Clipping scalp hair
Preparing for clipping
Only use the appliance on dry scalp hair. Do not
use it on freshly washed scalp hair.
1
Make sure that the appliance is fully charged.
It is not possible to run the appliance from the
mains when the battery is empty.
2
Make sure that the head of the person whose
hair you intend to cut is at the same level as
your chest.
This ensures that all parts of the head are clearly
visible and within easy reach.
3
Comb the hair in the direction of growth
with the barber’s comb.
Clipping with hair clipping comb

the comb to the desired setting (see table
below). (Fig. 5)
,
The selected setting appears in the window

appliance slowly against the direction of hair
growth. (Fig. 6)
- Do not move the appliance too fast. Make
smooth and gentle movements.
- Make sure that the flat part of the comb is
always fully in contact with the scalp to obtain
an even result (Fig. 7).
- Make overlapping passes over the head to
ensure that all hair that should be cut is cut.
- Pass the appliance slowly over the crown
from different directions to achieve an even
result (Fig. 8).
4
Regularly remove the comb to blow and/or
shake out hair that has accumulated.
You have to adjust the clipping length again after
you have removed the comb.
Contouring without hair clipping comb
Be careful when you clip without comb, because
the appliance removes every hair it touches.

To remove the comb, press the hair length
selector (1) and slide the comb upwards (2).

2
Use the appliance without the hair clipping
comb to contour edges.
- To shape the contours round the ears, tilt the
appliance in such a way that only one edge
of the trimming attachment touches the hair
ends (Fig. 10).
- To contour the nape hairline, hold
the appliance with the teeth of the trimming
attachment pointing towards the skin. (Fig. 11)
- To contour the sideburns, hold the appliance
with the teeth of the trimming attachment
pointing towards the skin (Fig. 12).
