6. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The hair clipper contains a rechargeable
Ni-MH (Nickel and metal hydride) battery.
To preserve the environment, do not discard
with domestic refuse when the device is at
the end of its life.
Extract the battery from the hair clipper
as indicated in the figures and deposit it
• Check that the hair clipper is clean,
lubricated and that the battery is
charged.
• Hold the hair clipper such that the flat
side of the comb points towards the
head and move it slowly and uniformly
over the head.
• In general, start with the sides or the
neck, and cut towards the crown. Then
cut the fringe towards the centre.
• Until you gain experience, start cutting
the hair longer and reduce gradually.
• Stop cutting every now and then, clean
cut hair with the comb and check how
it looks so far.
• The hair must be clean, dry and
untangled.
• After use, disconnect the power cable,
extract the comb (A) and clean hair
remains from the clipper with the brush.
• Clean the outside of the clipper with
a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or
abrasive products. Do not put the
clipper in water.
• Release the set of blades and use the
brush to clean inside (Fig. 3). Hold the
set of blades and extract by pulling
outwards. Use a cloth to avoid injury.
• MCP-45: For an optimum cut, it is
important that you lubricate the set of
blades frequently with machine lube oil
(Fig. 4) After cleaning and lubricating
mount the blades again.
the sides – the hair directly above the ears.
Then set the spacer comb (A) to a longer
length and continue cutting the top of the
head.
Step 4. Top of head
Use the spacer comb (A) to cut the hair
on the top of the head from the back to
the front, against the direction of the hair
growth. In some cases you may have to
work backwards from the front. If you
observe that the spacer comb (A) is cutting
the hair too short, use comb (I). Cut with
the hair clipper above the comb, or hold
the hair between our fingers and cut it to
the length desired. Always work from the
rear of the head. Cut the hair shorter by
gradually reducing the distance between
the comb, or fingers, and the head. Use
comb (I) regularly to check if irregular locks
of hair remain and to remove cut hair.
Step 5. The final touch
Lastly, to achieve a precise and good cut,
remove the comb and rotate the clipper
(with the bottom facing up), so that it can
touch the bottom of the neck area, the
sides and the area around the ears. Set
the adjustable cutting length button to the
lowest position. Hold the hair clipper at a
right angle to the head, with the tips of the
cutting blade lightly touching the skin, and
work downwards.
This will produce as soft result as if a razor
blade had been used.
Cut hair longer
If you want a haircut with gradually
diminishing hair, first divide and comb the
hair as normal. Then divide the hair from
the front in three equal sections around the
head. Fix the two upper layers with clips,
so that they do not interfere when cutting
the lower layer. After this, cut with scissors
or a hair clipper combined with a comb.
