IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

When using electrical appliances, especially when children are present, take basic safety precautions, including the following:
DANGER
Any appliance is electrically live, even when the switch is off. To reduce the risk of death or injury by electric shock:

Unplug this appliance before cleaning.
Do not place or store appliance where it can fall or be pulled into a tub or sink.
Do not use while bathing or in the shower.
Do not place in, or drop into, water or other liquids.
Do not reach for an appliance that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately. For dry location use only. Do not expose to liquids, vapor or rain.
Except when charging, always unplug this appliance from electrical outlet immediately after using.
Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.
Never drop or insert any object into any opening on this appliance.
Do not place appliance on any surface while it is operating.
Do not use this appliance with a damaged
Do not use outdoors or operate where aerosol (spray) products are being used or where oxygen is being administered.
Never operate the appliance with the air openings blocked or while on a soft surface, such as a bed or couch, where the air openings may be blocked. Keep the air openings free of lint, hair, and other debris.
Always attach plug to appliance first, then to outlet. To disconnect, turn all controls to OFF, then remove plug from outlet.
Avoid skin coming into contact with moving blade.
When using the appliance with its cord, be mindful of tangles or kinks in the cord. If the cord does become tangled during use, turn the unit off and straighten cord before operating again.
Do not short the polarity (output cord) –ensure jack is plugged into the unit before plugging the adapter into outlet.
This appliance is not a toy. Keep away from children.

If you are unsure, go with a #6 and use the C-scoop or crescent-shape motion. The taper is considered a more conservative look, for men in the corporate workplace. It is layered much like a fade, and the technique to create it is much the same with minor differences.Low, Mid or High Fade: Where you stop fading is up to you. You can create a low, mid or high fade. The low fade (see image B), which is essentially the same as a taper and the most conservative style, stops at the temple, continues just above the ear and proceeds to the back across the lower occipital bone below the parietal ridge. It will usually stay within an inch or 2 of the lower neckline. A mid fade (see image C) can stop at the temple or go a little higher. It proceeds higher above the ear and aims for the parietal ridge, approximately 2 to 3 inches above the low hairline. A high fade (see image D) lands above the temple, and dips slightly as it proceeds to the back of the head, above the parietal ridge. You can go even higher if you want to create that high and tight U.S. Marine look. These specifications are general guide-lines. You can create a fade or taper any place on the head and use any degree of steepness you desire. Cutting hair is an art form! The key is to get the look you want. Technique: Start at the bottom of the hairline and use short, upward strokes, trimming as evenly as possible across the back hairline and around to each side, over the ears and sideburns. The length of the stroke will deter-mine how steep or gradual the fade will be, depending on the look you want. Just keep your strokes proportional.Start with quarter-inch to half-inch strokes, using a gentle scrubbing motion, working square to the head surface at this point. Then, switch to the next-longer guide comb and trim around the hairline again, blending in with your first trim layer. To achieve better blending with the first layer, keep using the C-scoop motion with the clipper, gently bend-ing the wrist to pull the clipper away from the head as you move upward.CONAIRMAN® 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 FIG. 1
skin or cutting too closely, make certain that the end top blade teeth are 1/32″ to 1/16″ back from bottom blade.

To Align Blades:

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

OILING INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT! It is highly recommended before each use to oil the blades with the oil provided. This ensures optimum cutting performance. Unscrew the cap and cut off the very end of the plastic tube with a pair of scissors to release the oil.
To oil the blades, ensure that the unit is switched on. Gently squeeze the oil tube and apply 2 drops of oil to the blades (see FIG. 1, 2, and 3). Leave the unit on for a few seconds to allow the oil to thoroughly spread the length of the blades. Switch off the unit and remove any excess oil by gently dabbing with a cloth.Be careful not to use too much oil and don’t oil your clipper more than necessary, as this could damage the motor. (Never attempt to oil the motor bearing, as it is permanently lubricated.)

KEEP OIL OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.
Fades and tapers can vary according to ethnic and regional preferences. Except among the most highly trained professionals, the two terms are often used interchangeably. The techniques to create them are quite similar.The Fade: A fade is a transition in hair length from thin to full that appears around the sides and back of the head. You can havea low, mid or high fade, depending on your preference. Start by choosing your fade line. This is the point where the fade begins, where the hair is shortest. Be conservative to start. Choosing a #1 attachment comb will trim very close to the skin, whereas using no attachment comb will leave the skin bald. Therefore, we suggest starting with a #3 or #4 for your first attempt. You can always go shorter later, but you’ll have to wait for weeks for hair to grow back if you cut it too short at the start.The Taper: A taper (or tape-up) is like a fade, but it sits lower on the head, closer to the ears and low on the nape of the neck. (see image A on next page). It is usually done on the temple and sideburn areas, proceeding low above the ear, and around to the back of the head, but it can continue around the perimeter of the head if so desired (see image B). Choose longer guide combs for a taper than you would for a fade—#4 or #5 is a good start.
