PARTS
BEFORE FIRST USE
We have aligned the blades of hair clipper prior the shipment. However, it is possible that the blades may be bumped out of alignment whilst in transit. Please ensure correct blade alignment before use.
Checking the blade alignment by following below steps:
-
Ensure the end to the top blade is closer to the body of hair clipper than the bottom blade.
-
The bottom blades should be as closely aligned as possible to the center of the top blade.
-
If the blades are not aligned correctly, turn the clipper on for a few moments, then turn off and unplug. Loosen the two screws slightly and manually adjust the bottom blade until it is aligned.
Re-tighten the screws. -
Ensure the hair clipper is running smoothly, with a slight vibration, before attempting to cut any hair.
HOW TO USE THE CLIPPER
- Select an appropriate length trimming guide to match the desired length of hair to remain after the cut. The trimming guides are numbered and marked with 3mm, 6mm, 9mm, 12mm, 16mm, 18mm and 25mm.
- Hold comb with teeth up, slide the attachment firmly onto the bottom clipper blade.
- Use the longest comb guide to start trimming. You can always use a closer trimming guide later if you want a closer cut.
- The hair clipper has a taper lever located at the left side. The lever adds versatility by allowing you to gradually change the closeness of your cut without need for a trimming guide.
- When the lever is in the uppermost position, the blades will give you the closest cut and leave the hair very short. Pushing the lever downward gradually to increase the cutting length.
WARNING:
Switch off the device before replacing or changing the attachments
NOTES:
The hair to be dressed must be dry.
NOTES:
The cutting length may deviate depending on the cutting angle. Please start
with a comb attachment with a longer cutting length and then, in the course of
cutting process, use shorter cutting lengths step by step.
BEFORE CUTTING HAIR
- Inspect the clipper and make sure there is no excessive oil on the cutting blades prior ot use. Any excessive oil should be wiped off to prevent it from getting on your kin.
- Place the cape around the neck of the person whose hair is being trimmed or cut.
- This person should be seated so that the top of their head is at your eye level.
- Comb the hair as it is normally styled.
- Comb out all knots and tangles.
- Hold the hair clipper in the palm of one hand and with your thumb resting firmly on the top of the hair clipper to give better control.
- Ensure the hair is dry. Hair clippers perform best with dry hair, making it easier to see how much hair is being cut.
HOW TO GIVE A HAIRCUT
- Start at the back of the head. Hold the clipper lightly against the hair, with the teeth of the guide comb pointing up flat against the head. Slowly lift the clipper up and outward through the hair, cutting only a small amount at a time.
- Repeat around sides and back of head. Make sure the length of the hair is trimmed the same on both sides of the head.
- To cut the top of the head, hold the hair between your fingers and cut a small amount at a time. Cut from the front to back.
- Tapering around ears by using left and right ear trimming guide.
- To trim around the ears and short hairs at the nape, you must remove the trimming guide. Angle the clipper and lightly stoke around each ear to the back of the neck. Be careful not to touch ears o to press too hard.
- Final touch ups can be made with the hair clipper or scissors. Make sure ot check over the entire head for any uneven areas.
SHORT TAPERED STYLES
- Start with the longest trimming guide (25mm), cut from the back of the neck to the crown. Hold the attachement comb flat against the head and slowly move the clipper through the hair, as shown.
- Use the same procedure from the lower side to the upper side of the head, as illustrated. Then cut the hair against the direction in which it grows and level with the sides.
- To give a “flat top” look, the hair on top to the head must be cut over the top of a flat com.
- Use closer cutting attachment combs to taper the hair down to the neckline as desire.
