BEFORE USE
Check if the blades are well oiled but there is
no excess oil on their surfaces.
Use an appliance only on clean and dry hair.
Seat the person you are going to give a hair
cut to, in a position that you can have a good
look on the crown of his (her) head. Cover his
(her) neck and shoulders with a towel.
Before starting to cut make sure that the hair is well combed.
Remember the direction in which the hair grows and the shape
of the back of the head so you may take that into account
while cutting the hair.
To make the haircut uniform and even, move the clipper slowly
through without forcing it.
When making your first haircut it is better leave the hair longer,
until you become familiar with each of the attachment combs.
Always begin with the attachment comb with the biggest num-
ber: you can always make the hair shorter afterwards.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
1. Remove the blade guard (3) from the appli-
ance.
2. Connect the appropriate attachment comb.
Each attachment comb is clearly marked on their
outer surface:
Attachment comb No. 1 – hair length left: 3 mm
Attachment comb No. 2 – hair length left: 6 mm
Attachment comb No. 3 – hair length left: 9 mm
Attachment comb No. 4 – hair length left: 12 mm
To connect the attachment comb, hold with its teeth upward,
and slide it along the clipper’s cutting surface until its forepart
sits on the clipper’s blade (see Figure 1). Then press on the
comb until it clicks. To remove the attachment comb, repeat the
steps above in reverse order (Figure 2).
3. To make the haircut uniform and even, move the clipper slowly
and comb the hair frequently with the barber comb (12) to
remove the cut hairs and to check for uneven locks.
4. Hold the clipper so that the cutting edge points upwards; begin
cutting hair at the center part of the neck base (see Figure
3b).
5. When finished clipping, turn the clipper off by pressing the 0/
I switch (5) and unplug from the electrical outlet.
6. On how to make a haircut see section “Useful tips”.
Adjustable taper control (4)
The control (4) is located under your thumb if you are holding
the clipper in your right hand.
The lever adds versatility to your clipper by allowing you to
gradually change the closeness of your cut without changing
an attachment comb. When the lever is in the uppermost po-
sition, the blades will give you the closest cut and leave the hair
