Using the appliance

Make sure your hair is clean and dry. Do not use

the appliance on freshly washed hair.

1

Comb your hair with a styling comb in the

direction of hair growth (Fig. 3).
Clipping with comb attachment
Use the small or large comb attachment,

depending on the desired hair length. The

remaining hair length after cutting is indicated

in mm on the comb attachments. The selected

hair length setting (1-5) is shown in the two

length setting indication windows on both

sides of the length selector (Fig. 4).

See the table below for an overview of the length

settings and the corresponding hair lengths of each

comb attachment.

Using the swivel head
From its starting position of 0° (pointing

forwards), you can turn the swivel head 45°

or 90° to the left or right. In this way, you

can adjust the position of the cutting element

to the part of your head you are clipping.

This makes it much easier to clip your own

hair. (Fig. 7)

1

Set the cutting element to the desired

position by turning the swivel head (‘click’). (

Fig. 8)

Always adjust the position of the cutting element

with the swivel head. Do not turn the cutting

element or the comb attachment.
Do not turn the swivel head more than 90° to

the left or right.

The swivel head allows you to hold and

use the appliance like a brush. (Fig. 9)
Tips

We advise you to start clipping at the highest

setting of the large comb attachment and to

reduce the hair length setting gradually.

If a lot of hair has accumulated in the comb

attachment, remove it from the clipper

and blow and/or shake the hair out of it. When

you remove the comb attachment, the hair

length setting does not change.

Write down the hair length settings you use

to create a certain hairstyle as a reminder for

future clipping sessions.

1

Move the clipper through the hair slowly.

The hair on different parts of your head

grows in different directions. You may want

to try different clipping directions (upwards,

downwards and across) (Fig. 10).

To clip in the most effective way, move the

appliance against the direction of hair growth.

2

Turn the swivel head to the position that is

most comfortable for your arm when clipping

the different parts of your head.

3

 Make sure that the flat part of the comb 

attachment is fully in contact with the scalp to

obtain an even cutting result.
Clipping without comb attachment

You can use the clipper without comb attachment

to clip your hair very close to the skin (0.8mm) or

to contour the neckline and the area around the

ears.
Note: When you use the hair clipper without a comb

attachment, the clipper cuts the hair very close to the

skin.

1

Remove the comb attachment by pulling it off

the swivel head (Fig. 11).

Never pull at the flexible top of the comb 

attachment. Always pull at the bottom part.

2

When you contour the hair around the ears,

only cut the hair ends. The hairline should be

close to the ear (Fig. 12).

3

To contour the neckline and the sideburns,

turn the clipper and make downward

strokes (Fig. 13).

4

Move slowly and smoothly. Just follow the

natural hairline.

5

Adjust the position of the swivel head to

make contouring easier.
Using the precision trimmer

You can use the appliance with the precision

trimmer to contour the neckline and the area

around the ears more easily and more precisely.
