Hair Clipping
I Use this Clipper for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
I Make sure that the appliance is fully charged
before you start clipping hair.
I Before you start clipping, make sure that the
head of the person whose hair you are cutting
is at the same level as your chest so that all
parts of his/her head are clearly visible and
within easy reach.
I Only use the appliance on clean, dry hair.
I Do not use on freshly washed hair.
I Before you begin,comb the hair in the direction
of growth (fig. 2).
I To achieve optimal clipping results, always move
the appliance slowly through the hair against
the direction of hair growth.
Clipping with small or large comb
Be certain the Clipper is in the OFF position.
u Select the comb attachment.The table shows
the remaining hair length after clipping at the
different settings of the small or large comb.
The remaining hair length is also indicated on each
comb:
- Small comb: 3-11mm (1/8 - 11/25 in.)
- Large comb: 13-21 mm (1/2 - 7/8 in.)
B Slide the selected comb into the guiding
grooves on both sides of the Clipper swivel
head and push until you hear it ‘click’ into
place (fig. 3).
Make sure the comb attachment locks properly
into position.
□ Press the Hair Length Selector (1) and slide it
left or right to the desired setting (2) (fig. 4).
See Table 1 for settings.
Do not slide the length selector beyond the
highest hair length setting (S).
B
The selected hair length setting (1-5) is
shown in the two length setting indication
windows on both sides of the length selector
(fig. 5).
When you are clipping for the first time, start
at the maximum clipping length setting (#5) of
the large comb to familiarize yourself with the
appliance and prevent accidentally trimming
hairs too short. As you become familiar with the
settings, adjust the Hair Length Selector to desired
trimming length.
