Hair Clipping
I Use this Clipper for its intended household
use as described in this manual.
► If you are clipping someone else's hair, make
sure that the head of the person 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.
►
Do not use on freshly washed hair.
► Before you begin,comb the hair in the direction
of growth (Fig. 3).
► To achieve optimal clipping results, always move
the appliance slowly through the hair against
the direction of hair growth.
Clipping with comb attachment
D Be certain the Clipper is in the OFF position.
u Select the comb attachment depending on
the desired hair length.The table shows
the remaining hair length after clipping at the
different settings of the precision or regular
comb.
The remaining hair length is also indicated on each
comb (Fig. 4):
- Precision comb: 1-3mm (3/64 - 1/8 in.)
- Regular comb: 3-15mm (1/8 - 5/8 in.)
D Slide the selected comb into the guiding
grooves on both sides of the Clipper rotating
head and push until you hear it ‘click’ into
place (Fig. 5).
Make sure the comb attachment locks properly
into position.
a
Turn the Hair Length Setting Adjustment Ring
to set the comb to the desired setting (Fig.
6). See Table 1 for settings.
Do not turn the length setting adjustment ring
beyond the highest hair length setting.
B The arrowhead on the Clipper indicates
which setting has been selected.
When you are clipping for the first time, start
at the maximum clipping length setting (#5) of
the regular 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.

TIP: Use different settings to create a natural and
smooth transition between various hair lengths from
your neckline to the top of your head (Fig. 7).
Using the rotating head
► At the starting clipping position of 0° (pointing
forward), turn the rotating head 45’ or 90° to
the left or right to adjust the position of the
cutting element to the part of your head you
are clipping (Fig. 8).
a
Turn the rotating head left or right to the
desired clipping position. At each position you
will hear a ‘click’ (Fig. 9).
Always adjust the position of the cutting element
by turning the rotating head. Do not turn the
cutting element or the comb attachment.
B The rotating head allows you to hold and use
the Clipper like a styling comb (Fig. 10).
Do not turn the rotating head more than 90° to
the left or right.
B Press the ON/OFF button to turn on the
appliance.
□ Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always in full contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result.
B Since all hairs do not grow in the same
direction, move the Clipper slowly over the
crown from different directions (i.e. upwards,
downwards and across) to achieve an even
result (Fig. 11).
B
Always move the Clipper slowly against the
direction of hair growth.
B
Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that all hair that should be cut has
been cut.
B
As you clip different areas of your head,
adjust the position of the swivel head so
that the rotating head position is most
comfortable for you.
B
For best results with curly, sparse or long
hair, use a styling comb to guide the hair
towards the Clipper.
EE
Turn the Clipper off regularly during clipping
and remove the hair comb to blow and/or
shake out hair that has accumulated.
When you remove the comb, the selected setting
does not change.
TIP:Write down the settings you have used to create
a certain hairstyle as a reminder for future clipping
sessions.
Contouring without a comb
attachment
► Use the Clipper without a comb attachment to
clip very close to the skin (1/32 in/0.5mm).
► Be careful when you are clipping without a
comb as when the Clipper is turned on it will
remove every hair it touches.
Q Remove the comb by pulling it off the swivel
head (Fig. 12).
Never pull at the flexible top of the comb. Always
pull at the bottom part.
