VALERA T-BLADE PROFESSIONAL - Manual (Page 4)

CUTTING WITH GUIDE COMBS
Depending on the type of cut desired, the appliance can be used with or without
a guide comb. There are two sets of combs: one for use with the ceramic blades
and the other for use with the blades for finishing, trimming and cutting beards.
Each set of combs can be used to achieve the following lengths:
• Comb n° 4, size 12.8 mm (fig.1 - ref.14 and 19)
• Comb n° 3, size 10 mm (fig.1 - ref.15 and 20)
• Comb n° 2, size 6.8 mm (fig.1 - ref.16 and 21)
• Comb n° 1, size 4 mm (fig.1 - ref.17 and 22)
• Comb n° 0, size 2 mm (fig.1 - ref.18 and 23)
• Blending comb (fig.1 - ref.24)
• Without guide comb: 0.6 mm
USING THE VARIOUS BLADES
The appliance comes provided with a series of blades:
- ceramic blades for cutting hair (fig.1 - ref.2),
- blades for finishing, trimming and cutting beards (fig.1 - ref.25),
- blades for sculpting special effects and finishing (fig.1 - ref.26).
CERAMIC BLADES
The combination of ceramic blades guarantees a perfect hair cut for long time
without oiling.
REMOVING THE GUIDE COMBS

• To remove the comb, unlock it as shown in (fig.2).

STYLING TIPS
SHORT STYLES
• Choose the right guide comb for the desired length. We advise you begin with
a longer comb and then move on to a shorter one later if desired.
• Cut hair while dry, using short strokes and progressing slowly.
• Comb the hair as you proceed in order to remove cut hair and check the results.
• NECK: Starting from the midpoint of the bottom of the neck (fig.4) work
upwards using short strokes towards the middle of the head (fig.5), gradually
working outwards to the sides.
• SIDES: We advise you use a shorter guide comb for the sides, working in the
same way as with the neck. To finish sideburns and the area around the ears,
use the appliance without a guide comb, holding it turned downwards.
• TOP OF HEAD: Use a longer guide comb. Start from the forehead working
backwards towards the middle of the head.
LONGER STYLES
• Use the same method, starting from the neck and working upwards, followed
by the sides and then the top of the head.
• To adjust the cutting length, use the barber’s comb (fig.6), or else your fingers
to help (fig.7), using the appliance without a guide comb.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The cleaning and maintenance procedure must be carried out after every use.
• All maintenance or blade change operations must be carried out with the
appliance switched OFF and removed from the mains adapter.
