Problem Possible
cause
Solution
The
appliance
produces
an uneven
cutting
result.
The comb
does not
touch
the skin
when you
move the
appliance
through
the hair.
Make sure
that the flat
part of the
comb is
always fully in
contact with
the skin when
you move
the appliance
through the
hair.
You
used the
appliance
on wet
hair.
Do not use
the applian-
ce on wet
hair.
You only
move the
appliance
in one
direction.
Because
not all hairs
grow in
the same
direction,
move the
appliance
in different
directions
(upwards,
downwards
and across).
