switch

Cutting hair
NOTE
► The hair to be cut should be clean and dry.
► Comb the hair carefully to remove any knots.
► Place a hairdressing cape or a cloth around your neck and throat to stop
hair trimmings from falling inside your collar.
► Start by setting the cutting length attachment ( 10 or 11 ) to a longer length
and reduce this in stages while cutting the hair.
► Please note that the corresponding cut length will only be achieved if the
appliance is being held at right angles to the skin surface.
♦ Switch the hair and beard trimmer on by pressing the ON/OFF switch 6 .
♦ Run the hair and beard trimmer slowly through your hair.
♦ When doing so, hold the appliance so that the cutting length attachment ( 10 or
11 ) is as fl at as possible against your scalp.
♦ Always cut from your neck towards the top of your head, or from your forehead
and temples upwards towards the middle of your head.
♦ Use the cutter unit without the cutting length attachment ( 10 or 11 ) to cut the
hair very short.
Thinning your hair
The hair and beard trimmer has a thinner attachment 2 to thin out thick hair
growth.
♦ Push the slide switch for the thinner attachment 3 left as far as the stop to the
position in order to position the thinner attachment 2 in front of the cutting
unit . The thinner attachment 2 prevents the cutting unit from cutting every
hair.
♦ Push the slide switch for the thinner attachment 3 right as far as the stop to
position 0 when you no longer want to use the thinner attachment.
