Using the appliance
Clipping with contouring comb
Caution: For optimal safety, we advise
you to always use the appliance with
the contouring comb.
Note: Make sure the hair is clean and dry.
Do not use the appliance on wet hair.
Note: Make sure the head of the person
whose hair you are cutting is at the
same level as your chest. This ensures
that all parts of the head are clearly
visible and within easy reach.
1 Comb the hair in the direction of
hair growth.
2
Slide the contouring comb
into the guiding grooves of the
appliance (‘click’) (Fig. 6).
Make sure that the arms of the
contouring comb have been slid
properly into the grooves on both
sides of the appliance.
3
Press the setting selector (1) and
slide the contouring comb to the
desired hair length setting (2).
Then release the setting selector to
lock the hair length setting (Fig. 7).
Hair length settings
- The settings are shown on the
arms of the contouring comb.
The settings correspond to the
remaining hair length after cutting
(Fig. 8).
- The contouring comb cuts the hair
to a length of 3mm, 6mm, 9mm,
12mm, 15mm, 18mm or 21mm.
4 Switch on the appliance (Fig. 9).
5 Move the appliance through the
hair slowly.
Note: Make sure that the flat part of
the contouring comb is fully in contact
with the scalp to obtain an even cutting
result.
Tips:
- Start clipping at the highest hair
length setting of the contouring
comb and reduce the hair length
setting gradually.
- Write down the hair length
settings you use to create a certain
hairstyle as a reminder for future
clipping sessions.
- To clip most effectively, move the
appliance against the hair growth
direction.
- Move the appliance in different
directions (upward, downward or
across), because hair doesn’t all
grow in the same direction.
- Make overlapping passes over the
head to ensure that the appliance
catches all the hairs that need to
be cut.
- Make sure that the flat part of the
contouring comb is fully in contact
with the scalp to obtain an even
cutting result.
- Regularly remove cut hair from the
contouring comb If a lot of hair
has accumulated in the contouring
comb, remove it from the
appliance and blow and/or shake
the hair out of it.
