TIPS & TECHNIQUES

When you cut your hair, you should visualize the head as if it were divided into four sections. Image below shows the different sections. Using proper techniques when moving from one section to the next will help you blend the sections together for professional looking results.

• The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount of hair until you become accustomed to the length of hair each attachment guard provides.
• For best results, when cutting hair, go through hair at a slow, even speed. Don’t force the clipper through the hair.
• For best results, go through the hair against the direction of your hair’s growth, so you can catch more hair with the guard.
• The blades on your new clipper should be oiled every few haircuts.

SHAVER TIPS: 9149LP Only
Not all kits include a foil shaver head.

• Use shaver before washing your face or top of head.
• Always hold the shaver at a 90° right angle to your skin.
• Shave against the direction of hair growth and stretch your skin as tight as possible.

STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE FOR CUTTING HAIR

BLENDING

When you want to blend from one section to the next, you will need to practice moving the clipper in an upward rocking motion. This motion will leave the hair slightly longer where the clipper pulls away from the scalp, enabling you to blend between the sections and achieve a smooth transition from one length of hair to the next. This technique will enhance the appearance of your haircuts.

1. Blend out any cut lines. Lines may form where you change guard sizes. Use the same guard used in step 3
2. Using a rocking motion, blend out the middle cut line.
3. Using the guard used in step 8 repeat blending the top outline as needed.

DETAILING / OUTLINING

1. No attachments needed. Start with the sideburns.
2. Continue around ear as shown.
3. Trim neckline as shown.
   Use clipper or battery trimmer (not all kits include a trimmer).

CLIPPER OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE

When oiling your clipper, turn the clipper “ON – I,” hold the unit with the blades facing DOWN and squeeze three drops across the front of the blade and one drop on each side on the heel of the blade. Wipe off excess oil with soft cloth.
NOTICE —DO NOT OVER OIL! Excessive oiling or application of liquids will cause damage if allowed to seep back into motor. DO NOT USE HAIR OIL, GREASE, OR ANY OIL MIXED WITH KEROSENE OR ANY SOLVENT.

TAPER LEVER: 2240LP Only

The taper lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to gradually change the closeness of your cut, ideal for blending and fading.
“Up” Position = Closest Cut | “Down” Position = Longest Cut Should the blades become jammed with hair, move the taper lever up and down several times to help free up the blades.

CHARGING:

1. a. 9639, 9649, 9655N Only: Unit should be charged 3-5 hours for a full charge.
   b. 2240LP, 9649LP, 9179LP Clippers: Unit should be charged 2 hours for a full charge.

2. After initial charge, clipper can be “Quick Charged” for 15 minutes. This should allow enough power for one haircut.

3. To charge, turn off and connect the charging plug into an outlet at the correct voltage.

4. CHARGE INDICATORS:

5. 9639, 9649, 9655N Only: The indicator light will not turn off or change color after clipper is fully charged. The power indicator light illuminates to show when the charger is properly connected to the clipper and plugged in. Light will not indicate when the clipper needs to be recharged.

6. 2240LP, 9179LP, 9649LP Only: The indicator light will be red while charging and green when fully charged or when running. The light will flash red when the battery is low.

7. When clipper is not in use, it may be connected to the charging cord and plugged into an outlet to assure maximum power is available when it is next used. This detachable power supply unit (charger) is designed to charge the battery without overcharging. The clipper cannot be overcharged, so you may charge it as often as desired.

STORAGE :

1. The charging cord should be removed from the clipper when not charging. Leaving the cord connected to the clipper without being plugged in may cause the battery to drain.
2. The cord should not be used to pull the clipper. Care should be used to keep the cord untwisted and unobstructed. When stored, the cord should be coiled and unit placed in original box or storage case (if provided) and away from children.
3. Do not expose or store the clipper at temperatures below 0°C (32°F) or above 45°C (113°F). Avoid direct exposure to sunlight.

TROUBLESHOOTING:

If your clipper does not seem to take a charge, check the following before returning it for repair:

1. Check outlet operation by plugging in another appliance.
2. Make sure the outlet is not connected to a switch which turns the power at the outlet off.
3. Be sure the clipper is properly connected to the charging cord, all connections are secure and the switch on the clipper is turned “OFF – 0.”
4. If your electricity is connected to a master power switch, we suggest the clipper be disconnected from the charging cord anytime the master switch is off. Leaving the unit plugged into a dead outlet or an unplugged charger will drain the battery.
5. If clipper does not run and it is completely charged, turn the unit “ON – I” and pinch or push the blades manually. (Oil may have dried out between the blades, so they may be temporarily stuck together.)

EASY-TO-USE ATTACHMENT GUARDS

ATTACHMENT GUARDS:
Attachment guards help you cut hair to a desired length by keeping the blades at set distance from the skin, helping ensure an even hair length after cutting hair with a guard attached to the clipper. For easy reference, each guard is numbered and lists what length the hair will be after being cut using the noted size guard. Always start with a longer length guard (you can always use a shorter length guard if the length is not short enough). The first time you cut hair, cut only a small amount of hair until you become accustomed to the length of hair each attachment guard provides. To achieve an even “tapered” cut around the ears, use the LEFT and RIGHT tapered attachment guards. Before adding or removing guards from clipper, make sure the on/off switch is turned off (or in “0” position). Not all kits may include all the different size and style of guards listed in this instruction sheet.

ADDING :
While holding at a slight angle, place the attachment guard onto the clipper so the tips of the blade rests into the slots of the guard fingers. (fig A) Using your thumb, push down on the guard, where the guard size number is located, until you hear a “SNAP”. (fig B)

REMOVING:
While holding the top of attachment guard, place your thumb on the underside of the attachment guard tab. Push up on tab to remove guard from clipper. (fig C)

SPECIALTY ATTACHMENT GUARDS:
Not all kits include the guards shown

The cutting length of the ear taper guards ranges from 3/16” (#1-1/2”) to 1/4” (#4).

EAR TAPER GUARDS:
Attach the “R” RIGHT attachment guard to the clipper as directed above. Starting BEHIND the right ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear repeating as necessary. (Fig A) Keep the “R” attachment guard on clipper. Starting on the FRONT of the left ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the ear repeating as necessary. (Fig B)

Remove the “R” RIGHT attachment guard and attach the “L” LEFT attachment guard. Starting BEHIND the left ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the front side of the ear repeating as necessary. (Fig C) Keep the “L” attachment guard on clipper. Starting on the FRONT of the right ear (so shorter portion of guard fingers are closest to the ear), move the clipper upward and around towards the back side of the ear repeating as necessary. (Fig D)
