The Charging Indicator Light will glow to indicate that it is charging. The light will go out when charging is complete.
If the product is not going to be used for an extended period of time (2 – 3 months), unplug it from the mains and store. Fully recharge your hair clipper when you would like to use it again.
The hair clipper will be fully charged in 2 hours.
The clipper comes with a quick charge function, 10 minutes of charging will give an emergency burst of run time.

REMINGTON HC5001AU X5 Power-X Series Hair Clipper - fig

The blades are washable under a running tap but must be removed before they are cleaned in this way. Keep the body of the device dry at all times.
To remove the blades ensure the unit is switched off. Push the blade set away from the clipper body using your thumb (Fig A).
To reattach once the blades are cleaned and dry, align the bottom of the blade with the bottom blade housing tab and slide the cartridge back into place until you hear a click.

CLEANING CAUTIONS

Do not use harsh or corrosive cleaners on the units or their blades.
Ensure the appliance is switched off and unplug from the main outlet before cleaning. Storage: Always store this appliance and cord in a moisture-free area. Do not wrap the cord around the appliance. Do not store in temperatures above 60ºC.

INSTRUCTION FOR USE BEFORE STARTING THE CUT

Make sure your clipper is operating correctly. Inspect the hair clipper making sure that it is free from hair and dirt.
Place a cape around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed or cut.
Seat the person so that their head is approximately at your eye level.
Before cutting, always comb the hair so it is tangle-free and dry.
Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper. This grip provides comfortable cutting control.

TO ATTACH A COMB

Hold the comb with its teeth upward.
Align the legs of the comb with the holes in the top of the clipper on each side of the blade and slide the legs into the trimmer until they click (Fig B).
To remove, firmly pull the comb straight up away from the clipper.

SETTING THE LENGTH OF CUT

Your clipper comes with three adjustable combs 3 to 13 mm, 14 to 24 mm and 25 to 35 mm.
These provide a length of cut that can be adjusted between 3 and 35 mm in increments of 1 mm.

Select the comb that fits the range of cut you want to achieve.
Fit the comb then rotate the length adjustment dial until the length you want appears in the length selection window for that comb.
The length setting color on the wheel matches the length marker color on the comb.
For example, if you want a cut length of 20 mm, fit the 14 to 24 mm comb then turn the dial until 20 appears in the length setting window for the 14 – 24 mm comb.
Use the clipper without any fixed combs for trimming hair close to the skin.
This will trim hair to 1mm, holding the clipper so the blades are perpendicular to the skin will trim hair to 0.5mm.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR CUTTING HAIR

Turn the product on using the on/off switch.
For even cutting, allow the comb attachment/blade to cut its way through the hair. Do not force it through quickly. If you are cutting for the first time, start with the maximum guide comb, until you know how short you would like your hair to be.
The comb guide lengths described for use in the steps below are an example only, if you want longer or shorter hair cut you will need to adjust the comb guide lengths to suit your requirements.

Step 1 – Nape Of The Neck

Use a 3mm or 6mm guide comb.
Hold the hair clipper with the blade teeth pointing upwards. Begin starting at the center of the head at the base of the neck.
Slowly lift the hair clipper, working upwards and outwards through the hair, trimming just a little at a time.

Step 2 – Back Of The Head

With the comb set at 12 mm or 18 mm, cut the hair at the back of the head.

Step 3 – Side Of The Head

With the comb set at 3 mm or 6 mm, trim sideburns.
Then change to the longer 9mm guide comb and continue to cut to the top of the head.

Step 4 – Top Of The Head

Use the longer-length comb attachment and set it to 24 mm or 27 mm then cut hair on top of the head against the direction in which the hair normally grows.
For longer hair on top, use the longer-length comb attachment (25 – 35 mm) to achieve the desired style.
Always work from the back of the head.

Step 5 – The Finishing Touches

Use the hair clipper without an attachment comb for close trimming around the base and sides of the neck.
To produce a clean straight line at the sideburns, reverse the clipper. Place the reversed hair clipper at right angles to the head, tips of the blades lightly touching the skin, and then work downwards.

MICRO FADE ADJUSTABLE COMB

The micro fade adjustable comb allows precision cutting in the 1 to 5 mm range.
Use the adjustment dial to set the comb to the desired length.

TURBO

To run in Turbo mode, slide the on/off switch to the turbo position.
