THE CONAIR GUIDE

TO CUTTING HAIR AT HOME

Before you start:

1. Inspect your clipper. Make sure it’s free of hair and dirt, properly oiled, and running smoothly.
2. Place a towel around the neck of the person.
3. Seat the person so that his or her head is at your eye level. This gives you greater visibility and control.
4. First, comb hair until it’s tangle-free. Then hold the clipper in a comfortable grip. Now you’re ready to cut.

MEDIUM TO LONG CUT

To begin with, cut only a small amount of hair until you become used to the length each attach­ment leaves the hair. Try the longest attachment on the clipper first. If you want a shorter cut, you can then use shorter combs.

• Short attachment comb (number 1) cuts hair to 1/8″.
• Medium-Short attachment comb (number 2) cuts hair to 1/4″.
• Medium-Long attachment comb (number 3) cuts hair to 3/8″.
• Long attachment comb (number 4) cuts hair to 1/2″.
• Long attachment comb (number 5) cuts hair to 5/8″
• Long attachment comb (number 6) cuts hair to 3/4″
• Long attachment comb (number 7) cuts hair to 7/8″
• Left ear attachment comb lightly tapers over the left ear.
• Right ear attachment comb lightly tapers over the right ear.

Attach combs by holding their teeth up, then snapping onto the bottom of the clipper blade.

To remove comb attachments, place index finger and thumb as illustrated; then pull out and up.

NOTE: Never push or shove the clipper through the hair to make it move more quickly. Professional experience shows that the clipper works most efficiently when it cuts through the hair at its own speed.

To begin cutting hair:

1. The hair should be combed in its natural direction.
2. Using the largest attachment comb, trim sides from the bottom upward. Hold clipper lightly against the hair with teeth of the attachment comb pointing upward, yet
   flat against the head. Gradually lift the clipper upward and outward through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

Repeat around the sides and back of the head. If you want hair to be even shorter: A) Apply more pressure to the head with the attachment comb that is in place. This takes a little practice, of course. OR B) Just switch to a shorter attachment comb. Remember, it’s better to leave too much hair than too little. For longer hair on top, use the barber comb and lift hair on the top of the head, cutting over the comb. Or hold the hair between the fingers and cut to the desired length. Always working from the front to the back of the head, gradually cut the hair shorter by reducing the space between the comb or fingers and the head. Comb often to check for uneven strands, and to get rid of trimmed
hair.

OUTLINING:
Outlining requires no attachments. Comb hair into the desired style. Position the clipper between the sideburns and the ear (see below), making sure the corner edge of the blade is against the hairline. With the outline of the hair as your guide, slowly move the clipper over, around, and behind the ears. For the back of the neck and the sideburns, hold the clipper upside down (see above) and, holding it against the skin at the length desired, move the clipper downward.

STOP. COMB. CHECK.
For best results, do as the professionals do: comb hair often, and check clipping results as you comb. This way you avoid uneven sides, bangs, neckline, etc.

SHORT CUTS TO PERFECT
FLAT TOPS, CREW CUTS, ETC.
Always cut from the back of the neck to the crown, using the longest comb setting. Hold the comb attachment flat against the head and slowly move the clipper up through the hair. Use the same technique for the sides, cutting from the bottom to the upper side of the head. From the front to the crown, cut the hair against the direction in which it grows. Then even it up with the sides. For a flat top, use the flat comb, not the attachment comb. Just cut hair on top of the head over a flat comb. (see above). To taper hair down to the neckline, use attachment comb #1. Comb hair and check for uneven spots. Outline sideburns and neck areas (see “Outlining”).

USER-MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS CARE OF YOUR CLIPPERS

IF YOU DETERMINE THAT BLADE
ALIGNMENT IS INCORRECT:
Conair® hair clippers are carefully inspected to ensure that the blades are in perfect alignment. Of course, you will need to realign the blades after removal for cleaning or replacement, or if they should be knocked out of alignment. How can you tell if blades need realigning? Simply match them up, point for point, to conform with FIG. 1 below:

To prevent the clipper from contacting the skin or cutting too closely, make certain that the end top blade teeth are 1/32” to 1/16” back from the bottom blade. To Align Blades:

1. Add two or three drops of Conair Lubricating Oil (included).

2. Turn clipper on for a minute to disperse oil evenly over blades, then turn off.

3. Unplug the clipper and slightly loosen screws. (See FIG. 2)

4. Position the extreme left-hand tooth of the top blade so that it either covers or appears on the left of the first small tooth on the bottom blade.

5. Make sure that the big tooth on the bottom blade touches the extreme right-hand tooth of the top blade.

SPECIAL OIL

To maintain the blades of your Conair clipper, oil them after every three or four haircuts. Gently place a few drops of oil on the teeth of the blades, using the special Conair oil included with your set. Turn the clipper on for a minute, then turn it off. This light, natural oil was formulated specifically for the Conair high-speed clipper. Because it is the right oil to use, it will not slow down the blades. Never use any other product. There is no substitute for Conair oil.

ADJUSTABLE TAPER LEVER
Just like professional clippers, the Conair taper lever is positioned at your thumb. You can hold the clipper in your hand and adjust the lever at the same time…while you’re clipping. This taper lever eliminates the need for an attachment comb because it lets you gradually adjust the closeness of the cut. For the closest cut and the shortest hair,
push the taper lever up as far as it will go. To increase cutting length, slowly push the lever down. If you push to the lowest position, it will leave hair about the same length as the short attachment. Because a different cutting edge is used in each setting, the taper lever lengthens the life of your blades. Packed-in hair can slow down any clipper. To remove hair without removing the blades, do what the professionals do: keeping the clipper on, quickly push the taper lever back and forth from “close” to “longer” cut a few times. If you do this after every clipping, especially with heavy hair cutting, the blades should remain free of cut hair.

If the clipper stops cutting and this action doesn’t help, check the blades. If they’ve become dull, replace them or return them to a Conair service center. We’ll be glad to sharpen them for you. For new blades, send check or money order for $6.50 (see order blank) which includes postage and handling(If $10 minimum is met) to:

NOTE: Never pull on the clipper cord. Never twist or wrap the cord around the clipper. Lay it flat with the cord coiled up when not in use.

WARNING:
IF YOU THINK THE POWER IS OFF WHEN THE SWITCH IS OFF, YOU’RE WRONG.

KEEP AWAY FROM WATER

Everyone knows that electricity and water are a dangerous combination. But did you know that an electric appliance is still electrically live even if the switch is off? If the plug is in, the power is on. So when you are not using your appliances, keep them unplugged.

ALWAYS UNPLUG

Once again, thanks for buying a Conair product.
Your Conair ® clipper blades are made of high carbon stainless steel. They are engineered for precise, professional results. If blades feel like they are pulling or grabbing hair, it means they are losing their sharpness and should be replaced as soon as possible. Attachment combs should also be replaced if they are lost or broken. It is easier to cut hair with the accuracy of a pro when the necessary tools are at your fingertips. Conair makes a variety of accessories for different haircut kits. If your haircut kit does not include them, you may want to consider adding them to your professional hair-cutting tools. Left and right ear attachment combs provide effortless, precise cutting around the ears. Styling clips hold the hair in place when you are sectioning hair. A styling comb makes it easy to taper or cut hair at an angle. A barber cape ensures a comfortable and neat haircut and a convenient storage pouch keeps all your essentials in one place. Last but not least, an easy-to-follow 30- minute “Haircuts at Home” video is available. It demonstrates basic haircutting techniques and follows four popular haircuts step by step. It will give you the confidence and instruction you need to give great-looking haircuts to every member of your family.
