Cutting hair with attachments
(for medium to long cut)
To attach combs, hold comb with teeth up, snap
comb attachment firmly to the bottom of the
clipper blade.
Attachment comb 1 -- Leaves hair approx. 3mm in length
Attachment comb 2 -- Leaves hair approx. 6mm in length
Attachment comb 3 -- Leaves hair approx. 9mm in length
Attachment comb 4 -- Leaves hair approx. 12mm in length
•
At the beginning, cut only a small amount of
hair until you become accustomed to the length
each comb attachment leaves the hair.
•
We recommend you try the longest attachment
comb on the clipper first, then use the shorter
one if the desired length is shorter.
•
For uniform cutting, never push or force the
clipper through the hair at a fast rate.The clipper
works most efficiently when it works at its own
speed.
•
Start by combing the hair into its natural
direction.
•
Place the largest, attachment comb onto your
clipper and start by trimming the sides from the
bottom upwards.
•
Hold the clipper lightly against
the hair with teeth of the
attachment comb pointing up
but flat against the head.
Slowly lift the clipper up and
outward through the hair,
cutting only a small amount at
a time. (fig.1)
•
Repeat around the sides and
back of the head. (fig.2)
•
If you require short hair,
change to a lower number
attachment comb or apply
more pressure and less lift
away from the head with the
present attachment comb.
•
This procedure requires
practice, and it is always
better to leave too much hair
the first few haircuts. (fig.3)
•
For the top of the head, you
will give a fairly short cut if
you use attachment comb 4.
With the teeth flat against
the head, slowly start
trimming from the front to
the back. Again, it is better to
leave the hair longer the first
few haircuts. (fig.4)
Outlining
•
Outlining does not require
any attachments. Take the
clipper and push the lever up
to the close cut-position.
•
Comb hair into the style.
Position clipper between the
side burns and the ear. (fig.5)
•
Make sure the corner edge of
the blade is against the
hairline. With the outline of
the hair as your guide, slowly
move the clipper over,
around and behind the ears.
(fig.6)
•
For the back of the neck and
side burns, hold the clipper
upside down and holding it
against the skin at the
desired length, move
downwards.
Short cuts to crew cuts
•
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
clipper up through the hair.
Using the same technique for
the sides, cutting from the
bottom to the upper side of
the head. (fig.7)
•
For the front to the crown,
cut the hair against the
direction in which it grows.
Then even it up with the
sides. (fig.8)
•
For a flat top, use a flat
comb, not the attachment
comb. Just cut hair on top of
the head over it. To taper hair
down to the neckline, use
closer cutting attachment
combs. Comb hair and check
for uneven spots and outline
sideburns and neckline (fig.9)
•
If a short tapered cut on all
sides and back is desired,
follow the diagram below:

The four basic areas illustrated on the hair
cutting guide are your “road map” to easy do-it
yourself hair cutting.
Maintenance
•
Your clippers were examined to ensure that the
blades were oiled and aligned before leaving
our factory.
•
Blades must be realigned if they have been
removed for cleaning or replacement.
•
To realign the blades, simply match the upper
and bottom blades teeth up, point for point.
(End of top blade teeth should be approx.
1.2mm back from the bottom blade).
•
If blade alignment is incorrect, add a few drops
of oil to the blades, turn the clipper on for a
few moments, turn off and unplug. Loosen
screws slightly and adjust. Tighten screws
after blade is aligned.

Tips
•
Make sure that the clipper is clean, properly
oiled and in perfect working condition.
•
Place a towel around the neck of the person, to
prevent hair from falling down inside the collar.
•
Position the person whose hair is to be cut on a
chair so that his/her head is at your eye level.
•
Comb the hair to remove all tangles, hold the
clipper in a relaxed; comfortable grip. This will
help you to maintain accurate cutting control.
