uSIng your KambrooK HaIr
ClIpper
before uSe
Before starting to cut your hair, follow these
simple steps . . .
1. Make sure the blades are clean and well oiled.
Unwind the cord to its full length, ensure that the
on/off switch is in the OFF position, and plug the
clipper into a 230/240V power outlet. You may
then proceed to turn the power on.
2. Place a towel around the neck of the person
who’s hair is being cut to prevent hair from falling
inside the shirt collar.
3. Position the person in a chair so that his/her
head is at your eye level
4. Comb the hair to remove all the tangles and
hold the clipper in a relaxed, comfortable grip to
help you maintain accurate cutting control.
5. Ensure that the blades are free of any hair
clippings and that they are well oiled (see
maintaining your Kambrook Clipper on page 5).
Take special note of the following tips to ensure
you achieve the best cut possible….
1. For Uniform cutting, never push or force the
hair clipper through the hair at a fast speed. The
hair clipper works most efficiently when it runs at
its own speed.
2. Initially cut only a small amount of hair until
you become accustomed to the length each
attachment leaves the hair.
3. The entire procedure requires practice and it is
suggested to try the longest attachment comb on
their hair clipper first. Then use the shorter one
if a shorter length is desired.
CuttIng your HaIr
medium to long Cut (with attachment
combs)
1. Begin by combing your hair in its natural
direction.
2. Place the largest attachment comb onto the
hair clipper and start by trimming the sides from
the bottom upwards. Hold the hair clipper lightly
1. Always cut from the back of the neck to the
crown, using the longest attachment comb.
Holding it flat against the head, slowly move the
hair clipper up from the hair. (Diagram C-1)
2. Use the same technique for the sides, cutting
from the bottom to the upper side of the head.
3. From the front to the crown, cut the hair
against the direction in which it grows. Then
even it up with the sides. (Diagram C-2)
4. To taper hair down to the neckline, use closer
cutting attachment combs. Comb hair, check for
uneven spots and outline sideburns and neckline.
(Diagram C-3)
5. If a short tapered cut on the sides and back is
desired, follow the diagram below and change
attachments as illustrated. (Diagram C-4)

CleanIng
After you have finished using your hair clipper,
rapidly move the adjustable lever up and down
a couple of times while the hair clipper is still
running to remove any hair that may be caught in
between the blades. Switch off the appliance and
power outlet. Then, unplug your hair clipper and
clean the blades with the brush supplied.
oIlIng
To maintain the hair clipper in peak condition,
the blades should be regularly oiled before,
during and after every haircut. A substitute/
replacement for the clipper oil supplied in the kit
is household sewing machine oil.
NOTE: Do not use hair oil, grease, oil mixed with
kerosene or solvent, as these may slow down the
motion of the blade.
To oil the blades, gently squeeze a few drops of
oil between the blade teeth and turn the clipper
on, checking that the clipper is running smoothly.
If the blades are dulled and have stopped cutting,
replace them with new blades from your nearest
Kambrook service centre.
against the hair with the teeth of the attachment
comb pointing up but flat against the head. Slowly
lift the hair clipper up and outward through
the hair, cutting only a small amount at a time.
(Diagram A-1)
3. Repeat around sides and back of head. (Diagram
A-2 & A-3)
4. If you desire a shorter cut, either change to a
lower number attachment comb or apply more
pressure and less lift away from the head with the
attachment comb already in use.
5. For the top of the head, you will give a fairly
short cut if you use the #4 attachment comb.
With the teeth flat against the head, slowly start
trimming from the front to the back (Diagram A-4)
outlining
1. Outlining requires no attachment comb. Take
the hair clipper and push the lever up to the close
– cut position (see “adjustable lever”)
2. Comb hair into the style. Position hair clipper
between the side burns and the ear. (Diagram B-1)
3. Make sure the corner edge of the blade is up
against the hairline. With the outline of the hair
as your guide, slowly move the hair clipper over,
around and behind the ears. (Diagram B-2)
4. For the back of the neck and side burns, hold the
clipper up side down, and holding it against the skin
at the length desired, move downwards.
Short Cuts
adjuStable lever
The adjustable lever adds versatility to your hair
clipper by allowing you to gradually adjust the
closeness of your cut without using an attachment
comb.
When the lever is in the uppermost position, the
blade will give you the closest cut. To increase the
cutting length, push the lever downward gradually.
The lever extends the variety of lengths that can be
achieved with each attachment comb, by using the
varying cutting edges with each attachment comb.
attaCHment CombS
Attachment combs should be fitted to the hair
clipper by placing the top edge (comb edge) of
the attachment comb over the top of the cutting
blades.
Gently lift the tab at the other end of the
attachment comb and push down until a click is
heard.
