tips
- To clip most effectively, move the appliance against the hair growth
direction.
- Since all hair does not grow in the same direction, you need to move
the appliance in different directions (upwards, downwards and across).
- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is always fully in contact with
the scalp to obtain an even result.
- Make overlapping passes over the head to ensure that you cut all the
hair that needs to be cut.
5 Regularly remove cut hair from the comb.
If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb, remove the comb from the
appliance and blow and/or shake the hair out of it.
Contouring without comb
You can use the appliance without comb to clip hair very close to the skin
(0.5mm) or to contour the neckline and the area around the ears.
Be careful when you clip without comb because the cutting
element removes every hair it touches.
1 Press the setting selector and slide the comb up, then pull the
comb off the appliance.
2 Before you start to contour the hairline around the ears,
comb the hair ends over the ears.
