screws of the lower blade (3) and level the blades. Do not forget to tighten the lower blade (3) fastening screws after leveling.

Lubricating oil

• To maintain the unit in a good condi-tion, you should periodically lubricate the blades. Do not use vegetable oil or oil that includes solvents. Solvents are subjected to evaporation, and the remaining thick oil can slow down the upper blade (4) moving.
• For lubricating the blades use only the oil (13), supplied with the unit.

Taper lever (2)

• Taper lever (2) for lower blade (3) mov-ing is located under the thumb (if you are right-handed). When cutting hair you can move the blade, pressing the lever (2), adjusting the haircut length without usage of the comb attach-ments. In the upper lever position, hair-cut will be the shortest one. In the down lever position the cutting length is approximately the same as after 3 mm attachment comb (6) usage. Changing the lever position while hair cutting, you can select the necessary hair cutting length.
• If hair is jammed in the blades (3, 4) while cutting, move the lever (2) from the upper position to the down position several times, this will help to release the jammed hair without removing the blades.
• When the unit is switched on, move the lever several times from the upper position to the lower position, this way you can remove the cut-off hair from the blades.
• If the unit pulls hair while cutting, it means that the blades (3, 4) became blunt, replace them with new ones.

INSTRUCTIONS ON HAIR CUTTING

• The hair should be clean and dry when cutting.
• Insert the power plug into the socket.
• Before cutting hair switch the unit on, moving the power switch (1) to the position «ON» and make sure that unit operates normally and blades move smoothly. If there is excess oil on blades, remove it with a dry cloth.
• Constantly check the power cord, pre-vent it from multiple twisting, regularly switch the unit off and straighten the power cord.
• Seat the person so that his/her head is approximately at your eye level, cover the person’s shoulders with a towel and set hair with the comb (11).

Reminder

• Always cut off a little amount of hair at a time — if necessary you can always return to the trimmed area again for additional cutting.
• The best haircut results are reached on dry hair, not wet.
• Set hair with the comb (11) to reveal uneven locks.
• It is better to leave longer hair after hair-cutting for the first time.
• After learning your clipper better, you will be able to arrange your hair in any style you need.

Attachment combs
The length of hair depends on the attach-ment used:

• Attachment comb (6): length of hair left 3 mm
• Attachment comb (7): length of hair left 6 mm
• Attachment comb (8): length of hair left 9 mm
• Attachment comb (9): length of hair left 12 mm
  Set the attachment upper part on the blade and press it until click. To remove the attachment comb press the clamp and remove the attachment.

Step one
Set the 3 mm attachment comb (6) or 6 mm attachment comb (7). Switch the unit on using the power switch (1), setting it to position «ON». Hold the unit so that the blades are pointed upwards. Start the hair-cut from the beginning of the hair growth. Slowly move the clipper upward. This way cut the head back area at neck bottom and near the ears (pic. 1, 2, 3)

Step two
Switch the unit off using the power switch (1) by setting it to the “OFF” position, un-plug the unit, set the 9 mm attachment comb (8) for longer hair or 12 mm attach-ment comb (9) and continue cutting hair near top of the head (pic. 4)

Step 3 – cutting temples
Switch the unit off, unplug it, set the 3 mm attachment comb (6) or 6 mm attachment comb (7) and cut hair in the area of temples. Then set the 9 mm attachment comb (8) or 12 mm attachment comb (9) and continue cutting towards the top of the head.

Step 4 – cutting the top of the head
Using the 9 mm attachment comb (8) or 12 mm attachment comb (9) cut the hair on the top of the head towards the crown against the hair growth direction.

• You can cut hair against and along the hair growth direction, but keep in mind that haircut against the growth direction will be shorter than the hair-cut along it.
• Use the 3 mm attachment comb (6) and 6 mm attachment comb (7) for very short haircut. To leave longer hair, use the necessary 9 mm comb (8) or 12 mm attachment comb (9).
• To leave longer hair, take hair locks between your fingers and cut hair using the clipper (pic. 5).
• You can use the comb (11): lift the hair locks and cut them above the comb (pic. 6).
• Always start cutting from the head back.
• Set the hair with the comb (11) to reveal uneven locks.
• Use the scissors (12) to make hair-cut even

Step 5 – the final part

• In the final stage of haircut remove the attachment comb from the unit, turn the the blades of clipper towards the hair and carefully trim hair on the tem-ples and neck. Do not press the clipper strongly, there is danger of injuries or cuts when open blades come in con-tact with skin (fig. 7).
• After finishing of hair cutting put the protective cover (10) on the blades (3, 4).

Cone-shaped haircut
Set the necessary attachment comb and start cutting from the head back towards the crown. Cut hair against hair growth from the head front to the crown and on the head sides (Pic. 8). To get a flat top haircut, use the comb (11): lift the locks and cut them along the comb. Set the hair with the comb (11) to reveal uneven locks.
Note: Between operations, you can hang the clipper on the hanging loop (5) having preliminarily switched the unit off using the power switch (1).
